Another One Bites the Dust

So. Another tea kettle just died in my kitchen. Alas.

I'd love advice/recommendations/experiences about what to buy or avoid next.

My preferences:

- I want to not have to manually lift anything off the spout to pour.

- I'd prefer but don't require a handle I can pick up without a pot holder

- It MUST continue to function/whistle even if it's boiled dry once or twice. (so no OXO brand)

- No bright colors!

Say on. (I think I'll cross-post this to the alumni reflector, as well.)
