OXO Gooseneck Electric Kettle, Adjustable Temperature

+The dial interface works fantastic.
+There are small touches of great design like the way the cord wraps under the plate and can come out different sides, how when you lift the kettle there is a guide on the plate for all drinks/temperatures (genius!).
+Temperatures seem accurate
+Heats really fast. Like I grind my coffee, pour my daughter her cereal and beep!
+ Said beep is not obnoxious (I’m someone who turned off all sound to my microwave)
+ Keeps water warm effortlessly
+ Great pour
+ Lid and handle function perfectly
+ Compact and good looking

– Price
– Count up timer is a huge missed opportunity as worthless to me. Who stands and stares at their kettle for four minutes?! They must be better at multitasking, for me the whole point is I need a reminder when its done.
– The keep warm feature can be awkward if you have an empty kettle and just want to put it back on the plate. You get used to eventually.
– at this price, engraving a few measurements on the inner wall of the kettle would be awesome and save time.
– Bulky black cord sticks way out from wall socket. I would have preferred an elbow style plug.

I suspect that the oxidation people are seeing is coming from their water and a lack of descaling but time will tell. [UPDATE:] It’s definitely from users using tap water. Don’t use tap water, it also ruins the taste of your coffee/tea. Use distilled. My pot looks brand new and I almost never wash it. When I’m done I pour out any extra water, put it back (make sure its off!), wipe the lid and leave the lid cracked for evaporation.

This kettle is great. It pours fast enough to use for tea and it gives plenty of control for a pour over.
The handle is at a good angle, it has a silicone cove that does not get hot and gives really good grip in your hand. The lid also has a silicone handle so you can remove it when the kettle is hot with no issues.

The base is super easy to use. You can set the temp you want and press a button to start it, not complicated at all and it stays hot for 30min if you do not cancel it.

If I am being really picky I wish it had a separate physical on off button. like one that clicks or slides into either an off or on position, just for my own piece of mind.

I am happy with my choice, it works great.

温度調整が出来るのですごく便利。コーヒーを、よく飲むのでコーヒー用に93度設定。
沸騰したお湯を入れていた頃に比べて、同じコーヒーでも美味しくなった。温度設定がこんなに大事とは知らなかった。普通のタイプで冷ませば一緒なんだろうけどね。
日本茶も温度低めで苦味少なめになるし、温度設定って便利。
あと、注ぎ口が細いのでコーヒーのドリップする時のチョイ注ぎがやり易い！

お湯沸かした後の本体は熱くなるので注意。

I was looking for a gooseneck kettle that was simple to use, had a temperature display, automatically kept the water hot (for 30 minutes), was fast, poured well, had a comfortable handle, had a built-in timer, had a decently long cord with the ability to stow away the excess cord, would automatically shut off if it was too low on water, and no internal plastic. This kettle checked ALL the boxes. You press the button once to turn it on, adjust the temperature, if necessary (I rarely do), and press the button again to start heating the water. It beeps when it gets there (but not loud enough for me to hear).

Possible negatives (but not for me):
Changing the temperature often (It will go as low as 104 F.)
1500 watts, makes it very fast, but could be a problem for some
About 1 liter capacity, you might want more
Can’t disable the beep (but I can’t hear it anyway)

I use the kettle almost exclusively for pour-over coffee, and I occasionally change the temperature a little. If I want a cup of tea, I just use whatever temperature it’s set to. (I’m not a tea connoisseur.) If I were flipping back and forth from perhaps 170 to 205, adjusting the kettle with its rotary dial would be cumbersome, so if that describes you, I’d suggest looking for a different one.

抽出スピードは点滴から勢いのある湯量まで自由自在で使い勝手抜群です。
注ぎ口の先端が少し細くなる加工がされており、それがとても良い仕事をしており細いお湯を注ぎ易くしています。
皆さんも評価されていますが、物理式のダイヤル1ボタンは、デザインだけのタッチパネルよりも感覚的に操作出来るので圧倒的に有利です。
湯温はドリテックのデジタル温度計で測ってみましたがほぼズレが無く、温度もキープしてくれますので美味しいコーヒーの探究にとても役立ちます。
不満があるとすればフタの取っ手が何度ネジを締めてもすぐグラつくので、それさえ改良していただければパーフェクトだと思ってます。
