Oxo pour over electric kettle is sold out everywhere or 3x the normal price. Its temp is accurate to 10F. what should I do?
>Fellow Staff EKG Pro
Hipster, overpriced, build quality issues
>Cuisinart CPK17C
beeps louder than a fire alarm and can't be disabled
>brewista artisan
loses temp too quickly, reports of paint chipping

All I want is:
- electric kettle with temp control
- stainless steel and glass wherever possible, no plastic
- gooseneck design

What does /ck/ use?

stovetop one that whistles

Sounds good for the apocalypse but it isn't as efficient, fast, or as safe as an electric unfortunately
>>
Bonavita 1L
I actually gave mine away because I realized I needed my kettle to dump massive amounts of boiling water fast, but it's great if you're a pourover fag. Has digital temp control for all types of coffees and teas.

>>21679744
This looks reasonably priced, based.

the cheapest one from a brand you recognize
t. euro

Chefman is like $20
It's glass and has a blue light so it looks cool

Came here to rec this. I've gone through several in the past decade of very heavy daily use, and each kettle lasted until the physical components wore out- no electronics failures or planned obsolescence shit. They're pricier than they used to be but still an excellent deal for the quality. I've been tempted at times to "upgrade" to a Stagg but really dislike that they're 0.9L and not a full liter.

>>21679722
i have the hario one, no complains
it is fairly expensive though

>>21679722
kitchen aid make the goat kettle
the one with variable temperature
>>
>>21679722
Are you in North America? You should clarify because the options are going to be different. The 120V mains electricity means the kettle won't work as well as one in a European country.
>>
>>21680980
you can still get a 2kw kettle in america
>>
>>21680980
Canada, yup.
>>
>>21680619
i have one as well. its well worth the price imho, especially if you are into temp sensitive stuff
>>
Are those chinese stagg knockoffs worth it? I regularly see them for around 60 CAD. Should I just spend the extra and get a Cuisinart or Hario?

For me it's Alessi 9091 and it's melodic whistle that reproduces the notes mi and si
Designed by none other than the great Richard Sapper.

Stovetop kettle is faster on induction than my electric one that is not used anymore. 400v vs 220v
>>
Had a stagg ekg for like 7 years now. No issues.

>$200 for a kettle
damn, the whistle can be a little harsh on mine, but I think I'm fine with that

>>21681201
Thinking about the Corvo EKG Pro since I drink tea, ramen, and could use the pre boil feature to sanitize water for medical purposes (chronic nosebleeds). I read about how awful the temperature sensor can be (you take the pot off, cool it down, then put it back on and it still reads a high temp). Does your paint peel or chip?
>>21681091
I'd also like to know this
>hario
original gooseneck design but hasn't innovated.. loudest kettle which rattles when it boils. Also needs a transformer. This is the one time where I wouldn't buy Japanese.
>>21681124
Looks pretty but that whistle really does sound like a GTA NPC which was shot while driving and is slumped over the car horn

I heard it has the most accurate temperature control.

I know, Reddit but still, this review put me off from considering it
>>
>>21681758
>made in China
Hmmm... Are there any electric Buenos made in Japan? Are they all from China?
>>
>>21679722
they scale up pretty bad so be sure to wash whatever you get with some vinegar every couple of months
>>
>>21681795
A household water softener is well worth it.

>>21681795
I used a big bag of citric acid powder for the water distiller at work and it worked wonders

I've been using the bonavita electric gooseneck kettle for 10 years with minimal problems.
>>
>>21679735
I just use a saucepan, don't need another appliance taking up space.
>>
Cheat. Run a new 240v plug off your stove mains and buy the EU version of the American product you want. Your water will boil in half the time.

I use the Xiaomi Electric Kettle.
It has exact temperature control built right into the handle.
For example I can set it to 80C for tea and it gets to exactly this temperature. Then it keeps it at this temperature until I actually pick up the kettle. So if I start the kettle, then pick it up an hour later because I get distracted, it's still 80C.
You can make your own preset temperatures, I use 80C and 90C, and there's another button for boiling (100C).
Inside is stainless steel, outside is modern (fits my kitchen well).
No gooseneck design, but desu I prefer that because it uses less space.

Ascot kettle looks nice if you don't need temp control. Its primary feature is complete steel interior, even including the lid which is rare.
