Bonavita 1.0L Electric Kettle Featuring Gooseneck Spout, BV3825B

I really didn't think that how you pour water into a coffee maker such as a Chemex, or other manual funnel method, would make a difference. Well, I was wrong. I had been using a tea kettle to both heat and pour water, but the pour-rate was hard to control. With the Bonavita, that is no longer the case.Just this morning, I made a Chemex pot of some freshly roasted Guatemalan Finca la Providencia (Taraccino Coffee in Minneapolis... cool place to get some great coffee), and with the Bonavita, a steady stream of water was EASY to do. And the result was an incredible brewed coffee. Though the flavor profile has much to do with the brewing method, that brewing method is greatly affected by the pour. The Guat has never had the depth it did this morning. Amazing cup that really did surprise me. The body rivaled that of my vac-pot brewer. I'm a convert to this style of pouring spout. Really makes the slow-pour that much easier to do, and control.Now for another important aspect of this kettle - the actual heating of the water. Quick! 30 ounces of water took maybe four minutes. While there isn't a whistle like on the tea kettle, boiling water makes a very recognizable sound. First it gets louder and louder, then quieter as it goes to a true boil. Then, the kettle's heater automatically turns off. I listen, and have gotten quite good at knowing when to start my grinder so that it finishes right before the water is ready to pour.Finally, the quality of the kettle is quite satisfactory. Nice materials and good build-quality. My guess is that I will be using this kettle for years to come.UPDATE: 10/18/2013After almost two years of use, I'm still quite happy with this kettle. I use it 5-7 days per week (weekends quite often mean more time in the morning, so I fire up the lever-espresso machine for cappuccinos, etc.), and it's still going as it did on day one. Not the speediest to heat water, but while it's heating, I do other things, and just stay within earshot (water gives off a good amount of sound as it's coming to a boil, then gets quiet right as it's reaching a boil).My only addition to my review would be that I wish the flow of water were a bit more restricted (slower). I can slowly pour, but the opening size is just a bit larger than I'd prefer. No big deal though... I've gotten to be a proficient pourer, and have adopted a pulsing-pour style (pour a bit, stop, pour a bit more, and so on). Also, the hard-water we have here in Southern California has left some very-slight hard-water film on the inside of the kettle. I've been meaning to boil up some water then dump some Cafiza in to the water (post boil). With that sitting in there for 10 minutes or so, the deposits will all be gone.So the bottom line question is if I'd buy this kettle again. Yup. In fact, I did. I bought a spare early on just in case mine ever died. Nothing lasts forever, and I'm glad I've got a back-up for when I need it - though I don't anticipate needing it for a LONG time.

Tired of having water dribble down the side of the kettle? Unless you have a kettle with a long spout, hot water spills are frequent. This stainless steel kettle has a very unusual spout; Its graceful curve is not only pleasing to the eye; it functions well. It is ideal for pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a paper or permanent filter because the water stream can be directed precisely where needed. The Bonavita electric kettle is ideal also for pouring hot water into teacups and mugs with no spills. I make instant hot chocolate, which is difficult to dissolve. The way that this electric kettle helps in this case is that I can pour so precisely that the water stream can be directed toward the undissolved portion of chocolate powder, so that I don't end up with lumps of undissolved chocolate in my cup. At first, I thought that the spout may be too narrow, but the water stream volume is perfect-no splashes or splattering of hot water on the counter or table. The heating elements are not exposed inside the kettle. The kettle (wireless) sits flat on its stand (wired). The kettle is lightweight but substantial, so that it isn't heavy to lift. Many kettles are a little bit heavy to lift and may cause wrist strain. To heat the water, you lower the small lever beneath the handle. When water reaches the boiling point, the lever automatically pops into its former position. The kettle will not continue boiling, which is a safety feature. If you leave the room or forget about the kettle, it will not boil away causing a fire hazard. The plastic handle and top finial are cool to touch and easy to grasp at just the right angle for pouring with no chance of steam burns. The handle is good quality, not cheap plastic, and it is easy to grasp without slipping. Other kettles that I have owned have had the handle at the top, and when I poured water, there was always the danger of steam burns. This kettle eliminates that possibility because of the spout design. I've owned this kettle for 6 months and have had no problems with it. I see from the reviews that a rep from the company answered a question about the kettle and mentioned that the kettle comes with a warranty. I'll have to ask how long the warranty is, but it's nice to know that the company is interested enough to have a rep monitor the reviews in order to address any concerns. This is the best kettle I've owned.

The thing that sets this kettle apart from most electric kettles is the spout. The slim spout allows for accurate, steady pouring for tea, coffee, etc.I wasn't sure I'd like the handle, but it is actually designed really well for ergonomics. The weight of the water is balanced properly when holding the handle, so it's functionally great. I still don't like the look of the handle, and it is plastic as opposed to stainless steel. But they're putting the money where it needs to go, so at the price, this kettle is great!The kettle does heat up quickly (3-4 minutes) which compares well to other kettles. For manually brewing pourover coffee, this kettle is fantastic. If you're a coffee shop doing manual pourovers, the size will be a limiting factor.The lid fits securely (unlike its Hario competitor).The base is simple with a cord wrap and about a 3 foot cord.The metal is appropriately thick (it's not heavy duty, but it is sturdy and solid).The on/off switch has been accurately shutting off at the right temperature so far even at different water levels.It has cleaned up nicely and has felt very safe to use. Has held up to regular use for a few months so far with no damage. Between the electric Hario (which is very nice) and this model, I'd take the Bonavita every day (except on the day when aesthetics means more than functionality) .

Ha sido excelente. La he usado de forma compulsiva y es muy eficiente en el tiempo que toma. Normalmente tomo 5 tazas de bebidas calientes (té, infusiones y café) al día y esta tetera es una solución al tiempo que me tomaba hervir el agua para hacerlas. Adicionalmente, el pico de ganso es ideal para que la cuerda de la bolsita no se meta en la taza y para hacer café en filtro UV60.

Calienta muy rápido. Es de buena calidad y muy funcional

No tengo queja alguna, tengo meses usándola a diario de manera intensa y el funcionamiento no ha tenido ningún cambio. Basta respetar las instrucciones de uso al pie de la letra. Aunque no es sencillo conseguir el producto especial para su limpieza, existen consejos para mantenerla impecable a un costo bajísimo. Es un producto excelente.

Me saliò defectuosa

The media could not be loaded. Tal como la descripción, se ve de buena calidad. Evitar moverla una vez encendida ya que se baja el boton de encendido, coloca la tapa con los orificios hacia la boca del hervidor para evitar quemarte. Muy rápida.
