brim Temperature Control Electric Gooseneck Kettle with Capacitive Touch, Black

I've only had the kettle about a month so can't speak to it's durability but I can say that so far I like everthing about the kettle, with one minor exception. The kettle heats very fast. I never have to wait over 2 minutes to have 3/4 full kettle at 195 degrees. And I love the touch controls (like a smart phone). There are no "buttons" to worry about getting water into. The interface is very simple and smart. Pressing Temp will cycle between several pre-set temperatures. Just press until you get the temp that's closest to your desired temperature, then use the + or - controls to dial in you temperature. The next time you turn it on the temp shown will be the last one you selected. If, like me, you use the same temperature all the time you never have to set the temperature again.- smart. It has a function (Keep Warm) that will keep the kettle at or near your selected temperature for up to an hour. That's a very nice feature as I don't have to stand and watch the temperature. I just start the kettle and go do other things while it heats up and then it will keep it at that temperature until I return (up to and hour I think). If you want to boil water you just touch the Boil control. The only thing that is a minor complaint is the knob on the lid feels very flimsy and I'm afraid it may be easy to break but a knob is easy enought to replace so not a big deal. Like I said I can't speak to the kettle's longevity but aside from that I would recommend this little jewel to anyone. By the way, I thinks it's one of the best looking kettles also and I love the black finish - I have enough stainless steel to keep fingerprints off.

Nice goose neck kettle. Heats fast and looks pretty. Cord could be a bit longer.

Quick heating of water for tea or for pour over coffee. I love this product!

This is a nice kettle for the money. Just the right size for a couple of cups of coffee. Recommended with two minor caveats.First, the operation is less than intuitive. You press the temp set button until you get the temperature you want and then it just starts. There's no light or other indication that it's heating up until you see the temperature readout go up.Second, and more importantly, the lip around the top makes it impossible to pour all of the water out. Even if you turn the thing completely upside down, some water gets caught in that lip and falls back into the pot. If you want it completely dry, you have to stick a paper towel in there. Not ideal.Still, for the money, it works well. It fits nice in the hand and it's reasonably attractive. I bought it to keep at work and it's very suitable for that purpose.

3 Months of use Update:I am an avid tea drinker and I have three kettles in different rooms in my house. I know how to take care of a kettle. This kettle has not lasted 3 months. The inside is rusting. That is not limescale pictured, it's rust. I descale my kettles regularly and use only purified water, so I'm certain this is not limescale. It's also the notoriously brown color of rust. Additionally, I am getting an 'Err' message on my kettle daily now. I'm at the point where it will not function unless I unplug and leave it unplugged for ten minutes and then plug it back in. This thing is a headache.I went to the Brim website to see if I could get some warranty service, but the website is impossible to navigate. I can't find any information about a warranty or otherwise. SUPER disappointed in this product. Don't waste your money if you're a regular tea drinker, this kettle will die in a few months.***Good little kettle for a decent price. We’ll see how well it holds up with time. The temperature control is nice and easy to adjust. I like that the presets are easily adjusted with the up down - go to the preset and adjust up or down and keep it warm to maintain the temp. Some people have complained about the beep - I actually like it. It beeps when you do something. When keeping warm it’s silent.I already have a nicer kettle for my kitchen, this one is for my office so I was primarily looking for size and good temp control and this fits the bill. I’ll update on durability as I use it.

The media could not be loaded.  I just received it and did a quick video of my first few minutes getting it figured out and starting it up.It was packaged very well and includes a user manual and a insert more info about the company and where to learn more about them and the product.Aesthetically, it’s beautiful and perfect for my coffee bar area. Love the color and the slim shape.It seems to be easy to use and the touch screen on the dock is very responsive.It is weighted well and the handle is comfortable to use.I will update as I get some good use of it in the coming months.

I debated this purchase since I can easily heat water in a kettle or microwave…..I regret not making this purchase sooner. The kettle design prevents steam burn, splashing and is SO quick and convenient.

REVISION:I have upgraded my rating to 3 stars. After contacting the company I am expecting a replacement kettle soon. We’ll see how long it lasts!Completely stopped working. 15 months. For 15 months I have adored this kettle. I’ve used it to make coffee & tea a few times a day. Easy on & off. Easy presets. The temperature setting runs a few degrees high (I checked with a thermometer.) To compensate when making my coffee, I manually adjust the setting down a bout 3 degrees.HOWEVER, it has just started to get UNRELIABLE. Sometimes it won’t turn on & when it does, I can’t always set the temperature. Granted this was not the most expensive kettle I could buy but not the cheapest either. For the price, $65, I expected it to last a few years.
