Harriet Gooseneck Kettle with Thermometer for Pour Over Coffee and Tea, 37 fl oz, Stainless Steel, Durable 3-Layer Base, Ideal Spout for Precision Pouring, Compatible with all Stove Tops

Heats water pretty well, the thermostat is a good indicator. The only issue is screws that holds the thermostat are beginning to rust. It’s unfortunate the manufacturer couldn’t afford stainless steel screws and decided to go with regular screws. I only had this for a month.

Great little kettle. Works as designed. Note, the handle looks like wood but actually it’s rubber with a painted design. This rubber handle does NOT get hot on a gas stove. Great value.

I've used a number of similar looking (if not identical looking) kettles. Honestly, you get what you pay for. The other kettles were substantially lighter in overall weight, like cheap aluminum pots. This Harriet kettle has a much thicker bottom plate and thicker body. No comparison to the the 20-30 dollar similar looking kettles. Perfect kettle for my V60 pour overs, heated on my Natural Gas stove. No problem with handle heat - providing you keep flame from 'over licking' the kettle base. Unfortunately, the thermometer doesn't match the quality of the rest if the kettle - and I can see - that this will the first part to fail (either by breaking off or just will just stop providing readings - just like the other similar looking kettles - which use the exact same crappy thermometer). No replacement thermometers available (that I can find). Stainless mirror finish will slightly discolor over time - particularly if you overboil and/or leave kettle unattended. But still a great kettle for the price - and would purchase it again - when needed.

If you poor too steeply, it will drip- don’t do that. I don’t use the lid as people suggested this will become damaged- didn’t do that. I find the thermometer to be accurate- tested with another thermometer. All in all my highest recommendation. It even looks good.

Overall the design is excellent, and it's great that it has a built in thermometer. The pour quality is great - it is NOT designed to pour out the entire amount of water but to give you a very smooth, consistent and controllable pour for pour-over coffee. It also works on a variety of stove tops. Mine is the plain steel design and it looks good if plain. Unfortunately the temperature gauge fogs up quite easily. I don't mean from *external* steam, but from steam that gets *into* the gauge and can't be easily wiped off or even dried out. The inside moisture easily obscures the temperature reading. I dried out the gauge as well as I could (precluding a few days of use) and used some sticky tack putty to seal the bits where I thought steam might be getting in. That seems to help, but better design (especially with the gasket) would help a lot.) Also, the lid fits too snugly (it's hard to remove; I never close it all the way, just letting it rest on the top) and there is no protection for your knuckles (you have to remember to keep the hand holding the handle well away from the body of the kettle to avoid burning your knuckles). The few complaints aside, this is great value.
