Just imagine a magnesium kettle...

The attraction to me of a copper copper is that it would look freaking awesome all shiny. Old and scummy though, I just think of one of those crusty old copper wood buckets that used to sit by a fireplace somewhere. To reiterate though, I do love the idea of a copper copper.

As for the inside, it won't look so attractive after you have an epic brew day, leave the dregs of the last brew in the kettle for a day or so, give it a hasty rinse then forget about it for a week. Happens to me all the time.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I have no problem with the concept of a copper kettle but think they'd be high maintenance. And I'd make myself a 60/40 split in your shoes
