Product Description
Our Classic Teakettle rocketed to popularity when introduced 30 years ago. The accolades continue for this timeless Chantal original, sure to remain a design icon and home favorite for the foreseeable future. The immediately recognizable shape and characteristic stainless steel handle say it’s Chantal, and our copper version is truly breathtaking. Unlike many other copper kettles currently available in the market, our copper kettle will not need to have any lacquer removed before its first use. Featuring our exclusive two-tone harmonica whistle, this kettle doesn’t just whistle – it sings Like all our standard-size kettles, our copper classic teakettle boasts a functional capacity of 1.8 quarts. Chantal copper teakettles are perfect for all stove tops, INCLUDING magnetic induction. Includes FREE quilted mitt for your convenience. Limited warranty. Hand wash only with gentle soap, not dishwasher safe.Product Note: Just like a shiny new penny the copper finish on this kettle will naturally darken with time and use. Many people love the patina, but if you wish to restore a shinier finish try our simple homemade cleaning recipe: Dissolve 1 Tablespoon of salt in 1/4 cup of vinegar. Use a soft paper towel to apply the solution to a small area of the kettle and rinse quickly under running water. Continue until entire kettle is shiny. Pat dry with a soft paper towel. Founded in October 1971, Chantal Corporation is proud to be approaching 50 years of strength, determination and success. CEO and Founder, German-born Heida Thurlow, relocated to the United States in 1970 and soon began her entrepreneurial journey. Trained as an engineer, Ms. Thurlow has the distinction of being the first woman in the U.S. to launch and run a cookware company. She has received numerous design and utility patents for teakettle and cookware design and innovation. Chantal was the first to bring dramatic color, tempered glass lids and stay-cool handles to the kitchenware marketplace and continues to dedicate itself to the creation of innovative products that bring elegance to the home. Chantal products feature the healthiest cooking surfaces available today and we pledge to continually look for new innovations and manufacturing techniques which will be ideal for health conscious chefs.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers find the teakettle visually appealing with its plumish purple color and sparkling interior, while appreciating its dual harmonica sound and ability to brew perfect tea. The build quality receives mixed feedback, with some describing it as wonderfully made while others find it terrible. The heat level and functionality get mixed reviews - while it heats well with induction initially, the handle becomes extremely hot, and though it functions well, some find it not worth the price.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2025Color: SilverVerified PurchaseThis teakettle is the absolute best. Strong whistle, solid construction. This is the second one I’ve owned.
Nothing else compares. It’s beautiful as well with many color and metal options.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016Color: SilverVerified PurchaseThis is my first Chantal product. I researched a good tea kettle and based on the reviews and beautiful aesthetics I settled on this one. The only negative I have is that the item is advertised as brand new and the price reflects as such. It came inside an amazon box along with other items I ordered but the tea kettle had no other packaging other than a small tag attached via a chain. It looks new but it was definitely NOT NWT. I seriously doubt Chantal products are sold without ANY packaging. I kept the rating at 5 stars b/c this is most likely due to the seller and not the product quality.
That being said - I love this tea kettle! It looks great in our kitchen - black granite counter tops with stainless steel appliances. I have only used it 3x so far but the whistle sounds good and the water heated up fast enough for me. Cleaning it so far has been fine. The handles don't really get in the way - maybe if you have large arms and hands this could be an issue but I am 5'4" and have no problem getting my hand in there to clean it. It's a tight fit but manageable. I have to remember to move it when I am cooking - just to keep it free of cooking splatter etc. It is still shiny and a pretty addition to the kitchen. The capacity is perfect for me. I have a HiWare 50oz glass drip-free carafe (pitcher) I like to keep tea in and the capacity in this kettle is perfectly matched to my pitcher.
It feels of good quality and I feel like it will last a long time in our home. I hope the whistle lasts and does not have an issue other reviewers have of breaking. The finish is more of a brushed steel as opposed to a high polish - which is great b/c that helps keep it looking nicer longer.
I know I rely heavily on reviews. Please acknowledge if you found this review helpful Thank you.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021Color: Cobalt BlueVerified PurchaseThis is our second kettle. The first lasted many years. This lasted one month!
Serious concern is the flaking enamel glass that can be digested. Picture shows the various sizes. See other similar reviews reporting same problem. That is the first most important message.
Second- See the advertising claim: Premium "boiler" enamel lining provides extra durability for long-term performance. Long term must mean 2 months for this claim to be true!
Third - Customer support. The good news, they were very responsive - speed, but not satisfying in resolution.
Based on the default after one month, I expected a replacement. Chantal Corp Response on 21APRIL2021 postulated the cause as being thermal shock ("consistent with thermal shock"). Read: consistent with operator error, not manufacturing error! How could Chantal even come close to admitting a possible culpability in hazardous especially in light of their advertising claim! For this operator, we still use the first kettle as we have for many years with no thermal shock issues.
Chantal did not address the rust. I suspect the enamel separated from the metal and corrosion aggravated the situation such that the enamel broke loose.
Warranty - They said that this was not covered by warranty. AND they would provide another one for ~$75! If this is possibly going to cause a hazardous condition due to operator error (thermal shock), why would anyone spend another dollar on this product? A kettle! What is there to warrant?? How about failure of the enamel?
Bottom line: The kettle is beautiful; the whistle is as advertised; the interior has dangerous issues; Chantal has a very courteous and quick response, but not satisfying. Buy this for show or as a flower pot. If one uses it, pour the liquid through a paper filter until they really determine the cause.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024Color: MarigoldVerified PurchaseI bought the kettle about 8 months ago and thought it’s one of the best that I have bought so far. Love the sleek look and soft color. It whistles when it gets to the boiling point which is a good thing.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Color: WhiteVerified PurchaseI like everything about this kettle except the whistle, which actually sounds like a very loud train whistle. It's well made, the lid fits snug and it boils fast. I bought it because it has an enameled interior instead of bare steel. Pours really well and the handle doesn't heat up, but I don't leave it on a warm burner after it boils, either. I've never had to use the little pot holder that comes with it. It's pretty easy to clean. It seems a little high priced compared to some other kettles but I think that is because of the brand quality. I recommend it for a nice little stove top kettle.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023Color: Glacier BlueVerified PurchaseI had one of these tea kettles for many years, and finally had an excuse to buy a new one when the spout flipper finally broke. I would not have thought it could be, but they actually improved the new model. The handle is a better shape, the pot is slightly bigger than the old one, the spout is a little longer. Got the soft blue which is a BEAUTIFUL color and lovely finish.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014Color: OnyxVerified PurchaseI had one of these for years, and then I broke it. I was devastated, because after years of owning it, I realized there was no better tea kettle. First it looks good. Second it is solid and the lid fits nicely. Third it is a perfect size; not too big, and not too small. Fourth the whistle really works. Fifth, because it has an enamel coating, the water never tastes like metal. And finally, it boils water quickly. I tried a few other kettles until I found the Chantal enamel on steel, and I can't tell you how unhappy I was with lessor quality kettles, and how happy I was to return to my favorite kettle. I boil water every afternoon for tea, and the Chantal classic tea kettle is perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars スタイリッシュで機能も一級
Color: OnyxVerified Purchase内部コーティングの剥離が始まったため、20年近く使ってきた先代を泣く泣く処分。某有名デザイナーのやかんを購入して、しばらく使ってみたものの、沸騰しても分からないは、注ぎ口からお湯をたれ流し続けるは、…で散々。使えば使うほど不満が募って、同型の色違いを買い直し。手元に届いたケトルを眺めてみて、このデザインが好きだったんだということに気づいた。そして何の加工もしてないように見える注ぎ口から一滴もお湯が垂れないのが凄い。笛の音も便利。並行輸入品ではあることを気にする方がいるかもしれないけれど、正規輸入品だった先代と比べての「差異」は「内部コーティングの仕方」くらいだと個人的には思っている。

4.0 out of 5 stars 可愛くてお気に入り。
Color: Chili RedVerified Purchaseもう少し容量が大きいケトルが欲しかったのですが、気に入る物がなくてずっと探していました。シャンタールの他の形にしようと思っていましたが、水がもれるとレビューに書いてあったので、やめて、こちらにしました。色も形も気に入りました。音もピーではなく、ファーといった感じ。今までのより少し大きい音で、初めは気になりましたが、2Fまでよく聞こえていいです。蓋があけにくいのでマイナス星1つです。熱い時に困ります。

3.0 out of 5 stars 中国製
Color: SilverVerified Purchase中国製が悪いというわけではありませんが、個人的な考えで中国製を避けて選んだつもりだったため、「やかんに一万円出して中国製かぁ〜〜〜(><)」とショックでした。
私と同じショックを味わう方が出ないよう、レビューを書かせていただきました。
見た目の美しさや機能に問題はありません。☆5つでも良いくらい気に入ってはいます。
ハーモニカ風の音も高級感があって好きです。何度もお湯をわかしたくなってしまいます。
