As one of Alessi's best-selling objects worldwide, it has become part of popular culture by appearing in several films and TV shows such as Ghost and Star Trek. Designer Michael Graves Michael Graves (1934-2015) was an American architect and designer who had a significant impact in both fields. He rose to prominence as a leading figure in the postmodernist movement, challenging existing design principles with his unique aesthetic approach that often featured playful and visually striking elements. Graves' career spanned several decades, during which he received numerous awards and accolades. His work continues to inspire and shape the world of architecture and design.

Review: A fabulous buy! - Bought this kettle after hesitating initially because of the price - didn't think I could justify spending so much on a kettle. I have had the kettle for about a month now and not only is it well made & stylish it works like a dream. It heats up extremely quickly on my induction hob and looks just lovely! Just a couple of points to make... at first I thought the whistle wasn't working too well but I hadn't put the lid down fully on the kettle - it fits quite tightly and can be quite difficult to remove when filling. Not a problem for me but thought I would raise this point as it may be a problem for some. Also I bought the 'White Ivory Trim' model and it's worth pointing out that this is actually cream, perfect for my kitchen but if you are wanting a white trim it's definitely not white! That said, I am absolutely thrilled with it - hence the 5 stars. Review: Welcome addition - We just put in some wooden worktops and got fed up of power cables trailing. We used a hob kettle many years ago, so were happy to try again. Chose this one because it did not look too bulky, has a wide botton to catch the gas and heat up quickly and looked nice. In use have found it great. We have had it 4 months or more. We use it many times a day, sometimes just for 1 or 2 cups and it works well even with small amount of water. We live in hard water area, but only use 'filtered' water through charcoal and the kettle shows no signs of limescale due to this. The lid is a little tight on ours, but not a problem. The whistle is also tighter when warm/hot, and sometimes when inserting you have to flex the metal lips of the whistle when you insert it. Whistle work very well when its plugged in properly, otherwise gas escapes without going through whistle - which is same on any whistle kettle. Love it and would not go back to electric kettle. ## Features - Alessi - Made in Italy - Design - 200 cl size - Height: 22.5 cm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DSNM4E | | Best Sellers Rank | 189,170 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 191 in Stovetop Kettles | | Brand | Alessi | | Brand Name | Alessi | | Capacity | 2 litres | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | Italy | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 925 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08003299939404 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | 9093 B | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 24D x 24W x 25H centimetres | | Item Type Name | 9093 Stainless Steel Whistling Kettle | | Item Weight | 275 Grams | | Item weight | 275 Grams | | Lid Material | Stainless Steel | | Manufacture Year | 1985 | | Manufacturer | Alessi | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9093 B | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 9093 B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product dimensions | 24D x 24W x 25H centimetres | | Size | 2 Litres | | Style | Single | | Style Name | Single | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Whistling | Yes | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Alessi - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 275 Grams - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Style:** Single ## Images ![Alessi Stainless Steel Kettle with Handle and Small Bird-Shaped Whistle, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619bUd-p3KL.jpg) ![Alessi Stainless Steel Kettle with Handle and Small Bird-Shaped Whistle, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QTufcWw9L.jpg) ![Alessi Stainless Steel Kettle with Handle and Small Bird-Shaped Whistle, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rw8Hv5kmL.jpg) ![Alessi Stainless Steel Kettle with Handle and Small Bird-Shaped Whistle, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lWpOafShL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you get the whistle out of Alessi whistle tea pot to pour water - mine seems stuck!** A: If it seems stuck, just wiggle it and push in those little springs on the sides of the whistle... Try it with a potholder or towel, so you don't hurt your hand. **Q: is the alessi logo on the side of the pot as shown in some photos?** A: It's s label that comes off. No logo on pot. **Q: My kettle is making a hissing sound but no musical whistling when the water boils. Anyone else have this problem/find a solution?** A: I've experienced the same hiss-no-whistle with mine. I wonder if it is a chronic problem with these kettles. Handsome kettle AND expensive ... A whistle or even a tweet would be good. I hope someone might have insight to this. **Q: what grade of stainless steel is this?** A: The stainless steel is 18/10 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fabulous buy! *by J***W on 31 March 2012* Bought this kettle after hesitating initially because of the price - didn't think I could justify spending so much on a kettle.

Like other reviews, I had an issue with the bird whistle but Amazon were great in replacing it. The first one I received as a present and the whistle did not work. Amazon were quick to refund my account so I could get another without the gift-giver knowing about it. The second one worked fine. With the first one I think the lid was not sealing properly and the steam was escaping through the lid. Make sure the lid is snapped on firmly - you should hear it click. It is not a loud whistle and I think the level of water in the kettle makes a difference to how loud it is. I find it works best it you don't fill it much above the base of the spout. As to the complaints about it in other reviews - Don't leave it boiling for ages or the whistle will melt. Don't try to remove the whistle while the steam is coming out or you will burn yourself. Do remove the label first - it peels off easily, otherwise it will melt onto the kettle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alessi 9093 B - Design Kettle with Handle and Bird-Shaped Whistle, Stainless Steel and PA, Black - Tea Rex/Bird Kettle Whistles (Set of 2) by Alessi - Alessi Kettle, 9'' H x 8.5'' W x 8.5'' D, Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/50113791-alessi-stainless-steel-kettle-with-handle-and-small-bird-shaped](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/50113791-alessi-stainless-steel-kettle-with-handle-and-small-bird-shaped) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
