OXO Brew Gooseneck Electric Kettle – Hot Water Kettle, Pour Over Coffee & Tea Kettle, Adjustable Temperature, Built-In Brew Timer, Stainless Steel, 1L​

Nice kettle with a digital thermostat. If you like to use the proper temperature for different drinks like pour over coffee and tea, which are not supposed to use boiling water, this works GREAT. I use it for pour over, an aero press, and tea. Coffee needs to bloom, so you do not pour the water all at once. This maintains the temperature setting to allow a slow pour, stop, put back on the heater, then pour again in a minute or two at the same temperature setting. The swan neck also allows directing the pour over a narrow area, which is perfect.

Update idk? A year in? I accidentally broke the spout while bringing it with me when visiting family. Unfortunately at this time there are no more in stock outside of Ebay Japan. I have since replaced this with a Govee gooseneck kettle, but honestly I miss this kettle all the time, to the point where I sometimes consider buying it off Ebay for $180+ (I think MSRP was $120 but I originally got this for $108 on sale). I am actually genuinely a bit sad about this every time I'm reminded of it. Anyway, it is a great kettle and very much no-nonsense. I feel this is probably the best you'll get before the ROI starts dwindling. Though I think a fair price for this would actually be closer to $100 than MSRP. ---------------- Update @6 months in: Still working well and heats up just as fast as the first day. I’ve found myself starting to prefer the handle over the Fellow EKG style so I guess it’s a whatever-you’re-used-to situation. Works well with tea but may be a *tad* slow for french press coffee. New use cases I’ve come across: + Boiling/preheating water from cold for cooking + Using remaining water to soak utensils and such to scrub off the harder bits of food + Same thing as above but for stainless steel pans + Exorcising my inner demons (jk) —— For context, I previously owned the Greater Goods gooseneck kettle, which was a very solid kettle and poured very well. My main reason for upgrading was that I wanted to have a kettle in my work office for midday decaf or the like. Additionally, the kettle poured too slowly for the Tetsu Kasuya technique with the Hario Mugen. No issues whatsoever—it pours well, heats up very fast, has large capacity, and has maintained temperature well. Things to note: + Compared to the GG kettle, this doesn’t pour as intuitively. That’s not to say it doesn’t pour well, the GG kettle just happens to be that good with regards to pouring + As many have stated, this kettle tends to pour fast. Many complain about it, but the way I see it is that one simply has to learn better technique/adjust. I’m not a barista by any means, but I am able to control the pour decently well imo, just takes practice and some mindfulness. A tip: if you want to pour more slowly, try tilting the kettle a bit—learned this with the GG kettle and it helps with controlling the flow. You can think of it like twisting a wine bottle as you finish pouring. + It is kind of noisy but not any more noisy than one would expect from any kettle really + While it is annoying how the base automatically turns on when you take the kettle off, I have not had any real issues with the base + Base knob is pretty satisfying to use imo. This is more on the subjective side, of course. Just feels smooth with tactile clicks (they’re silent) to me + Knob button clicks are also pretty nice to me—not loud and has a pleasing sound to it imo + Can’t evaluate the timer function or its accessibility as I use a scale with a timer + I definitely prefer the handle type you’d fine on a Stagg Fellow/GG kettle. That being said, it’s still quite comfortable to use, and it feels fairly balanced and intuitive. I like it, just not my first choice + The balancing of the handle makes the kettle feel lighter than you’d expect and easy to handle, but you still feel the weight of the water + The quaint aesthetic is pretty nice and fits in with most kitchens. Unless you have a more modern style kitchen and kitchenware, the kettle will look great and fit in nicely + The round base is quite a nice unexpected “upgrade” for me actually. It has a smaller footprint than the usual square bases and contains grooves underneath that allows you to route the wire such that it can come out about 30 degrees to the left, out the middle, or about 30 degrees to the right + A caveat to the previous point: the power cable is a bit annoying to keep in the base routes as it is quite stiff widthwise. Minor inconvenience at worst though + Base and kettle feel sturdy. I have no doubts the kettle will last. Can’t comment on the base longevity though as that is moreso a time-will-tell situation electronically Additional uses I didn’t think about till it popped up: + MREs + Theraflu + Sauce packets requiring boiling/hot water to thaw + Mac and cheese sauce packets whenever applicable + Portafilter rinsing Will update as time passes

It's still early days with the OXO Adjustable Pour-Over Kettle, but this product really checks off all the boxes for pour-over coffee enthusiasts. In fact, the packaging seems to be heavily marketed towards a specific coffee brewing purpose, even though there's a variety of other uses for a gooseneck kettle with regulated temperature. My previous setup for pour-over (I use Chemex, V60, and Kalita Wave at various times...kind of an addict) was a stovetop gooseneck or an electric Bodum kettle. In either case, I would need to use a thermometer to gauge temperature, or just boil it and hope it cools to about the 200-205 degree range when I needed it. It really was not an ideal solution for how often I do pour-over. So, I looked at some options like the Stagg EKG ($150 for the non-Bluetooth model), but as sexy as device is, it just seemed overpriced for something that could fail and fundamentally just needs to add water. Enter the OXO model, which has a street price of around $100.00. I actually really like the aesthetics of the design - particularly the base, which is a glossy black, compact enough to tuck into my coffee cabinet, and has a flat cord that wraps twice around the inside the base (good idea, OXO!). Even better, in reviews on YouTube and by the Seattle Coffee Gear demos, it seemed to perform as well or better than the Stagg, and actually operates at a higher wattage. I think it heats to a boil in about 3-5 minutes, though that obviously varies by water volume and starting temperature. Since the process of pour-over coffee is supposed to take around 3-4 minutes (still working on my grind size and timing), it can actually be quite a challenge to keep water at a specific temperature other than boiling for that full period of time. On the OXO kettle, you set the temperature, it beeps to alert you when the water is heated (appreciated), and then it will keep the water at the set temperature, provided you return it to the base within 60 seconds of removing it. There is also a simple kitchen timer accessible by long-pressing the "OXO" button - useful for timing your pours. The number display appears almost white in photographs, but is actually a light blue, and very easy to read. Two additional things I REALLY like about the OXO kettle that may not be readily apparent: (1) The last temperature you set it at saves on the device, even after you unplug it and plug it back in. HUGE. Some other units have "presets", and the OXO knob is a little too "fine" to turn all the way up from room temperature quickly, so this would have been a major annoyance to have to reset to 201 degrees, or whatever your preferred brew setting is. (2) The thermometer inside the kettle is very accurate and extremely fast. I try not to heat more water than I need, but sometimes, I realize during the process that I'm going to need more. I've even added cold water into the unit while it is heating (I'm sure OXO advises against this for various safety reasons, so I am NOT advocating this), and the thermometer instantly displays the cooler aggregate temperature. And I checked the final temperature with a good external thermometer and it seems accurate within a degree or so. I quick word on some of the negative reviews - this is always a concern, but it just seems like par for the course for this kind of product. All of the popular options (Bonavita, Stagg), as well as the cheaper regulated kettles, are littered with anecdotal complaints about leakage, rust, or failure of the heating components. It is impossible for me to know if those individual problems are due to bad units, misuse, or poor user maintenance. If I encounter any such issue, I would certainly update my score and review content. But the OXO unit does come with a 2-year warranty, and I feel like that is a reasonable period of time for any inherent product "defect" to show itself. For this type of kitchen product, I would be perfectly happy with a 5-10 year window of operation with regular use. The OXO Adjustable Temperature Electric Kettle heats water faster than most of its competitors, manages to stay relatively compact for storage, and has all the key features a pour-over enthusiast would want. Highly recommended.

We use this kettle daily for making tea and making French press coffee. Super convenient that the kettle will hold the water at the needed temperature while we get the French press or tea pot, or we can prepare multiple cups of tea in sequence and the last cup receives equally hot water as the first cup. The kettle spout pours nicely, we also use it when we want to be more precise in measuring out water by slowly pouring from the kettle (hot or cold) into a cup that has been placed on a digital kitchen scale, to get exactly 60 g or 120 g, for example.

I bought this kettle after reviewing several other similar electric variable temperature-controlled gooseneck kettles on the market (there are really only about 4 or 5 worth considering). My main purpose is to use it for daily pourover coffee brewing, in which both temperature control and precision pouring are important (but not necessary). It ended up replacing my other basic kitchen kettles (e.g. the big box store kind), and it has been an excellent daily driver. Great points: • Dial and button are very intuitive to use: turn the dial to temperature and push to start • Keep-warm feature is no-fuss, switches automatically and keeps temperature even after you remove and replace the kettle without any additional button pressing • Very quick to heat: 1L of filtered water from room temperature (22°C) to boil (100°C) took approximately 4:40; at more typical coffee brewing temperatures (90-95°C) the water will be heated somewhere between 4:00 and 4:30 - basically the same amount of time it will take to grind and set up your brewer for the morning. The speed of heating is due to the 1500W power draw, which is one of the highest for variable temperature kettles and comparable to many quick-boil devices. For comparison, you can calculate that a 1200W device will take about 6:00 to come to a boil from room temperature and a 1000W device will take about 7:15. Will those couple of minutes change your life? No, but you will encounter it every day and it does help if you're the impatient sort like me. • Built-in timer is easy to access and use, it counts up as a stopwatch would, perfectly suitable for timing your coffee pours - you won't find any way to adjust it to a countdown or anything more fancy than that Points of note: • The capacity is pretty much exactly 1L as advertised. Measuring 1L from a beaker and pouring into the kettle will reach just at the bottom of the "Max" fill line. Since this is a gooseneck kettle, it is not really possible to over-fill above the line, since pouring water much above the line will result in spilling over the top of the kettle spout and any water bubbling as it boils will likely cause boiling water to spill out (this is not a design flaw, as every gooseneck kettle will have this issue due to the physics at work). • The power draw at 1500W is not generally a problem if you have a proper household wiring system. Older houses with questionable circuits and less tolerant breakers will probably face some issues, particularly if this is plugged into the same outlet as, say, a microwave or a toaster oven operating at the same time. For most houses there shouldn't be a problem. This is an excellent device and is an improvement over other manufacturers' designs. It also conforms to OXO's industrial design sensibilities and is a decent looking addition to your countertop if you are into the classic brushed stainless steel look. Of course, the appearance is subjective, but the design is timeless with the simple dial and read-out without additional buttons. Definitely recommend.

Dangerous product. High risk of burning yourself. Hot steaming water comes out of gooseneck when boiling water. I added 350ml of water and started the kettle. Boiling was fast but I almost burned myself. I was lucky when I want not near the kettle the first time, I used it. When the water started boiling a steaming hot jet stream came out of the gooseneck. Do not even consider buying this product. It has a design defect and should be withdrawn fro the market immediately.

温度調整、保温などからこの機種を選びました。 デザインはとてもシンプル。 高級感があるわけでもないのですが、悪目立ちもせず我が家のキッチンに溶け込んでます。 機能は申し分ないのですが、蓋が固め…。

Soy principiante en el café de especialidad, pero sinceramente creo que es una excelente compra. Ya no prendo la estufa ni para hacerme un té. Lo que más me gustó es que trae un cronómetro incluido que es bastante útil para tener todo bajo control. La capacidad es de alrededor de 800 ml y los calienta en muy poco tiempo.

ケトルのデザインいいし操作方法もシンプルで使いやすい タイマーも同じボタンで操作するのでそこだけ使いにくいかな 壊れてもまた買いたい
