First of all, the design is beautiful. It looks really nice on my kitchen counter. I have been looking for a gooseneck spout kettle for pour over coffee, and this is exactly what I needed plus more. it's an electric kettle with temperature setting. The temperature setting comes with fahrenheit or celsius which is perfect to set at 200 fahrenheit or 93 celsius for coffee. The heating is very fast. Sometimes, I wanted to find excuses to use it-- a really hot beverage or less hot tea for immediate use. It's a very enjoyable experience every day. As described, you can stop the heating process if you change your mind to have a less hot water. Overall, we enjoy this product very much.
