Query: Good while it lasted...

The kettle was good while it lasted in that it boiled water quickly and reliably. I didn't notice any silicon taste to the water that others have reported, but then again, I'm not very sensitive about those issues.The problem is that one and a half years after purchasing this device, small bits of the black plastic that the trim is made of started breaking off of the interior and falling into the water. I have no idea how many pieces of this plastic I had ingested before I noticed a particularly large one: 1/8" square.It is out of warranty so I have to buy a new one and it certainly wont be Chef's Choice (the brand) or anything else made by EdgeCraft (the actual manufacturer).
