Once I fill the kettle with water (34 oz), I turn it on by clicking the button on the top of the handle. The water begins to simmer and then boil in a little over 5 minutes. The kettle automatically shuts off with a soft click. I don't find the sounds offensive. There are two soft clicks and a soft sounding hissing sound that lets me know that the water is being heated. I love the kettle for boiling water when making French press coffee, Jello, tea, etc., and rinsing down my sink. There is no comparison to a whistling tea kettle perched on your stove! This kettle will not wake a sleeping baby.

Q: Is it easy to clean? How do you clean it if the lid does not come off and hard to fill; going by comments made.

Foiks, you can remove the lid to clean it. All you need to do is depress the sides slightly. The lid is held in place by plastic pins that fit into the slots on the side, and by clamping the body with one hand between the spout and the handle it makes this easy. Kind of like putting a roll of toilet paper on a toilet paper holder. Easy stuff.

Q: Is the interior of the pot plastic or metal?

The interior is NOT plastic. It is borosilicate glass. Nothing that touches the water is plastic. Other responding are incorrect.

Q: Does anybody else have problems with removing the filter? The filter in my brand new Bodum doesn't appear to come out. What can I do now?

You can remove it. I had the exact same issue, thinking “great, can’t clean it.. lid and filter don’t come off”. While the lid definitely doesn’t — major issue! The filter will pop out if you pull a bit harder than you are comfortable. You think you’ll break it, but it’ll just pop out. Try heating water so it’s all warm and gives easier..though not necessary. And then pinch with thumb and index finger. Wiggle it a little and start pulling directly upwards. There nothing latching it on, so there’s nothing that will break. Though if you do this at an angle, a small holder hook could break eventually, so pull straight up. Definitely a terrible design! Older Bodum Ibis was far better.
