This kettle is for the minimalist. Its sleek, stainless steel look is less ornate (read: flashy) than some of the others on our list, and will keep your counter top from looking too overwhelming. Still, it’s far from boring, with its polished mirror finish and, our favorite part, the adorable bird whistle on the spout.
