I bought my first Bosch kettle years and years ago (I don't remember when). But I took early retirement 10 years ago and it was pre that. I drink coffee all day and I also brew beer as a hobby - so the kettle is used for quick heating for disinfecting etc. I also use it when cooking, cleaning etc.
The point being: its had a phenomenal amount of use and i started wondering a few years ago when it would finally give up the ghost. It still works fine - just a tiny leak from the plastic strip on the side, which I could probably seal, but I thought, no, another Bosch! (other retirees take cruises, I thrill to kettles). The old one is backup now.
Its pricey, but its a Rolls Royce of kettles - a pleasure to handle, the new features re. temp control brilliant (and very usable re. brewing, cooking etc - multi purpose, not just for a gallon of coffee a day - and yes, I do prefer instant to machine).
I just got it so maybe the durability 5 stars is a little premature but there's every chance its the last kettle I buy - i.e. it'll outlast me - , so I thought I'd better report now. I am a 100% Bosch fan and if I'm looking for something, will buy the Bosch version if there is one. In my personal experience, everything they make has the durability of a cockroach (that's meant as a compliment).
