Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a tea drinker who is getting into gaiwan style brewing. I switched to this kettle from a stovetop kettle and am very pleased. The two things I like the most are the temperature control and the temperature hold feature. The kettle feels very solid, and the handle is surprisingly nice in my hand. The pour is really good, but is much slower than my ancient stovetop kettle, and I haven't got used to that after a week. I accidentally tip it too far over, trying to get water out faster. The base doesn't move around at all on my kitchen counter and it's easy to lift the kettle off and replace it without fumbling. Setting the temperature is dead simple and the entire thing is well thought out. It's a lot of money to heat water, but I'm happy I spent it. My inexpensive teas are so much better at the correct temperature - I thought for sure that was a tea snob thing. But the difference is striking. So much so that I'm now encouraged to buy some expensive tea now that I can brew it at the correct temperature.
