Has anyone had issues with rusting on the inside? I have spent so much in the last several years on high end tea kettles and they have all rusted.

No rusting after a year of daily use; and I solved the "discolorization" problem I was having with Barkeeper's Friend

No rust thus far; had mine for nearly a year. Gotta say, though, I generally don't keep water just sitting in itl

I haven't - it's probably deposits from your water supply adhering to the kettle while it's boilingI use only RO water (reverse osmosis) in my kettle and it looks brand new after more than a year of daily use. Try cleaning it with some CLR - that stuff works great on rust and hard water deposits

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

I would like the same answer. This is my second Michael Graves teapot. The first lasted for years. This second one is starting to show rust on the spout. It is coming from the screw attaching the spinner to the cover. Teapot is not even a year old! Much flimsier construction than the first!

I would err on the side of caution and say don't use it anymore. If you've burned the chrome coating off the copper, there's a good chance you have compromised the seams of the kettle or maybe also the soldered connections that hold the "heating element" to the bottom. It was an unfortunate mistake that can happen to anyone. Trying to do too much at once, while making tea! Sorry this happened to you and your VERY EXPENSIVE kettle, but I wouldn't risk using the kettle again. Do you have money? Use it as a pretty flower pot and buy another!

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

I still use my everyday. I don't have any rusting issue what so every. I have been using my everyday since I got it. The inside still looks new.

I have been trouble by the rust as well.... I have had mine for about 6 months too, and use it constantly.... Any ideas would be helpful because I LOVE this thing!!!!

I haven't had that experience probably because I leave my tea bag in the ug a long time.......however the kettle is a big disappointment. I don't like the black interior mat all and having to hold the "gizmo" to pour out the water is very painful. I will go to the stores to find one that suits me and where I can open it up and see inside.

I am not sure. The texture is different than my teflon cookware. Running your fingers across the inner kettle there is the a sqeak to it. If you ask because like most teakettle owners, they leave water in it between uses. However, this is not a habit I would promote for a teakettle. I always rinse mine after use or before the end of the day. There is still some residual water as I don't leave it out to dry in the dish rack, but looking into it, there are no rust marks on it.

Hi Daniel,I got mine on April 21st. I'm using it daily ever since.I just checked it, and there was no sign of rust inside it.Note: I fill it with water from the reverse osmosis purifier only. Maybe that's why I haven't got any rust.ibraheem

I don't know what the inside is but mine is completely rusted. I've only had it a year. I'll admit I didn't fully read the "directions" which indicate it should be emptied out and dried between each use. I am looking for another one that is stainless steel which will not rust.

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

Mine actually rusted after their first trip through the dishwasher. None of my other silverware have experienced any rust issues (not even the cheap stuff), I guess I have just gotten a faulty set.

I have never had any problem with rust - stainless steel should not rust under normal use.

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

Not a problem. I reheat water in the teapot routinely. The interior of the kettle is also enameled and not just raw metal so rust isn't a problem....as long as the enamel is intact and not chipped off via denting or other damage. I don't know how long the enameled interior lasts but I'm a seasoned citizen and therefore consider it to have a lifetime guarantee.
