Bonavita 1.0L Stovetop Gooseneck Kettle, BV3825ST

Love this kettle. We use it everyday. I just love how it pours water, a think nice spout, not a splashing mess like some other bigger kettles I own. After recieving another, larger, MarthaStewart kettle for my birthday and having it spew boiling water everywhere, we replaced it with this one and have never looked back. Word to the wise, if you leave this kettle on by accident with no water in it, the top will melt, the spout will snap off, and your house will smell like a burning toy factory for a week. Just saying. Oh, and you'll have to buy a new kettle. But I did, and I bought the same exact one. So that should say something.

I spent years boiling my water for coffee brewing out of a regular, short-spouted kettle with the whistle thing that makes all kinds of racket when the water boils. There wasn't a whole lot of control over the pour, which can lead to problems with uneven extraction. Plus, general-purpose kettles are unwieldy and difficult to pour. Enter this Bonavita kettle (or, if you prefer the style, the equivalent kettle made by Hario--but I much prefer this one, it's gorgeous!). Here's how I use it: 1) Boil water in my normal kettle 2) When it boils, transfer it into this Bonavita kettle (this step also helps cool the water down from boiling) 3) Throw a thermometer into the water and wait for it to cool down to proper brewing temperature, or if you're hardcore, wait until your gut tells you the water is ready 4) Pour about 30-50ml of water onto your coffee grounds, making sure to wet them evenly. Wait 30 seconds or so until the grounds stop bubbling (that's the bloom that you get when freshly roasted and ground beans release some CO2). 5) Pour an even stream in a circular motion over your grounds in whatever brewing vessel you're using (French press, Chemex, Aeropress, etc.) 6) Have some freakin' great coffee The neat, tempered stream that comes out of the gooseneck spout on this thing makes it very easy to direct the water onto specific spots, which helps you wet your grounds evenly and manage the bloom on fresher grounds well. It's also easier to pour water slowly without it becoming a trickle, which can lead to splashing and ultimately leaves you with a messy counter top. So with a standard kettle, I found myself simply flooding my grounds, which for pour-over brewers can lead to inconsistent extraction. Overall, it's a great, attractive kettle that helps you brew better coffee more consistently (again, especially with pour-over brewers). It's large enough to fill an 8-cup French press with water to spare; you could probably fill a 10-cup brewer with one kettle full. Highly recommended!

I bought this for my coffee connoisseur husband for Christmas. He loved the spout design and that is holds enough for two large mugs of coffee without having to refill. The smooth surface is easy to clean, and the shape is attractive. It worked great for six months. Unfortunately, one day it was empty on a hot burner, and the welding on the spout melted resulting in the spout falling off. I am going to reorder and buy the protection plan.

Actually, I also purchased (about a year ago) the electric version of this same kettle. It is such an integral and indispensable part of my coffee-making ritual that a recent power outage convinced me of the need for the non-electric version as well. The stainless steel is beautiful, the design is elegant, the manufacture is pristine and flawless, and Amazon's shipping and care with packaging is, as usual, outstanding. If you make pour-over coffee, use a Clever dripper, or even an AeroPress, this is an essential piece of equipment that allows a very controlled and carefully aimed pour.

These are two pots I purchased. One of them had the spout fall off and water boiled out overharing,meltimg the top. The logo also burned off over time. The replacement I bought several months ago, formed a rust spot on the bottom inside seam within the first week. I dealt with that but now it leaks from the bottom. These pots do not hold up. I really like the style of the pot but they l will not buy another one. They rust even when you clean and dry them. I noticed when you are heating water that the pot sweats from the cold water but it starts to bubble around the bottom seam and forms some kind of reaction which leads to rust and corrosion. I wish I could return them for a credit but its past the return time. I may have to contact the manufacturer. Very disappointed. My son has one and the handle came the pot fell and the spout broke off his. These pots were not abused. There are safety issues!

The handle breaks off easily. It doesn't last. Don't buy

Okay, so I was a bit hesitant to buy this kettle because of some of the bad reviews I’d seen here at Amazon. The two I was most concerned about were that the spout came off while boiling water and that a poorly shaped bottom caused it to rock off a glass top stove. I started looking at reviews on coffee websites and such, and heard nothing but positive feedback for this product. I decided to email the manufacturer. They admitted that in some of the earlier runs of this model there were some welding issues, but that they had been resolved. On the balance of the information I decided to order, and I’m happy I did. The welding around the spout looks very sturdy, so I am not worried about that. Also, I had no issues with the kettle rocking off the burner. The only reason I could see that, that might happen is if someone left some water either on the burner or the bottom of the kettle to create steam and pressure. I had heard some complaints about the kettle feeling a bit light, which it does. To be honest, though, I think that is by design. It is meant to pour water in a very controlled manner. This would be more difficult if it was heavier. Overall I couldn’t be happier. The kettle looks great, it feels very good in the hand, gives excellent control while pouring, and is very affordable. If you are considering a kettle for pour over coffee I would say buy this one with confidence.

Material und Verarbeitung mache einen guten Eindruck. Das Restwasser ist relativ gut zu entfernen. Ich benutze den Bonavita 1 L Wasserkessel zum Aufgießen von Kaffee. Man kann sehr präzise und langsam gießen ohne zu tropfen. Das Wasser kann direkt in der Kanne aufgegossen werden. Ich bin mit der Kanne sehr zufrieden.

Very disappointed. Spent £30 thinking we are getting good solid kettle that will be with us for at least several years. It broke after 2 months usage. What a terrible product bonavita. So disappointed. Hardly leave review usually, but thought other people should know this. Speaking of value for money, not worth my £30.

Ich nutze diesen Kessel als Dosierkanne zum Aufbrühen von Kaffee (anstelle z.B. des Hario Buono V60) und fülle dazu kochendes Wasser aus einem Wasserkocher hinein. (Zum Wasserkochen selbst habe ich den Kessel noch nicht genutzt). Kontrolliertes, dosiertes Eingießen in den Filter gelingt mir mit dem Bonavita-Kessel wunderbar, dabei liegt er sehr gut in der Hand. Zudem ist er sehr leicht, mit Deckel gerade einmal 345 g. Der Deckel ist passgenau im kalten wie im heißen Zustand, bei Bedarf lässt er sich mittels dreier kleiner Klemmzungen anpassen. Die Verarbeitung ist insgesamt gut, Tülle und Boden sind sauber eingepasst bzw. umgefalzt. Zu Bemängeln hätte ich lediglich, dass man den Kessel nicht vollständig leer bekommt. Es bleiben immer ein paar Tropfen am Boden im Falz versammelt, da die obere Öffnung knapp umgebogen ist und deswegen das Restwasser nicht komplett auslaufen kann. Langzeitbeobachtungen kann ich allerdings noch keine berichten, da ich den Kessel erst seit wenigen Tagen im Einsatz habe. Vier Sterne mit Tendenz zu fünf.

Buen producto para los metodos de preparacion de cafe, lo recomiendo, adicionalmente me llego muy rapido. Buen precio y buena calidad

Me gustó el diseño, que no pesa nada y segura al servir el agua. Lo único es que me gustaría qu el agua se calentara mas rápido
