Patrick D.: the lid is very difficult to operate, the notch on the lid rim makes it very difficult to remove/secure, and if left off, it won't shut off by itself. very annoying

MKES: Quicker than gas range to boil water. Lid on the kettle has small tabs to hold it on. Prefer the older Hairos where the lids are free. Likely a safety mandate. But tabs make lid removal a 2-hand operation. Took a lid from older Hairo and put it on this, now it’s easy, no resistance, lifts off with one hand. Using filtered water (RO) will avoid scaling issues.

Ｋ．Ｋ: 2013年6月購入、コーヒーのドリップやカップ麺の湯沸し用に重宝していましたが、2023年3月電源が入らなくなってしまいました。10年というのはよく持った方だと思います。内部の温度センサーのせいで洗いにくい以外は、がたつきもなくフタもきちんと締まり不満な点はありませんでした。ただ、10年の間にこの分野の製品も著しく進化しており、次また同じのを買うかというと微妙です。

Basenji: Love this kettle. It is replacing my wife's final Keurig. I will buy no more of those. Nothing but a money pit. I drink coffee in nearly every possible way, minus instant which she drinks exclusively. Eww. Anyway, this kettle heats fast at around the 3 minute mark for its 850 gram(@30 ounce) capacity. Heavy stainless steel with a nice ergonomic handle that does not get hot. Great for pourovers like the Aeropress, Chemex or V60. French press is also a good fit. If there is any negative slant at all, it would be the lack of ability to hold at temperature and no thermometer. Cleaning might be a wee bit tight for those of us with ape hands, but it's manageable with a dish brush. Recommended for all but the most discerning of coffee nerds. So, unless you are James Hoffmann, I say buy one.

Amazon Customer: I needed to replace my glass kettle so I purchased this, partly because I liked the look of the design. Unfortunately all of these comments in other reviews, about inferior materials used in the Made in China versions vs the higher quality Made in Japan kettles, are justified. Mine is made in China and it's taken a couple weeks for the metallic/bitter smell to go away from the steam during boiling, but just today I took a whiff of my leftover (now cold) Americano coffee and the bitter smell was still there. I shudder to think what exactly is leaching off this cheap, thin metal appliance. I would return this kettle however I've already disposed of the packaging, so I'm gonna just take this as a loss; donate it to the curb!

CC: Used almost every day for making pourover coffee for the last four years. The electric version makes heating water super simple and quick. Just 1 button. Did its job well for long enough, but a few things I noticed at the end of its life that knocked off a star.

Downfalls: Rust and buildup inside over time. I also didn't do a good job dumping water out when I was done using it, so partly my fault. A vinegar or baking soda solution removed most of the mineral buildup, but the rust spots didn't go away.

Also last week I noticed it started leaking at the base of the kettle and a ton of condensation on the bottom. And the kettle won't turn off automatically anymore, so I have to do it manually now. But I suppose 4 years was long enough...things break. I don't think I'll be purchasing this one again due to the rust issue.

Amazon Customer: I wanted to order the version that has full temperature control but mistakenly ordered this one, which can only boil water. Well, I like my water hot so not a big issue.
The kettle is beautiful and has easy control over a wide range of flow rates, absolutely love it. Hope it lasts long.

Snowbird66: I just received this and have used it once. No big issues yet. My only two complaints are:

-there's no temperature gauge for different temps of water, it's all just 'boiled', which is no biggy, as I like it hot

-in spite of it being a supposedly 'Japanese' product, it did indeed say on the underside 'made in China', which was specifically what I didn't want and I'm angry at the company (and Amazon) for not making that clearer in the product info AND providing us with a 'made in Japan ONLY' option.

Having said that, for a simple kettle, it works, keeps my water hot enough and seems to poor well enough, so far.

One more little criticism: could they not come up with better, or at least more flexible cords for these things? Unraveling it and keeping it in the right place is a real pain in the 'bleep'!

Happy in New Mexico: When I found out this kettle was made in China and no longer made in Japan, I decided not to buy it. But after looking at all the buying options for gooseneck electric kettles without plastic, I decided on the Hario Buono in spite of my reluctance to avoid the "Made in China" label. There are good features and bad features associated with the kettle, which I've had for a month. The bad: The spout was bent (poor packing) but easily pushed back in to position. Compared to the Japanese made stove-top kettle, which is available in stores where I live, the Chinese-made Hario is a rougher metal. The polish striations on the brushed exterior are very obvious. In fact, mine came with a 4 in..x 4 in. blob of polishing rouge still on the outside of the kettle. It was easily wiped off but it shows how little quality control goes in to products made in China. The kettle worked perfectly, though, for the first week. Then It became hot without having the on-off switch depressed. It might have stayed in the depressed position by accident but I don't see how I could have done this. I unplugged it and let it cool off and this has not happened again. But now I get a burning plastic smell when it...
