Dualit Pour Over Fast Boil Electric Kettle - Matt Black -Gooseneck Precision Spout - Digital Display Screen - Highly Energy Efficient 800ml Capacity - 72960

Are you're serious about coffee and have a proper grinder for beans you buy at your local artisan roastery that you then carefully weigh and bloom and set timers for etc etc etc. And you don't have a goose neck kettle? Resistance is futile. We've all been there.I tried making my daily V60 with a regular kettle but it's just no fun. It's not zen. It spoils the ritual. This little Dualit makes the ritual feel duly special. And it makes your kitchen look better too.It's an unexpectedly beautiful and delicate (in style) object, in the way appliances rarely are these days. It sort of justifies the price (you can tell yourself). Every time I use it, I get a bit of pleasure from it. From the sweet little lid, the subtle reversed-out display for the temperature, the mute button to stop it beeping, the super-quiet boiling, the delicate LEDs around the controls. It's really small and neat and actually quite adorable.Not perfect of course, what is? It's almost impossible to see the maximum fill level inside the kettle, which is a shame since the instructions say it's really, really important. The mute function is nice but f you switch off at the mains it forgets it. Grrr. And the action of the temperature knob doesn't feel all that positive. Also, if you set it to a temperature below boiling, it sort of sneaks up to that temperature quite slowly. For a full boil it's really fast.I'm prepared to forgive it a few foibles however. It pours beautifully and makes really nice coffee. I kind of like that it's not even pretending to be a regular kettle as well so you'll need both, oh yes. It feels special using this Dualit. I like it.

3.5 years later is still working smoothly.

Not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive. Does the job well and looks good. Controls/indicators take a little getting used to, e.g. what the display shows, with some things flashing vs. the lights on the buttons etc. It's just a bit of a mess but OK once you're used to it.The beeps aren't terribly loud so I'm not sure many would turn them off (the heating of the water is louder) so I'd trade that feature for some more positive indication that it is actually switched off / inactive.

This is a solid and well made kettle, with elegant curves and a silk black matt finish.It's very quiet in operation, so much so that initially you may think that it's not heating. However, once it has got going, there is some noise but this is far less than with most kettles.The slow start and the fact that it ramps the power down as it approaches its target temperature means that it is much slower than a conventional kettle, taking around 2 minutes to boil 300mL of water. The target temperature can be set anywhere between 38degC and boiling point. If the pause button is pressed during the heating process, the kettle will maintain the target temperature for 5 minutes once this has been reached.The electronic temperature control is very impressive, maintaining the target temperature to an accuracy of plus 1 and minus 1deg C even if water is used during the hold time.The only negative point is that for V60 use, it tends to pour too fast, but if you use a one person cafetiere or aeropress, it's ideal.The kettle draws a maximum power of 1.3Kw when heating and less than 1w on standby

This is an excellent gooseneck kettle, if a little small in volume (c. 800ml). It heats up quickly, allows you to choose a temperature by each degree celsius (rather than, say, by 5), and has a hold temperature function - which is very useful. However, for £89 you would expect these features in a kettle.This kettle is probably worth the extra you would pay over a cheap and cheerful gooseneck, and something like the Fellow Stagg does not deliver a better experience that the Dualit, making this (probably) the best kettle in this price range.I recommend it, and after 3 months it remains flawless.

I absolutely adore this little kettle - I wasn’t sure if it would be big enough, but it can easily do two or three mugs of tea and I rarely make more than that. It’s light, easy to handle and the spout has been a lifesaver for someone like me who has dyspraxia so can’t control the pour of regular kettles. So much easier to get the water where you want it! Love love love.

It does the job. The pouring spout is nice and it looks good. Reasonably quiet too.But it's just so fiddly. The number of button presses required to make it boil is nonsense. How did we get to a place where the simple one touch operation of a kettle has been designed out.It's so easy to press the button, assuming you've turned it on, only to discover you actually need another press or two.And it takes soooo long to get to temperature, crawling over the line as it slows down to avoid over boiling.Just a really poor user experience and bad design. Frustrating.

Nothing to fault. It’s very easy to use. Seems to heat water to 100 degrees almost as quickly a regular kettle. At <95 degrees the temperature can be held for up to 5 mins which is very useful. The pour is very nice and I enjoy using it for v60. If I’m being really picky, I would say it is not as “classy” looking as some other pour over kettles I’ve seen. But it still looks great.
