Does the tea stain the kettle? Is it easy to clean the inside if tea stains it?

the tea stains the tea infuser badly! but the pot is easy to keep clean. I really don't see a way around this without strong chemicals that will leave a bad taste. The stain only looks bad but it shows you use the Tea maker and it isn't just an ornament. That's what it's for right? It does not affect the taste of future teas.

No, because it is glass. It is very easy to clean, I usually use baking soda to scrub the inside because it doesn't scratch and freshens the pot. I love my tea kettle.

I didn't have that long. I think it was about 6 mos. It burned out, I replaced with a Breville that cost 250.00. The glass would not stain, plastic basket might. I have several Krups appliciances and they are fine, but the pot didn't make it.

Hi, I only use the kettle to boil water, I do not use it for tea. Would recommend if you do use it for tea to periodically use vinegar to clean stains.

The glass itself does not stain. The metal bottom has an area of staining around the outside edge. It mostly scribe off with Bon ami The plastic baskets are darkly stained. Haven't tried to get it off.

Too early to tell, no stains so far but it would be quite easy to clean as the opening is plenty wide

I use this kettle for heating water only, so the need to do any type of deep cleaning is not needed. I love my Revere kettle and use it multiple times a day.

The interior is porcelain. The top is stainless. I read reviews about the handle getting too hot but I have not had that problem. The stainless steel top does however get very hot as you remove it, if you plan to put your tea bags into the teakettle. It is a very nice little teakettle and we'll worth the money.

I actually do leave water in it. I have had past tea kettles rust as well, but not this one. Not a speck of rust or any problems with it.

It's stainless so you can put juice in. Will have to use bottle brush to clean it afterwards to keep the stains away (same as tea stain).

I recently cleaned mine with CLR. No problem. The outside cleans up with soap and water. I "shine" the top with a microfiber towel. So far so good. (I love the look and operation of Chantal kettles but they are expensive and corrode around the nozzle. It was hard to remove the hard water deposits out of the Chantal brand if I didn't use CLR frequently.) This tea kettle is good for the money - not a brilliant whistle - rather weak, but the kettle functions well - heats up quickly. The handle is comfortable. I have the red - deep and pretty shade.

I've experienced very minimal staining of the clear part after over a year of nearly daily use. Sometimes I'm lazy about rinsing it out right away, which I'm sure is why. The filter portion on mine has not stained. If you want to take the leaves out, you'd be better off just pouring it into a different container. I usually drink my tea fast enough, I don't have issues with over brewing. Overall, yes, I like it and am happy I bought it.

I believe it is enamel on the inside as well, but it is black. It is really easy to clean on the inside. It is easy to clean outside as well. I really have enjoyed the teapot. You only must be very careful not to drop it as it will chip.

I have had mine for about 7 months so far and do keep water inside of it when not in use. There has been no issues with rust thus far, and I just checked the interior of the kettle.

Yes, dishwasher safe. Eventually it can stain inside from tea or coffee. That you will have to scrub.

I haven't noticed any of these problems, at least not yet, I've had it since December and use it weekly or so. It did say the kettle may rust in the instructions that came with it, but that should not effect it's performance.

They are black on the inside so you see no stains. I do use mine mostly for water though and occasionally tea. Have no problems with anything regarding stains.

I put mine through the dishwasher every so often and it comes out like new. I do use milk in both coffee and tea, hence little problem of staining.

Yes, I've spilled coffee on the inside and it hasn't stained or left a lingering smell. The outside material easily cleans off liquids/spills.

Yes, but the down side of this kettle is that the spout is the only opening; for filling and for cleaning. So to fill the kettle one would have to press the lever to open the spout and stand there while it fills. No easy way to clean the interior. I returned mine.

I use to spot clean our tea set with baking soda mixed with a little water. I dipped Qtips in the mixture and wiped the pot and cups clean. All tea stains just lift right off.

Never have needed to clean it. This is a GREAT tea pot. It's my second one. Very expensive but worth every penny. It's copper inside so it heats up fast. Just don't let it stay boiling for too long because the steam will actually melt the black plastic handle on the top.
