The original British handmade kettle
Newey & Bloomer Ltd was founded by Frederick Bloomer and Charles H Newey in 1850. They began by manufacturing an assortment of barbershop fittings, bar tops, and bed warming pans. Using their expertise in copper, Frederick and Charles produced their very first kettle in 1903.
They called it the Simplex Kettle.

Traditional Copper
We select only the purest and finest copper and brass and spin by hand the traditional shape and ensure the center seam is in the middle of the kettle – just as it was in 1903 - thus giving strength and stability to the kettle.

Mirrored Chrome
Our kettles are lined by hand in the age-old tradition using hot molten tin creating a far superior bond with the copper than modern-day electro-tin plating techniques which can flake and expose the water to copper.
Genuine Simplex
Newey & Bloomer, established in 1850 first designed the Simplex tea kettle in 1903. Like many quintessential, leading brands, we are somewhat flattered that some companies try to copy what we do.
However, we are passionate and committed to ensuring that you are not misled and supplied with anything other than an authentic, handmade Simplex tea kettle from Newey & Bloomer, the original British manufacturer and the only company authorised to use the Simplex international trademark.
The longevity and timelessness of these kettles
means this investment is something that will stay
in your kitchen for generations. The signature
birdsmouth spout delivers a perfect pour every
time and is perfect for making pour over coffee as
well as topping up the teapot.
Taking over a month to produce, each tea kettle is
made from the highest grade copper. The
Simplex Highgrove No. 1 kettle has a natural
beauty, radiating warm, rich and opulent tones of
highly-polished natural copper and will take centre
stage in any kitchen. Only available in copper.

stoves in an era when there was little stove-top
