This kettle boils water far more quickly than a kettle on a stove. Temperature settings insure that the hot water is the proper temperature for whatever you are brewing: black tea, green tea or coffee.

Works well and as described. Alarm signal helps to let me know when water is heated.

I would have preferred that the markings for Maximum and Minimum were on the side opposite the handle. It's a bit awkward filling it the way it is. The ability to adjust the temperature by single degrees, rather than in 5 degree increments, would be nice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like the kettle overall, but would prefer if there was an option to silence the kettle, as the beeper can be quite loud. I would also prefer if the temperature could be changed to celcius.

Great kettle-a nice design on the countertop, easy-to-use interface. The kettle heats up relatively quickly, though I do find that the kettle does not shut off on it's own after it reaches temperature, but continues to reheat. If I go to boil water and then walk away, it will essentially keep boiling forever. Perhaps there is a way to override this, but it might be my only criticism.

This gooseneck kettle is fast boiling, well made, and good looking.
I use it every day and it boils water noticeably faster than my previous kettle. This comes with a single downside: the water makes many loud sounds that are like small explosions. While this is not a problem it is something to be aware of if you are intending to use this in a noise sensitive place. The high wattage and fast boiling means that some of the larger pockets of steam collapse to create these very loud popping sounds (not like a rolling boil, discrete and explosive).
The construction and packaging are high quality. The base is sturdy and doesn’t slide around with normal use. The handle is comfortable and there is a small vent in the lid to direct the steam away from your hands when you align the arrows on the lid (a very nice little feature). The construction feels sturdy while being fairly lightweight. The buttons are responsive and I haven’t accidentally pressed one yet. You do have to hold the power button down to turn it on while just a tap will turn it off, again, a nice little detail.
The aesthetics of the kettle are nice. It is understated, in a nice matte black finish. The base is functional while not being ugly. It blends into a modern set of kitchen tools without causing visitors to wonder what it is (unlike some coffee grinders). In general, it leans masculine, modern, industrial, and minimal in the visual design but it isn’t an eye sore.
I really enjoy this kettle and I won’t have any issues using it until either I break it or it gives out. There are two things I would offer as a way to take this from a 4 to a 5 for the next generation of the GK1 (maybe GK2?). The first is a more apparent max fill line. I am regularly using my kettle in the dark mornings and it can be hard to see the max fill line on the inside of the kettle. It there was a small bit of material that I could use as a gauge it would help in low light uses. The second is the ability to convert the temperature reading to Celsius. I know this is not a feature that most Americans would ask for but I was very surprised to find out I could only use Fahrenheit (maybe this has to do with the 5 degree granularity but I am unsure).
I would recommend this kettle to most people for pour over coffee and other electric kettle needs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good kettle, but emits a deafening beep when starting and finishing. It scares my dog every time. There is no mute option. You can search for more drastic measures to remove the beep online.
