Every time after the water boil, it always has some dregs at the bottom of the kettle, i think some of metal inside of kettle? i am afraid it not good

It's probably mineral deposits from the water. You should be able to clean most of it out. Mine does the same thing, and after cleaning, the metal looks just fine.

Its very unlikely to be metal. It's probably just limescale - especially if you live in an area that has particularly hard water.It's just a residue left by minerals in the water. Just rinse it out from time to time.The filter inside the spout of the kettle is designed to stop those bits of limescale from getting into your cup.

If you're not using filtered water, it could be little white calcified flakes (lime scale) from the water. I used to get that when I used tap water. Nasty feeling if you accidentally get them in tea and swallow them. If you think this is the problem, add vinegar and boil it, then wash thoroughly; ideal if you only use filtered water after that (makes better tea/coffee anyway).

It might be hard water deposits. Just rinse it out or wipe down inside to remove it.

I tested this with a magnet. The bottom and body are ferromagnetic (contain iron and are likely steel). The spout and top are not ferromagnetic and are therefore made of some metal other than steel. The kettle is not heavy enough and too shiny to contain any cast iron. The steel components are likely stainless, not cast iron.

Destroying?How so? I have stainless steel kettles, it has "scorched" it a bit but that's to be expected. If you have an aluminum pot, it might tear through it.

None that I know of. We have very good water in our area and I would suspect if there was any small flakes it could be from the boiling of the water. I have used this teapot a lot and really love it.

The coil itself does not get "gunked up" with stove splatters except in the most extreme incidence. I have owned three such kettles at different homes and have given many as gifts. I first saw one at my beloved friend's home, all-copper, which was easily 20 years old and in beautiful condition at the time. Basically, wipe down everything after you cook and everything stays nicer.

Yes. The bottom of the kettle is covered with a smooth metal. This is about as little metal I have been able to find in an electric kettle. The alternative is an all glass pot requiting a stove. It is a no frills unit that works great and is not hot to the touch on the outside (double wall...).

I also found rust on the inside bottom of the kettle. Not sure what you mean by never leaving extra water in the kettle - it's a kettle, and in my house, that means it's used a dozen times a day, if not more. There's NEVER a time when it doesn't have water in it, and quite honestly, that shouldn't make a whit of difference! I got rid of it with some steel wool, it didn't return, but it did make me question the overall quality. The on/off switch on mine failed after six months, so I replaced it. The manufacturer's help line was only open Mon-Fri 8am-4pm, which only strengthened my conviction that it wasn't a great product. I ended up replacing it with an Oster, which has an actual spout that you can pour from (another gripe I had with this model), as well as a water gauge, and a much better designed on/off switch.

I don't know about others, but for me, my kettle works well and I have not found any rust problem on it since I bought it month ago, I use it at least twice a day. Hope it will help you

Yes - the inside bottom of the kettle is flat, there are no visible heating elements (even though I believe they must be somewhere there in the bottom).

Vaguely written question, but I haven't had any weird water rings appear after boiling water for extended periods. This pot is truly stainless, and I've had absolutely no problems cleaning it, even with dried, crusted crap all over it. I think I'll be ordering some more Calphalon stuff soon. Very solid, I'm very happy with it.

We haven't had that problem. We used it for a couple of weeks before packing it away for my college-age son. It boils water faster than our other kettle and is easier to handle.

Hi,I have this kettle and the interior bottom of the pot is stainless steel. The walls are some type of thermo-plastic which is very tough and offers some insulation. It is super easy to clean and it opens wide enough so that I can get my hand inside to clean it. If you use tap water (rather than filtered water) you may have some mineral build up but that is easily removed with some vinegar.I've been very happy with this kettle.

Mine is the same way. We have hard water in this area so I figure the residue is left over minerals after the water is boiled away. I just wipe with a paper towel. It hasn't been a problem.

Hello there- I bought this great looking kettle about a year ago and I have had no problems. I care for it as the instructions tell me to. The inside is all stainless steel and according to my experiences, there is no leaching going on. To be honest, I am not sure how to tell if leaching was occurring. seems like great quality. Hope this helps :)

There are metal rings on the bottom that might be rough on your stove if that is your concern.

I had that but I boiled 3 seperate pots of water, filled to the top. After that it was fine. Love this pot, use almost everyday without tasting anything. Hope that helps!

The body is entirely plastic and has a metal element in the bottom of the pot. The element is not covered with anything and it corrodes from continual use. I had two of them and they both did the same thing. I would have metal shards floating in my drinks.
