Readouts in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Built-in stopwatch to time steeps and a 60-minute hold mode to keep the pot hot. Made of 304 stainless steel with a plastic base. Comes with 2.5 ft cord.

Alessi Pito Kettle

The Italian design workshop Alessi commissioned a series of teakettles late in the 20th century, and perhaps the most striking was the Pito, designed by iconic architect Frank Gehry in 1992. The visual is of a wave, made from mirror-polished steel, with leaping mahogany fish atop it. This might be the ultimate Father’s Day gift for the man who loves both tea and functional art.

MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Checked Kettle

If Pops is more of a tea traditionalist, he will likely fancy the black-and-white appeal of the Courtly Check kettle. It’s made of heavy-gauge steel and hand-painted with ceramic glaze. At a 3-quart size, he can brew tea for the whole clan if needed.
