this one out. It's a bit pricey, but it's the
only glass kettle I've found that has a nice long spout for great control over the pour. If pouring accuracy and aim is important to your style of brewing, then it's perfect. I love mine.
Metal attachment of the wood handle means it could not be used in a microwave.
Why would you put it in a microwave?!

Other *all* glass tea pots with 'heat resistent' (not sure if all 'tempered glass' is equal, suppose it also depends on thickness

The pots in your link are teapots for brewing, not kettles. Not all heat resistant glass is created equal at all. I personally wouldn't use any of those on an electric coil, or a gas range. Not sure about how they would fare in a microwave though.

Soooooo true.
Danger danger danger, I would not use a 'heat resistant' glass teapot as a kettle unless it specifically stated that it was safe for whatever heating medium you are using. I wouldn't recommend microwaving your water though, esp in a kettle thats kinda funny to me
. Kinda defeats purpose of it being a kettle doesn't it?
