1L Digital Variable Temperature Gooseneck Electric Kettle for Coffee Brew and Tea Precise Pour Control, 6 Preset Temps, Café or Home Use, 1200 Watt, LED Panel, Stainless Steel

When we got an AeroPress in July 2018, we realized we needed a convenient way to heat the water to a specific temperature, since you should not be using boiling water for your AeroPress. I reviewed a number of adjustable temp kettles before deciding on this one. Specifically, I was looking for one with an easy to set temp that also remembered the previous setpoint. This one fit the bill, and we bought it a week after we bought the AeroPress. For over a year and a half, this has been cranking out hot water for us. Typically it is used twice each morning for coffee for my wife and I, who usually get up and moving at different times, and in the winter I use it considerably for making tea throughout the day. Turns out, maintaining the previous setpoint wasn't all that useful after all (though it still is nice), since my wife and I have settled on different temps for making coffee in the Aeropress. What is useful is the quick temps. With one button, it cycles through preset temps of 140, 176, 185, 190, 205, and 208 °F (or equivalent °C if in °C mode), and we've ended up using this almost exclusively. I brew coffee with the 176 °F setting, my wife uses 185 °F. Since you have to add water after you use the AeroPress (or milk/etc), I usually brew the coffee, then set the pot back on the base and tap the preset temp button several times to the 208 °F to top off my mug with really hot water, as I like hot drinks. So we typically are pressing this button numerous times per day, and they've obviously used quality buttons since it shows no signs of wearing out. The temp can be adjusted in 1 °F increments from the preset using the + and - buttons (and again, it always turns back on to the last used temp, whether that is a pre-set or custom temp). Adjustable range is 140 °F to 212 °F. Temp accuracy: If I put my meat thermometer right at the temp sensor, the thermometer reads ~2 °F higher than the kettle. Not a big deal, and explains why a roiling boil happens at a displayed 210 °F and it never reaches 212 °F. Hold button: By default, the pot shuts off when it reaches the set temp. Pressing "hold" will have the pot maintain the set temp for an hour before turning off. You can press hold as soon as you turn the pot on and it will climb to your set temp and hold. Great for turning the pot on and taking a shower, and it will be at just the right temp when you get back to it. Cleaning: They say to use only a "special" cleaner that they sell...go figure. Nah, I put half a pot of vinegar, half a pot of water, turn to the 208 °F preset and "hold" for an hour. When I get back to it all the calcium buildup is gone. Rinse with water and refill for your next use. Rust: I've seen people mention rust. One time I thought I saw signs of rust, but cleaning with vinegar removed it and I haven't seen it since. Maybe it was iron in the water or maybe something was growing. Not sure. Calcium: As with all pots used to boil hard water, calcium will build up on the bottom. This starts flaking off after some time, and with the spout going to the bottom of the pot any calcium flakes that break off will come right out of the spout immediately on pouring. This could be an issue depending on your point of view. If you don't like this, get a pot with a top-pour spout and this won't happen. Cleaning more often or using distilled water are two ways you can fix this. The other way is to just not drink your coffee/tea to the very bottom of your cup, i.e. don't tilt your cup "up" past horizontal and leave just a tad in the bottom and you won't accidentally "drink" these calcium bits. Other: The pot can swivel 360° on the base, and since it has a temp sensor in the pot the power and temp signals are transmitted through the use of a pin and 4 concentric rings of metal on bottom the pot that contact 5 spring loaded pins in the base (the power pins are recesses and cannot be touched on accident, plus the base will not supply power if the pot is missing). I have noticed (only occasionally) that something, I assume minor corrosion, will occasionally throw off the temp reading or recognizing that a pot is attached. Usually this seems to happen if you put the pot at a different angle then normal. If this happens, the fix is easy. With the pot fully lowered on the base, just swing it back and forth a few times until the temp display stops changing when the pot is rotated. Again, I've only noticed this once or twice. Could have just been a piece of dust or something got on a contact. Summary: Great pot, accurate temps, handy pre-sets, holds last temp in memory, reliable and long lasting. Will definitely order again if we need a replacement or if we want a dedicated one for our RV rather than taking this one with us.

I have had this for a couple years and it works great. It is very expensive, it was $99 when I bought it, but I used rewards points to buy it. A $10 kettle from Walmart works just as good, the biggest advantage this has is that you can control the temp. You can heat the water up to precisely 60c which wont burn my mouth. I use this setting for tea. I originally bought this kettle to make coffee, I watched all the youtube vids and they were doing the sales stuff that you need a gooseneck kettle to make the best coffee.... I stopped drinking coffee because I learned how unethical it is, and I get addicted to coffee and I end up having massive headaches from caffeine. Soooo. In reality I probably couldn've just gotten a cheap kettle and been fine, my mom had a cheap kettle from Walmart that I also love. This kettles main advantage is that you can control the temp. It also comes with an easy to clean plastic cover which I like. Overall this has been a good kettle. I leave water in it all the time and I haven't seen any rust yet so the stainless is of good enough quality (just because something says stainless doesn't mean they use a good stainless steel). Overall I have been happy with this kettle, because it has a spout it is on the fragile side, that spout does flex a little, so you can't be super rough with it, but I have moved and it survived the move with care.

I purchased this kettle when I first got into pour over coffee. I've used it for 10 months now, and so far it has worked flawlessly. It heats up unto 1 liter of water to temperatures of 212F or less and maintains a constant temperature for upto an hour. The heat up time is very quick - quicker than using a microwave for a similar volume of water, but the real convenience is the hold feature, which lets you set the water up to heat and go off and do other things. You can choose Centigrade or Fahrenheit and it will remember your selection. My pour over setup is simple - the filter holder from a Bonavita coffee machine placed over the carafe of a Bodum French Press. The spout of this kettle is very well designed to work with this or really any pour over setup. I have not bothered to buy a dedicated pour over kit, since this setup makes excellent coffee without adding other gadget to my kitchen. In 10 months of use, I have not had it rust, and I certainly do not empty or dry it after each use. And while its primary purpose is to make coffee, I am surprised at how many other uses we have found for it - heating water to boiling to prepare brown rice in the oven, for sterilizing the spoons, forks, and small strainer I use to make yogurt, preheating flasks we use to keep food warm in, making tea - these are just a few examples. For all these applications, the quick heat up time is very useful. About the only thing I'd wish they'd have done different would be to not have to press a "hold" button to maintain temperature; the way it is set up now, if you do not do that, it will heat up and once it hits set point, start to cool down again. It is a minor inconvenience in an otherwise very well designed and useful appliance. Update: About 14 months after purchase, the kettle started showing occasional random temperature jumps while heating. Even though out of warranty, I contacted Bonavita and they promptly shipped me a replacement.

Lovely little kettle. I love that I can set the temp and it will maintain it. Really cute sitting on the counter. A bit smaller than my other one but I knew that when I bought it. Worth the money for me.

Meine 2 Hauptkritikpunkte sind die Wertigkeit und die Genauigkeit der Temperatur. Die Wertigkeit wird dem Preis nicht gerecht. Das Produkt ist made in china und könnte rein vom Gefühl der Qualität her auch eine Fälschung sein, aber ich befürchte, es ist schon ein Original. Das Temperatur-Ziel wird es oft überschossen, was lästig ist, da 2-3°C bei pourover-Kaffee schon einen relevanten Unterschied machen können, wenn man ein bestimmtes Ziel anstrebt. Der Kessel wird mit einer Abdeckung für den Sockel geliefert, um diesen vor Wasser zu schätzen, das ist nicht hübsch, aber sehr sinnvoll und praktisch, gefällt mir. Ich werde ihn weiterbenutzen, bis er eines Tages kaputt geht oder ich einen Abnehmer finde... dann suche ich mir den Kessel mit der exaktesten Temperatur raus.

Perfect for all Chinese and Japanese tea preparation. Accurate and easy to operate temperature control. Just the right size. Boils quickly and quietly . Gongfu in my bonsai garden @tinytreeman

as I opened my coffee maker I see it's not working as I bought it before 3 months . now i need help to replace it. The kettle is burnt as soon as it was plugged into the socket. This is not A product or service one expects from amazon and it’s authorised sellers. I have also spoke and written a mail to bonavita company directly . I need help either to exchange this product or refund .

Excelente producto, tal como se describe, muy recomendable

プロご用達ということでコーヒードリップ用に購入してみました。 まずは、見た目に関しては高級感もあり海外メーカーらしいごつさもあるので、海外っぽさが好きな方やプロっぽい感じが好きな方はオススメなデザインです。私はごついの大好きです。 次に温度調整ですが基本動作を覚えればコーヒーは90度、お茶は80度と変更するのも簡単ですし、毎回同じ温度なら前回の温度を覚えているので、より便利です。ただプリセットされている温度が自分の使う温度と違うので変更できれば最高でした（もしかして変更できるのかもしれませんが）。あと個体差があるかもしれませんが少量だと温度コントロールが怪しいです。更に90度設定にすると80度ぐらいからカチカチ音がします（物凄く小さいですが）。両方とも個体差のような気もしますが、使用上問題がないので無視しています。あと湧き上がるまでの時間は同じ量でも日本のケトルより遅いと思いますし、沸き上がったときに音がないので気づかない事が多々あります。 次はドリップ時の重さ、持ちやすさですが、これに関しては多少重いですが、グリップの形と全体の重量バランスからとても使いやすいです。お湯の出る感じも非常になめらかで、ドリップがとてもやりやすいです。重さも含め絶妙な重量バランスをしているので、プロやカフェの現場で使われる理由が使ってみて納得できました。 総合的な評価は上記にも書きましたが、個体差なのか少量時の温度コントロールや80度以上でのカチカチ音が気になる以外はさすがの商品です。購入は並行輸入を選択したので1万円以下で買えたので価格以上に納得できました。並行輸入のリスクを考えても倍払って正規品を買う理由は無いと思います。唯一コンセントがアメリカ仕様でアースの棒が付いているので変換器はいりますが、安く色々なところで売っているので問題ありません。 コーヒーをドリップしている方なら一度使った方が良いと思います。重さがネックになる方もいるとは思いますが、良い道具を使う楽しみを味わえる一品です。
