According to our kettle expert
The exterior of the casing of the Tefal Safe to Touch KO3718 remains cool when heating up water, allowing you to always touch the kettle safely without burning your hands. With its 1.5-liter capacity, you can make a large pot of tea for everyone who joins you at the kitchen table in 1 go. If anyone is late, the kettle will keep the water hot for 30 minutes thanks to the double insulation layer. You can easily fill the kettle by pressing on the button on the lid. The kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection and a closed-off heating element.

Bought this Tefal based on the reviews on Coolblue. It's a nice device (perhaps a bit big) but disappointing in contrast to our old Philips Cucina:
For example, the Tefal makes much more noise during heating and it also takes longer. Apparently a metal housing and flat bottom has its drawbacks. The flat bottom has the advantage that the minimum water level is lower.
This brings me to the disadvantage that a lot of limescale quickly forms on the bottom and the poorly closing lime filter does not prevent it from ending up in your tea glass. Shame, poorly designed this.
In addition, heating with the same amount of water really takes longer (perhaps the lack of a heating spiral is the problem here too). The pouring afterwards is still clumsy after 2 months (I mess regularly) because the spout is shaped in such a way that it goes with an arc. To make matters worse, I regularly burn my fingers on the hot steam while pouring.
Ergo: a beautifully designed device, but definitely less convenient to use than expected.

Product suits very well. Only the noise level is a bit high. The water boils quickly and is well filtered.

The Tefal Safe to Touch does what it was made for: boiling water without a problem. The reliability of the lid and the filter in the spout are downright weak. When closing the lid you occasionally have to help because the spring does not lock. It's a shame that those 2 details don't match the otherwise luxurious look of the kettle. Because we don't use it intensively, we can live with that.
