Jake & Leo Stylish Goose-Neck Pour Over Kettle for Tea or Coffee

by Leave a Comment

This Jake & Leo Pour Over Kettle (Amazon link) -for tea or coffee – is crazy handsome. I love the goose-neck, dimpled body, and.. as for the handle.. it seals the deal beautifully.

What’s to Love?

The “Dimple” design isn’t just modern looking, it’s also a very hot and stylish look right now. I’m seeing dimple patterns turning up everywhere and I’m wild about it. The Jake & Leo ‘Dimple’ Pour Over Kettle is quite “on trend” as the kids say.

I love a goose-neck spout when making coffee and tea. In fact, I have gotten so infatuated with them (and spoiled to their effectiveness) that I am like a fish out of water when I have to use anything else! The precision of a goose-neck kettle ruins all other kettles for you.

This kettle is suitable for all stove types. Our stove top is ceramic and not all pans or kettles are suitable. I LOVE that this beauty is.

Last but not least…. it’s beautiful!

Take a closer look at the Jake & Leo Pour Over Kettle (Amazon link) and see if you’re as smitten as I am.

 

Kiwi (or Lime) Green Teakettle: I’m All About This Color These Days

by

I have always used a WILD and WIDE range of colors in my kitchen. One reason is I love the whimsical look more than any other and that pretty much means anything goes. Another reason is I like to use colors of the season, which means I use vibrant colors like Kiwi Green during the spring and summer, along with oranges, yellows, and other colors that celebrate this time of year.

Most of all, I guess the reason is simply because my “absolute favorite color” changes, so I need to make sure I’m armed with every conceivable color – in and outside of the rainbow.

My color of the moment is Kiwi Green, as demonstrated beautifully by the Kiwi Green Teakettle above. I absolutely cannot get enough of this color. It’s vibrant, upbeat, and commands attention.  Gotta love that attitude.

Features:

  • Generous 2-quart steel teakettle capacity heats up to 8 cups of water
  • Solid stylish teakettle handle with one-touch spout lever for easy and comfortable operation
  • The bright enamel exterior is stain resistant and easy to clean; stainless steel lid fits tightly
  • The convenient teakettle whistling feature signals when water is at a boil
  • Lifetime Limited Warranty

This particular teakettle is also available in Stainless Steel and a gorgeous Capri Turquoise that looks promising for the next color I get obsessed with. Click through Kiwi Green Teakettle to check out each color available.

Doctor Who Tardis Teapot

I have a confession to make – I have never seen a single episode of the insanely popular Doctor Who. As far as I’m concerned, I have no idea WHO Doctor WHO is! And yet… I am so in love with this adorable Doctor Who Tardis Teapot, I’m beside myself.

This beautiful collector’s item is fashioned after the time machine in the BBC TV show Doctor Who.

Wait? Time machine? What have I been missing?!?!

See Doctor Who Tardis Teapot for more information while I go look into catching up on Netflix!
