If this kettle includes the indicator of current temperature and volume will be great. It’s hard to tell how much water left inside the kettle without opening the lid. My previous kettle has both indicators, feel much better than this one
This kettle is practical in terms of useability and the capacity. It heats up quickly and since it's a good size, you can get about 4 cups of hot water in one heating--if it's filled up to the maximum. I really like the design, which is very important aspect of the purchase as this sits out on my counter 100% of the time.
Been using this for about a week now; heats up fast and just works great. Can't speak to longevity, but we are loving it so far. Works great for pour over, and now I can do all of our regular coffee and tea in one boil.
