Anyone seen a Brita Kettle on sale here in Switzerland? I saw one in Manor some months ago but they now seem to have completely vanished. Even across the border in France/Germany I can find no trace of one. I'm beginning to think they have been withdrawn from the market?

They have indeed been withdrawn from sale in Switzerland

Why have they been withdrawn? I have one I bought from Coop years ago. If they are not safe, then I'll stop using it. Or was it just not selling?

No idea, sorry

I just phoned Brita and asked why.

I also wanted one a few months ago and was slightly miffed I couldnt get one.
After reading the original post here ths morning I thought I'll call them !

I did, I asked why they'd been withdrawn but couldnt make any sense of the answer. . . . something about the partners they work with to produce the kettles.

I too have done a bit of groundwork if anyone is interested. It seems that they are no longer available in France, Germany or Switzerland, (or indeed any country that doesn't traditionally drink a lot of tea) but are still available (and with a wider range) in the UK. Looks like you can order one from their UK website but not yet tried it (You have to register first)

I just saw that it is advertised in the Volg supermarket magazine now. It said it is available in store. www.brita.ch

Whats so great about them ?

I bought the Princess model in Coop Dietlikon before Xmas, it uses the new filters that don't need rinsing beforehand, although filtering it itself has come under scrutiny in ktipp.

I don't know about kettles but I've never had a problem buying Brita jugs. They even sell them in Migros, about three models, older types and more modern ones too.

I may be late - but I think I just came accross one this morning at Wertkauf/Rheincenter in Friedlingen/Weil am Rhein. It's withing walking distance from the final stop of tram line 8 (Kleinhüningen)...
