5.0 out of 5 stars Good pouring/electric kettle, December 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Bonavita 1.0L Electric Kettle BV3825B������������� (Kitchen)
First of all, this is the ONLY pouring kettle I could find that is also an electric kettle, which is a great combination if you are in the market for both. The price ($50) seems fair as the competing pouring kettles cost about the same or more, all of which are non-electric.

The kettle seems to be well built and looks nice. I got this kettle for making coffee in a Hario v60 manual pour-over brewer, and it does the job well: the thin gooseneck spout lets you do a steady controlled pour. It's not as big as the picture makes it look, I think it's just the right size.

So at this point I can recommend this kettle. It remains to be seen how durable it is, I am going to update my review in a couple of months to reflect that aspect.

Update 01/12/12
So, another point I would like to mention is that the bottom of the kettle is flat, the heating element is hidden, so it is quite easy to clean. Also, I have found that it is very convenient to use this kettle... Read more

I really didn't think that how you pour water into a coffee maker such as a Chemex, or other manual funnel method, would make a difference. Well, I was wrong. I had been using a tea kettle to both heat and pour water, but the pour-rate was hard to control. With the Bonavita, that is no longer the case.

Just this morning, I made a Chemex pot of some freshly roasted Guatemalan Finca la Providencia (Taraccino Coffee in Minneapolis... cool place to get some great coffee), and with the Bonavita, a steady stream of water was EASY to do. And the result was an incredible brewed coffee. Though the flavor profile has much to do with the brewing method, that brewing method is greatly affected by the pour. The Guat has never had the depth it did this morning. Amazing cup that really did surprise me. The body rivaled that of my vac-pot brewer. I'm a convert to this style of pouring spout. Really makes the slow-pour that much easier to do, and control.

Now for another... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Kettle Especially for Manually Brewing Cofffee, January 29, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Bonavita 1.0L Electric Kettle BV3825B������������� (Kitchen)
The thing that sets this kettle apart from most electric kettles is the spout. The slim spout allows for accurate, steady pouring for tea, coffee, etc.

I wasn't sure I'd like the handle, but it is actually designed really well for ergonomics. The weight of the water is balanced properly when holding the handle, so it's functionally great. I still don't like the look of the handle, and it is plastic as opposed to stainless steel. But they're putting the money where it needs to go, so at the price, this kettle is great!

The kettle does heat up quickly (3-4 minutes) which compares well to other kettles. For manually brewing pourover coffee, this kettle is fantastic. If you're a coffee shop doing manual pourovers, the size will be a limiting factor.

The lid fits securely (unlike its Hario competitor).

The base is simple with a cord wrap and about a 3 foot cord.

The metal is appropriately thick (it's not heavy duty, but it is... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a tea kettle that works!, December 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: KRUPS BW3990 Prelude Electric Kettle with Blue Lighting Water Level Indicator and Stainless Steel, Silver (Kitchen)
I have waited more than 3 months to review this tea kettle because I have bought so many in the past and written a rave review after just a couple weeks, only to have it break on me shortly thereafter. In fact, I'm still a bit afraid that if I write this review I will jinx my good luck with this tea kettle.

I bought the Krups kettle because of it's name, because I've heard that Krups products are good quality. It was a bit more expensive than other tea kettles out there, but after having bought 3 cheap ones in the past couple years that have broken down on me, I decided it was worth it to spend a bit more.

The design of the Krups kettle is pretty slick and it works very well. I've had problems in the past with the pop-up lid breaking, but this one has a nice smooth design that seems impossible to break. You can see the water levels through the semi-transparent blue and it has a nice swivel base. The water boils quickly, just as one would hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick to the boil, November 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: KRUPS BW3990 Prelude Electric Kettle with Blue Lighting Water Level Indicator and Stainless Steel, Silver (Kitchen)
Have been using this kettle for about six weeks now and we are very pleased with it. The appearance is nicely finished and the blue light effect when heating is appealing. It has enough capacity to fill a 10 cup teapot and pours nicely without spilling. More importantly, it is quick to bring water to a rolling boil and quiet. Definitely worth the slight premium price over other products.

We bought this kettle because of the Krups name and we liked how it looked. We had it for about 2 weeks and the top started rusting. A kettle to boil water and the top was rusting?!! We sent it back.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cannot manually shut off. Lengthy reset time., March 2, 2011
By 
Having used a basic Black and Decker for the last 7 years, this Bodum - though cute - is quite irritating to deal with. I liked the size and the aesthetic appeal, but it has proven to be too quirky for my daily use.

First, the unit cannot be manually shut off. So when I want hot, but not boiling water, I can take it off of the base but once the pitcher has been replaced, the unit will continue to boil what is remaining in the pitcher. A huge waste of energy.

Second, if I want more than the small pitcher's worth of water to be boiled, the unit will not allow me to immediately boil a new batch of water. It has to stand and cool down for a lengthy period of time before it will allow another boil. This is in the unit's manual, but seems an unnecessary and annoying feature having spent 7 years with a kettle that allows immediate reuse.

3.0 out of 5 stars Know it's limitations, July 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Bodum Bistro 17-Ounce Mini Cordless Electric Water Kettle, Black (Kitchen)
When I first got this I was very pleased with the looks and it boiled water fine. Then after I was done I set it back on its base to gaze at it's beauty. Then the LED lit up to signal it had tuned itself back on. It realized there was water present and turned off, only to come back on a few minutes later. The outside of the kettle was getting very hot while that was happening.

The problem was that I had removed the kettle from the base when the water started to boil instead of waiting for the kettle to first switch itself off. This is a really annoying aspect of this kettle. The ON switch should be a ON/OFF switch. You HAVE to let the kettle boil and in turn reset it's ON button. If you place it on the base without water in it with the ON button pressed in it will not reset the button. It just turns the LED on and off every couple minutes or so. Then it gets extremely hot to the touch. It's really the perfect size for my desk though so I will deal with the quirks... Read more

I purchased this small kettle for occasional use while traveling. It fits nicely in my carry-on size suitcase. So far it has endured airport baggage handlers on two trips. It is a simple device that meets my need for small size over functionality.

For home use I really like the Breville SK500XL Ikon that my wife purchased from Amazon about a year ago. We use it almost daily.
