Mecity - Electric Gooseneck Kettle Pour Over Kettle Fast Heating ±1℉ for Coffee, Tea and Formula, Auto Shut-Off, 1200W, 0.8L, Matte Black, Barista Edition

THIS BOILS VERY QUICKLY, OFFERS GREAT DEGREE CONTROL, AND LOOKS VERY SLEEK. NOW, THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE REQUIRED '3 SECOND PRESS' TO TURN THE UNIT OFF COMPLETELY. AT FIRST, I DECIDED TO JUST QUICK-TAP THE HEATING BUTTON TO TURN THE HEATER OFF AFTER USAGE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THIS BUTTON INTERACTS WITH THE 'HOLD HEAT' BUTTON, WHICH I ALSO USE, IT WOULD FAIL TO TURN THE KETTLE OFF. BUT I WOULDN'T NOTICE THIS, AND I WOULD SIT DOWN AND HEAR CRACKING NOISES FROM THE KETTLE AND REALIZE I HAD PUT THE EMPTY KETTLE BACK ON WITH THE HEAT STILL HIGH. THIS IS OF COURSE VERY NO BUENO FOR THE KETTLE, TO APPLY HEAT TO EMPTY KETTLE. NO BUENO. SO, CONFOUND IT, IN THE INTEREST OF CARING WELL FOR THE KETTLE AND TO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN, I DECIDED I WOULD SIMPLY COMMIT TO LONG-PRESSING THE 'OFF' BUTTON EVERY TIME I USE IT. NOW, THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE A MINOR ISSUE - WHAT'S 3 SECONDS IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS? WELL, I'LL TELL YOU. I MAKE COFFEE IN THE MORNING, TEA ONCE OR TWICE DURING THE DAY, AND OFTEN TEA AT NIGHT. SO 3-4 USES PER DAY. THAT'S 9-12 SECONDS I MUST SPEND LONG-PRESSING THIS DEVICE PER DAY. LET'S USE 10 AS A NICE ROUND NUMBER. THAT'S 70 SECONDS PER WEEK, 3640 SECONDS PER YEAR, AND ASSUMING I LIVE ANOTHER THIRTY YEARS OR SO, THAT'S 109,200 SECONDS OF LONG-PRESSING THIS STUPID BUTTON THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF MY LIFETIME. NOW THAT'S 1820 HOURS, OR ABOUT 75 DAYS OF MY ENTIRE REMAINING LIFE ON THIS EARTH OF LONG-PRESSING THIS OFF BUTTON JUST TO ENSURE I DON'T LEAVE THE KETTLE ON HIGH HEAT WHILE EMPTY. NOW THAT BOTHERED ME QUITE A LOT INITIALLY. THAT'S SO MUCH TIME IN MY LIFE I COULD SPEND DOING MORE IMPORTANT THINGS, LIKE LOOKING AT MY PHONE OR SITTING IN MY ARMCHAIR OR WATCHING TV OR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. BUT INSTEAD, I HAVE TO STAND LIKE A DWEEB FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS A DAY LONG-PRESSING THIS DEVICE TO TURN IT OFF. OVER TIME, THAT ADDS UP! I WAS GOING TO GIVE THIS KETTLE 4 STARS FOR THIS REASON. BUT LISTEN. I TRIED TO CHANGE ATTITUDE. I BEGAN SPENDING THOSE 3 SECONDS EACH LONG-PRESS THINKING ABOUT LIFE. I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT THE MEANING OF LIFE. AND, NO, I HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT YET, BUT I THINK GIVEN THE THOUSAND-PLUS HOURS OF LONG-PRESSING THIS BUTTON THAT I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE COMING DECADES, I MIGHT ACTUALLY JUST BEGIN TO DISCOVER SOME REAL, DEEP MEANING IN LIFE FROM THE CUMULATIVE 3-SECOND LONG PRESS MEDITATIONS. AND, I LIKE TO THINK THAT THIS RE-ORIENTING OF THE USE OF THIS TIME MAY JUST YIELD GREATER 'DIVIDENDS' THAN SCROLLING POLITICAL CONTENT OR WATCHING VIDEOS OF BABIES OR CATS. BUT, ONLY TIME WILL TELL. BUT THIS MUCH I CAN SAY, THE MECITY ELECTRIC KETTLE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE ALREADY, CAUSING ME TO LEARN TO SLOW DOWN, TO TAKE TIME TO THINK, TO MEDITATE, TO PONDER THE DEPTHS OF LIFE AND THE MYSTERIES THEREOF. AND FOR THAT, I HAVE THE PERHAPS ADEQUATE UX ENGINEERS OF THE MECITY ELECTRIC KETTLE TO THANK. 5/5 STARS

Hardly used 2, or 3 times but it stopped working.. really disappointed

Puedo programar la temperatura que quiera, cambiar entre grados farenheit y celsius, mantiene la temperatura, calienta extremadamente rápido, no he visto inconsistencias en mis cafés al usar una misma temperatura, es bonita, la verdad que por el precio creo que hay pocas opciones que puedan compararsele.

Not Good

Estoy impresionada! Me pudo fascinar, calienta súper súper rápido, mantiene la temperatura, es fácil de usar. La estoy amando!
