The thin, perfectly curved spout gives you complete control over the speed and placement of your water pour, enabling you to saturate the grounds evenly and achieve a more balanced extraction when making pour-over coffee. It pours more slowly than the Hario Bueno. It will take time to fill your French press. Also, if you use the kettle for other things, you will need to be patient. However, it is perfect for all drip coffee brewing methods, including Hario V60, Chemex, and Kalita Wave. The temperature can be adjusted between 100 and 212 degrees. A downside to the manual buttons, however, is that you have to press them for every degree you want to change. For instance, if the kettle is set to 170 degrees but you want the water to be 200 degrees, you have to press the button 30 times. While this is more frustrating than using a dial, I've personally never had an issue with it after testing the kettle for a month. I primarily brew pour-over coffee between 198 and 203 degrees, so I don't need to adjust the temperature too often or too drastically. There have been times that I made matcha with 176-degree water, but even then it wasn't much of a hassle to adjust the temperature. I also consider this one of the easiest-to-use kettles that I've tested because the display is so intuitive. You can unbox the kettle and understand all the features right away, unlike some kettles that require a glance at the instruction manual first.

Safety — Most electric kettles automatically shut off when the water boils, making them safer than stovetop options. But, for added peace of mind, some also have boil dry protection, which means they’ll shut off if there’s no water remaining. And if you want a kettle that doesn’t get too hot on the outside, look for one with a double wall or plastic construction. Materials: 304 stainless steel kettle body and lid, plastic base.
