CUSIMAX 1L Gooseneck Electric Kettle - Perfect for Pour Over Coffee & Tea

Windy Wild Clover: It is such a delight to have temperature control. And this little kettle is absolutely great. I have zero complaints. My kettle before this was a ceramic bella. It gave out because we are a tea all day household. So, this one is so light and makes pouring so elegant. Love it!

Nicole: Long story short: I like it, and I expect my tea consumption to go up drastically.

My old kettle has been acting up for about a year, and I had decided that I'd had enough. Either the kettle wouldn't shut off when the water had boiled, or it would shut off before even getting around to boiling. It didn't have a boil-dry feature or any form of temperature control beyond "the bubbles look to be around the right size and it's making that one sound."

This kettle solves all of those problems. The boil-dry works, something I accidentally tested out earlier. The temperature controls work well too. It's much more enjoyable to drink your tea when you haven't accidentally (or lazily) scalded it.

It is simple enough to operate. I like that there are buttons, and they're the satisfying kind too, not flimsy feeling, and not the weird electronic kind. It does remember your last setting, which is handy. And the spout pours really smoothly. I didn't initially like how this kettle doesn't have markings to fill it up with the exact amount of water needed. However, a discreet fill line sharpie on my glass teapot solves the issue.

I think that the...

Hillary: Love this kettle! I really like the temperature control buttons. I'm a die hard coffee drinker, and when I made my pour over I love that I can customize the water temperature to 200 degrees. I also love the feature that keeps the water temperature constant, so if I'm not quite ready to make my coffee when the water is preheated, it will just keep it at the right temp for me!

My only complaint about this kettle is that my lid is VERY difficult to take off. This is really only troublesome when I heat water, then want to heat more right away (because the water capacity is kind of small) and the lid is very hot so I have to be extra careful removing it. I know someone else with this same kettle though, and their lid comes off easily, so I think I just got a dud.

I definitely recommend this kettle!

Jeremy ModjeskaJeremy Modjeska: I recommend this kettle. After retiring my old kettle when its epoxied plastic window liberated itself from the kettle body, I extensively researched replacement options. After nearly a year of daily use, I remain satisfied with this choice.

Pros:
* Heats quickly and keeps water at the desired temp for 30 mins
* Temperature selection is handy
* As far as I can tell, no plastic parts come in contact with the water
* The metal seams appear to be high-quality with no evident epoxy to wear out over time
* Gooseneck creates a controlled, even flow of water
* No significant issues after about a year of daily use

Cons:
* There is a small amount of white buildup and moisture around the external seam between the neck and the kettle body. I don't know if this is limescale or calcium or something else. It does not appear that the kettle is leaking in any way, but this buildup is something I will have to keep an eye on. Note that there is no residue or buildup of any kind on the inside of the kettle. Photos are attached for more expert eyes to judge whether this is a product quality concern or maybe just a reflection on the quality of my...

Alakar: 2 Year Update: I've had this pot for 2 years now and it is still going strong. I typically used it around twice a day, but my daughter, son in law, and their new baby are now living with me and I'm working from home, so it now gets used 6 to 10 times per day. No problems with it and it is still well worth the money.

This is a really nice pot for pour over coffee. I was a little hesitant about purchasing because of the fixed temperatures (and the number of reviews from people that got the pot for free), but those concerns were dispelled once I got it an used it. The construction of the pot and base is good quality with good fit and finish. The pouring spout allows for good control when doing the pour over and the 1L capacity means you can get a couple of mugs out of a single fill. The only point against is because of the taper of the pot, seeing the level lines when filling is a bit difficult.

I checked actual temps vs. what was printed on the base using my Thermoworks Thermapen:

Setting Listed Actual
Warm = 158 160
Green Tea = 167 168
Coffee = 185 185
Black Tea = 194 192
Herbal Tea = 203 201
Boil = 212 ...
