This kettle is MADE for a coffee loving pour over freak like me. It beeps when it's reached it's temp. YAY! No more guessing when it's ready. It keeps the kettle at desired temp automatically for 30 minutes. No more cold water hitting my coffee grinds. Plus it has a count up timer so you can time your pour over perfectly. I love that you can adjust the temperature to the exact degree -- 204F it is! The simple design is great and after my other kettle broke, I did some research and this, my friends, is the best one on the market and they are members of 1% for the Planet. Thank you OXO.
