If I've got my dimensions right I think this should fit snugly inside a 12cm Zebra Billy?! (Minus the bowl which I don't use anyway.)

Does anyone know if this is true?? If do this becomes an immediate positive for me.

Does anyone own a 12cm Zebra Billy and a MKettle?? I would really like to know if this true!

Great review! I really like the fact you can hold it and pour the hat water, I think a lip on the pourer would be a nice mod and the afore mentioned chain / wire / cord on the bung.

Whats it like for stability though, It looks like it could fall over fairly easily?

I wonder if the maker would consider a passaround?

ATB, Jon.

I got this email in my mailbox when I was away for the weekend (reproduced on the senders blog) - http://www.theboilerwerks.com/2010/10/the-boilerwerks-back-from-the-wilderness/

Whoever is making these has ripped the design off the chap in the link. On one hand I think it's a bit off but on the other if the chap didn't protect his design, put it on the internet and took an age to bring it to market then it's not surprising.

Just thought I'd throw it out there :)

Whoa. I read this thread on that US linked site. I'm not drawing any conclusions and I'm certainly not casting any aspersions. Beyond simply not buying one from the UK source out of simple respect for the work that guy put into the (obviously very, very similar) design! Chris

to be honest - from what I've been told he came up with the design himself. All of these are very similar. Both of the small ones look like min versions of the Kiwi Thermette.

My first though when I saw it was -- oh a shrunken Thermette without the handles:

http://www.thermette.com/

This basic design has been around for generations in varying guises -- only the size and minor details differ. Very likely 2 or more poeple would come up wit ha similar idea.
