#1 – Medelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle
Medelco Inc was a family owned and operated business founded in 1976, primarily producing medical electronics. When one of its distributors closed up shop in 1981, it gave Medelco patent rights for the universal coffee carafe. Now, the company manufactures a lab-quality, thermal-shock resistant whistling kettle made of Borosilicate glass. It has a 12-cup capacity, removable lid, drip-free spout, and metal heat diffuser for electric range coil use.
