Living with Vision Impairment Changes How You Navigate the Everyday
In Ireland, over 296,000 people are living with some type of visual impairment – from reduced contrast sensitivity and tunnel vision to total blindness. Simple kitchen tasks like pouring hot water or carrying a full cup can become risky without the right support, especially when you’re replying on touch and muscle memory more than sight.
Whether you’re adjusting to new vision changes or have lived with sight loss for years, the right tools – like our easy pour kettle, non-slip mat, Muggi and Liquid Level Indicator – help you stay safe and confident in the kitchen.
No spills, no strain, just independence in every cup.

“I have AMD, since losing most of my vision, the kitchen started to feel unsafe”
“With hot water, spills, burns and scald risks, I tried to avoid it as much as I could. The Kettle made things feel more manageable again. Add the Liquid Level and I know exactly what I’m at. I make tea without worrying. It might seem small, but it gives me huge peace of mind.”-Helen, Galway

Frequently Asked Questions:
Vision Impairment Support
Can I fill the Uccello Kettle if I can’t clearly see the spout or water level?
Yes. The Uccello Kettle is designed for ease by touch. When filling you can leave it in the base, tap the button on the lid (it’s on a hinge so it will stay open for you) and fill it with a cup.
The kettle holds 6 cups (average sized cups) so you always know where you stand. Then, simply tap the lid closed.
How does the Kettle and Mat help if I rely on touch more than sight?
Our kettle tilts without needing to lift or judge distance, the Grip Mat helps you position your cup by feel. Simply place the mat up to the kettles front feet. Then feel in towards the smooth centre ring of the mat (there are tactile dots on the outer rings of the mat). Once your cup is in the smooth centre ring, you will always have a safe and steady pour.
Alternatively, if you do not wish to use the mat, we would recommend that you have your cup close to the kettle (handle facing the kettle base, less than an inch away) and this too is a good cup guide for you when pouring from the Uccello Kettle.
How do I know when to stop pouring without causing a spill or burn?
This is where the Liquid Level Indicator comes in. Hook it onto your cup, when the liquid reached the lower prongs the device will beep and vibrate to let you know that your cup is near full.
When the liquid then reaches the highest prong, the device with beep and vibrate more intensely to let you know to stop pouring and that the cup is full.
How do you store the Liquid Level Indicator?
The Liquid Level Indicator has a magnet on the front so it can be stored on any stainless steel appliance (Fridge or microwave). So you don’t have to worry about rummaging in a draw to find it each time.
