OXO BREW Electric Pour-Over Kettle with Adjustable Temperature Control

Charles W. Jones: Pot and electric controls work well, as was predicted. My only suggestion is for the manufacturer to include written instructions for the new owner to be sure to peel off the decal that was placed over the controls before using the pot. Us oldsters need the knock on the head reminder. I wasted a couple of hours trying to get the thing working. I called for help and the nice lady who answered the phone got me up and running in one minute.

Rick: My wife needed a pot that could be adjusted in one-degree increments to any temperature; but since I have no such requirement and prefer the look of the COSORI kettle and its easier operation, we now own both.

M. Prince: This is actually my second purchase of this unit, mainly as a backup down the road. I've owned one for six years now, and every single day for those six years, it has been used to boil water at least 4-5 times a day by my wife and I. We descale it every six months and it works just like new, even though it's been cycled around 11,000 times. Pretty amazing.

Easy to use, clear readout, easy temperature adjustment, one of the fastest boil times of any pour over kettle, good pouring ability for slow, 2ml/sec or slower pours for those who love tinkering with manual pour over, and it looks good. One of the best products OXO makes.

justjoemjustjoem: Nearly didn’t buy this item because of all the reviews complaining that the handle falls off. Oxo apparently took note and changed the attachment from a metal loop to a flat tab. I suspect it will be more durable than the old style. I have only had it out of the box for a couple of hours. It heats the water very rapidly. It seems to hold the temp well. It is simple to adjust the temp. It has a nice controlled pour. Overall very happy with the purchase thus far.

Customer in Oregon: This is the one for me. Excellent, precise calibration; variable temp; built-in, up-counting timer; and easy user interface (especially once you learn to recognize the respective icons for warming and holding modes, given that the unit needs to be in holding mode for you to start the timer).

I had feared that the steel finish wouldn't look anywhere as good as black, but it turns out to look just fine, even in a prominent spot with no other visible bare steel.

What a relief to land on this unit. Hooray!

Cor: This thing heats up water so fast! 1500 WATT, dont use it at the same time as the microwave... Very sturdy, compact, easy to use, love the gooseneck spout for precise pouring, good product.

Ryan: This kettle is perfect. You can fine-tune the temperature to any degree. It holds enough for a few cups of coffee, it is easy to clean and heats up very fast. It is a tad pricey, but that's okay. Don't spend any more on anything else. There is a VERY trendy pour-over kettle out there that is, like, double the price. You know which one I am talking about... don't fall for that trap.

On the flip side, there are a LOT of cheap, strange-named, Chinese clones of that expensive kettle. You will find those on Amazon as well. Stay away. OXO is a trusted, name brand. Don't cheap out and buy garbage. Spend your money wisely.

harawayharaway: Great kettle for coffee & tea lovers, in heating water and pouring. But the digital numerical display is very faint, and the temperature numbers are extremely hard to read. They are placed under the painted-on "211", which covers the lighted temp numbers as they rise when the water is heating. It made choosing the F or C setting difficult too. The lighted numbers are fuzzy and almost impossible to see! Really takes away from the otherwise good quality of this kettle. And yes, my eyesight is fine.

I tried to contact OXO from here in Canada, before asking Amazon for a replacement, but they make it impossible to ask a question about this on their website, just generic queries only. I actually thought this kettle was defective and Amazon sent me a replacement, which is exactly the same! Unless by some quirk I got sent a second defective kettle.

I've searched the internet extensively, and no one else has mentioned this fuzzy number issue, which I find baffling as it detracts from enjoying the kettle. It's a shame because I really did my research before buying and it's a big favourite among many people.

K. P. SiuK. P. Siu: The media could not be loaded.  I bought this kettle after reviewing several other similar electric variable temperature-controlled gooseneck kettles on the market (there are really only about 4 or 5 worth considering). My main purpose is to use it for daily pourover coffee brewing, in which both temperature control and precision pouring are important (but not necessary). It ended up replacing my other basic kitchen kettles (e.g. the big box store kind), and it has been an excellent daily driver.

Great points:
• Dial and button are very intuitive to use: turn the dial to temperature and push to start
• Keep-warm feature is no-fuss, switches automatically and keeps temperature even after you remove and replace the kettle without any additional button pressing
• Very quick to heat: 1L of filtered water from room temperature (22°C) to boil (100°C) took approximately 4:40; at more typical coffee brewing temperatures (90-95°C) the water will be heated somewhere between 4:00 and 4:30 - basically the same amount of time it will take to grind and set up your brewer for the morning. The speed of heating is due to the 1500W power draw, which is one of the...

StormJH1: It's still early days with the OXO Adjustable Pour-Over Kettle, but this product really checks off all the boxes for pour-over coffee enthusiasts. In fact, the packaging seems to be heavily marketed towards a specific coffee brewing purpose, even though there's a variety of other uses for a gooseneck kettle with regulated temperature.

My previous setup for pour-over (I use Chemex, V60, and Kalita Wave at various times...kind of an addict) was a stovetop gooseneck or an electric Bodum kettle. In either case, I would need to use a thermometer to gauge temperature, or just boil it and hope it cools to about the 200-205 degree range when I needed it. It really was not an ideal solution for how often I do pour-over. So, I looked at some options like the Stagg EKG ($150 for the non-Bluetooth model), but as sexy as device is, it just seemed overpriced for something that could fail and fundamentally just needs to add water.

Enter the OXO model, which has a street price of around $100.00. I actually really like the aesthetics of the design - particularly the base, which is a glossy black, compact enough to tuck into my coffee cabinet, and has a flat cord that wraps twice...
