The Only Singing Kettle

Whistles "Tea for Two"

Tell your story

Live Beautifully

A new paragon in tea

Believe it or not, the 24T has its own miniature steam engine right under the lid. The kettle itself acts as the engine's boiler. When the water boils, steam pressure causes a piston to move back and forth, which in turn rotates a disc. A pattern of holes in the disc directs steam through tuned whistles in front of the handle. Presto! Your kettle plays "Tea for Two".

Hear 24T Whistle "Tea for Two"

A marvel of engineering

Invented centuries ago, the whistling tea kettle has been whistling the same old one note ever since. 

But now we bring you 24T, a whistling tea kettle that plays not just one note, or even a few notes. This dazzling new invention whistles an entire tune. Appropriately enough, the tune is "Tea For Two", one of the most beloved and popular songs of all time. ("Tea for Two" was written by Vincent Youmans and Irving Caesar in 1924 and is used in 24T). 

The happy tune of 24T puts a smile on your face every time you hear it. Kids want to dance. Old timers want to sing along. Everyone is tantalized by the question, "How does it work?"

Though simple in concept, the 24T steam engine is something of a technical breakthrough that took years of laboratory development.  It's an invention operating at low steam pressures and made possible by space-age materials invulnerable to moisture and high temperatures. 

For the first time stainless steel has been shaped in a series of concentric circles along a forward-moving axis.

Not just one note...

The “happy” kettle is a whistling boiler that plays not just one note, but the entire tune of “Tea for Two.”

A world first

It actually contains the world’s first all-plastic steam engine, a state of the art in plastic molding technology.

Buy it for design, boil it for pleasure

Most people when they buy the teakettle buy it for design. They leave it on top of their stove. People who buy the electric kettles (which have automatic shut-offs) are those that tend to let the stove kettle boil dry.

...and the Cordially Yours liqueur maker stands the heavy-gauge stainless-steel two-and-one-half-quart teakettle, which whistles "Tea for Two" when the water is boiling, and with it I make another small cup of the decaffeinated apple-cinnamon tea."
