Pros & Cons
Pros
Black bodum has the same aesthetic appeal as the fellow * and other pricey options, and quality is great for the price. I'm not sorry i bought it, but i hope it lasts. It looks great on my countertop.
Long spout controls the water so you don't 'flood' your coffee when making a pour-over. The lid comes off easily but is not loose. Only challenge is it leaks a bit out the lid if you pour too quickly.
Simple and inexpensive, good value. The switch is transparent and the blue led indicates operation. It is simple to use. Simple and exceeds my needs.
Heats quickly, easy to clean inside, and quite safe. Power tab lights up and it boils water quickly. The bodum is rated 1200w and measures 1130w at the outlet.
Cons
This product is a no-go for specialty coffee drinkers. The smell is quite strong. Very disgusted. Very disappointed in this product.

Price
I love a gooseneck kettle and i needed a replacement, but i didn’t want to pay over $100.
(but you get what you pay for, it's cheaper than those models).
Shipping
I love it for incredibly fast boil time!
Packaging/appearance
I got the matte black version which is lovely and very sculptural.

Competitiveness
Anyway, this black bodum is vastly better.
Pretty good efficiency but still markedly slower than the race winner breville which puts 1500w into the water at a rated 1800w.
The only thing that kind of was disappointing was that, this week, one of those low cost german grocery chains is selling a ver... Read More
