Tea Kettle For Stovetop,Gooseneck Pour Over Kettle,Thermometer,40oz,Black

I first had pour over coffee while on vacation at a B&B using a gooseneck kettle and really liked the taste and the ease of making the single cup of coffee. After I got home I went back to the plastic pods and forgot about it. A couple of weeks ago visiting friends out of state, she was using pour over and I remembered how much I liked it. Before I even came back home, I ordered this gooseneck tea kettle with a built in thermometer that I am reviewing. I also bought #2 filters and a ceramic pour over coffee maker. It was waiting for me when I got back home. YAY! The kettle was very easy to assemble – just snap the handle on and insert the two set screws provided and screw the thermometer into the lid of the kettle. The kettle shape was one reason I ordered this one, it reminds me of a beehive and the black matte is really pretty. The kettle has three vent holes on the lid, which is a good safety feature to me. The thermometer on the lid has consistently been accurate, the probe does not reach the water in the kettle when I am using only 16 oz of water, so the temperature is based on the inside kettle temperature. The kettle is a good weight at ~2.5 lbs empty and the handle is substantial and stays cool. I noticed that after I empty the kettle, the thermometer shows the kettle retaining heat. So, after I am through making my cup of coffee I leave the lid to the kettle cocked to the side to be sure it cools down. Through trial and error, I have found how to make my perfect cup of coffee. I start with 16 oz of water in my tea kettle and bring to between 195 – 200 degrees. Having a built-in thermometer is such a great idea – you can see at a glance what the water temp is and it even has red marks showing the 195-200 mark. I use about 4 oz of the water to wet and warm up my ceramic maker and thoroughly wet the filter. After I pour that out, I use 3 tablespoons of my mushroom dark roast grounds to the rest of the 12 oz of water and it is perfection. This kettle makes using the spiral method so easy. I start in the middle of the grounds and have all the control I need with the gooseneck to pour the water into the maker and let the grounds bloom for about 30-45 seconds. Then I pour the rest of the water in a spiral motion and the 12 oz of water flows slowly through the coffee maker taking about 3-4 minutes to complete, which really develops the flavor of the coffee. At my friend’s house we just used a measuring cup to do the water pour over and it did not make the smooth spiral like this gooseneck kettle. The only thing that I am still learning is how to totally empty the pot into my cup. I think it is empty and then when I tilt it again, there are a couple more ounces of water. I wonder if that is just the gooseneck style holding a little water. I still prefer this style for a spiral pour over vs my regular teapot or the electric kettle. Since I am only using this kettle to boil water I won’t be cleaning the inside on a regular basis and I simply wipe the outside when I am done. We also have a water filtration system so I do not expect a buildup of minerals inside the kettle. I am completely converted to using the pour over method and enjoy the quality and taste knowing I am not using a single bit of plastic for a landfill or in my beverage.

I bought this cute tea kettle after previously purchasing a very nice quality standard tea pot. While pouring the water into my cup, the steam gave me a really bad burn on my hand which took some time to heal. That was enough for me to decide to purchase this one. I like the size, I like the long spout and I especially like the thermometer on the top. Before ordering, I did not think the thermometer was such a big deal, but now I LOVE it! The kettle holds just enough water to brew a 16 oz cup of coffee, and a secondary half way warm up. If you do not have extra large mugs like I do, I think it would boil enough water for 4 regular cups of tea or coffee. It boils the water very quickly. I am a single woman who only drinks one cup of coffee a day, and this is a perfect product for me. I can't believe I took so long to order it. I like the matte black, (I am sort of a mini minimalist who decorates with mostly neutrals and black accents and this is a darling addition to my stovetop. I would definitely purchase this again.

This kettle is sturdy and well made. The thermometer it super handy and works great. My coffee pour over tastes better from being able to have the water st the right temperature. It's easy to clean and if you use filtered water, there isn't any film on the inside and of course the coffee and tea taste better. I recommend this kettle and would buy it again!

We use this at least twice/day to make pourover coffee, and many days it's used again for tea, water for cooking, etc. There are many pluses, a few minuses... On the plus side, I love the matte black, I really appreciate the temperature gauge, the water heats up very quickly, and the pour spout usually gives a nice even flow (see below). Somewhere in the middle: I mostly love that it doesn't have a whistle but I sometimes get busy and forget that I'm boiling water (see below for more on why that's a problem). In addition, if the water is near boiling and it's the last little bit of water, the pour stream is a little more "bubbly" (less even flow). On the minus side, I have found that the paint around the very bottom is burning off and it smells; I'm not concerned that it's getting into our water but it's a little off-putting either way. I also think the temperature gauge is less reliable when the kettle isn't full (it seems like it needs most of the metal rod submerged to be accurate). And lastly, as noted above I occasionally forget I'm boiling water and, similar to other reviewers, the boiling water can spray out so be careful!! Overall, we like it and none of the "minuses" are dealbreakers so we'll keep using it.

This tea kettle with built-in thermometer has quickly become part of my daily routine. The 40oz capacity is just right for a few cups at a time without feeling bulky, and the gooseneck spout gives excellent control for precise pouring, especially for pour-over coffee and loose-leaf tea. The integrated thermometer is a standout feature. It makes it easy to heat water to the ideal temperature without guessing, which is great for different types of tea. The kettle heats evenly on the stovetop and feels solid and well-made. The matte black finish also looks great on the counter and stove. Overall, this is a well-designed, functional kettle that balances form and function nicely. If you care about water temperature and clean, controlled pours, this is a great buy. Highly recommended!

DANGER! READ the negative reviews on this Apusu black 1.3 qt stovetop tea kettle. Folks warn that this kettle is poorly constructed, prone to rust, painted with a toxic substance, not easy to use as a pour over, smaller than it seems bc you can’t fill it to capacity, has a substandard thermometer, has nonexistent customer service, and is definitely not value for money. Hubby read only the positive reviews and ordered. Here’s our experience: we followed instructions to wash the kettle and boil a couple pots before use. First, we had a smoke bomb going up with a stench in the kitchen. Hubby turned on the vent and figured manufacturing didn’t do their job making sure the kettle was primed for retail. So, he tried again. This time he filled it, placed it on the induction cooktop, turned burner on high, and turned back to the sink. Luckily, I walked through the kitchen. The kettle was spewing water over the entire cooktop. Grabbing a towel, I was able to save the electronics. No whistle to warn it had come to a boil. I was ready to call it quits. He wanted to give it another chance on a lower heat setting. He only filled it halfway, used a med. high setting, but apparently wasn’t watching it closely, because, again I came to the rescue, sopping up the boiling water that was spewing from the spout. That was when I decided we’d better read a few more reviews. This pot shouldn’t be sold for induction cooktops. It’s a danger to the stove, and you. After reading the reviews, he agreed; way too many folks have said the same. Do yourself a favor, and dodge a bullet. We still have the burning chemical smell in our kitchen to remind us, we didn’t.

I love it. It's a very good looking kettle. Perfect for me.

No compren la negra, se pela con facilidad.

Me gustó mucho, el termómetro funciona muy bien, además dado el diseño de la olla, el agua llega más rápido al punto de temperatura buscado comparado con la simple olla sin tapa tradicional, además el mango es excelente para agarrarla sin tener que buscar un trapo. Sin mencionar que el color negro se ve elegante.

التاجر غير أمين بيبعت نوع تاني غير ده مفيش مصداقية

Upon arrival, you have to attach the handle to the base, with two tiny screws. Four screws and a tiny screw driver are included. Easy peasy. Kettle is awesome. Holds enough water for two cups of coffee. Heats to “coffee sweet spot” (per thermometer) in six minutes on my induction stove plate. Wish I had bought years ago to make environmentally friendly pour over coffee ☕️👌🏼👌🏼. If you need to refill the kettle you can do so without getting burned as it not super hot (as long as you don’t allow the kettle to continue heating after temperature reaches “sweet spot”).

La jarra es muy bonita, en la estufa de inducción calienta perfectamente y es comodísima. El termómetro funciona muy bien y tiene marcada la temperatura de ebullición del agua. Para usarla con métodos de café como la V60 es muy precisa. Me encantó.

This is a great little kettle for pour over coffee. Not only does it look posh, it pours well and the temperature thermometer keeps me from scorching my coffee grounds. Would really recommend.
