I recently purchases a Hario Buono cordless electric kettle. This is the review of that product.
Specs:
Volume: 0.8 liters (3 cups)
Type: Cordless removable kettle with stationary powered base
Power: 1100 watts
Material: Satin stainless steel exterior, polished stainless interior
Shut off temp: 212 F degrees F
Street price: $65-$80
Test Altitude: 580 ft. Performance/results may vary at your altitude (time to boil, temp at shut off)
Good points:
Reasonably rapid heat up time. Kettle heats up from cold (65 degree) filtered tap water to shut off temperature (boiling) in just under 5 minutes.
The goose-neck spout allows for slow to medium speed flow. It is easy to keep the flow rate exact and to direct the pour where you want it to go.
I find that the kettle is very convenient as the base stays plugged in and stationary. The kettle comes off of the base to be used without dragging a cord around.
Bad Points
Kettle switching is on/off so when it turns off it starts to cool. There is no "retain temperature" function as there is with the Bonavita electric kettle which will retain a set temperature.
The size at 0.8 liter is a bit small for a 1 liter pot of coffee.
This is a specialized coffee pour over kettle. It would be awkward to use as a tea kettle because of the restricted slow flow, though if you are not put off by the slower delivery of hot water it would be suitable for any process requiring hot water (coffee, tea, coca, instant oatmeal, etc)
