Very good purchase that made the coffee pouring experience a bit better. Appreciate the quick delivery

Used it on my electric cooker. Handy and easy to use. Not heavy and good looking. Recommend.

Termómetro com leitura correcta da temperatura da água

I received this a few days ago and so far I'm very pleased. I got rid of my ancient whistling clunker years ago, and I am delighted at the change. This Wenegg kettle is a beautiful design, lightweight for easy handling, and well made. It has a slender pour over spout and a good gripping handle. The lid has a built-in thermometer that shows when the water is at boiling temperature. I've used it about 6 times already and the water heats in a few minutes. It's easy to pour and easy to clean and dry afterwards. I love having the thermometer so I can get an accurate idea of how hot the water is, which certain pour over coffee makers recommend. It definitely appears to be a high quality product, especially for the price.The lid fits snugly, and because of the materials and the thermometer inside, it will heat up along with the kettle. So when you are done pouring the water out of the gooseneck spout, remove the kettle from the heat and leave the lid on for a while until it cools. Once it's cooled, you can remove the lid to dump out any leftover water inside. (Or otherwise use thick oven mitts.)It comes with an excellent and simple instruction manual. (Even the manual is of high quality -- much more attractive, professional and substantial than most .... not a cheap folded piece of paper with tiny printing that no one can read or understand. All instructions are included.So I'm very happy with my kettle! Does the job, looks stylish, easy to maintain. I only wish I was as happy with my Aeropress coffee maker (that I bought this to accomodate)!P.S. Enclosing photos of the box, the kettle and the kettle lid.

So before I purchased this, I read the negative reviews. That is where some of the good info is sometimes hidden.I did find that there was a metallic smell that I associate with industrial metalworking lubricants. It resisted washing or boiling out, but a rinse with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol removed all traces of the smell.The spout WILL sputter if you allow a heat source to warm it. So if you have a gas burner, don't let the flames warm the spout. If the spout is not warmed, it cannot sputter, if the spout is warmed, it will empty the kettle in 4 or 5 minutes.There is a fero-magnetic ring in the bottom seam that is there so that induction cooktops can heat this kettle. That ring is probably steel wire, and /will/ rust. ALL stainless steel kettles will have a feature like this, and if you leave water and air touching that steel ring, some rust will form. This is normal, and you see it with most stainless steel that has rolled edges or rolled seams, there is steel wire in that roll 90% of the time. It does not mean your kettle is defective.As for the leaks commonly reported at the base of the spout, this is a simple compression joint, so that will be where this type of kettle will eventually fail if abused. But it could also leak from new if dropped in shipping. Don't try to twist or bend your spout in any way, as that will surely stress the jointy and cause a leak. The spout is why we buy this, but it is also the weak point.Just like the spout will sputter if you heat it, so will the handle, and the thermometer lens. The handle gets warm if you have your flame too high, and the thermometer lens is just standard polycarbonate, so excess heat will destroy it, but you have to be applying too much heat to cause that to happen. Some electric ranges won't have burners small enough for this kettle, and for gas you will need to use a small burner if you have one. For induction heating, none of these issues are present as problems.The thermometer... First of all, people ask if it is accurate... At room temperature, it is reading high by 6 degrees F. But at boiling, it is spot on. We care about the accuracy at near boiling, so calibrate based on that. Calibration or checking a thermometer is the easiest thing in the world to do, First find out your local altitude, and look up the actual boiling point for your altitude. Second get a bath of water and ice cubes, and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. That water/ice mixture will always be exactly 32*F/0*C, and the boiling point will always be that temperature that you looked up in the first step. These reference points are the source of any standards, and can be created without special lab equipment. Since I found the thermometer to not have a perfectly linear temperature responce at low temperatures, and because I'm most interested in the boiling point, I focused calibration on boiling only, and found it to be spot on. But to be clear, this is a fast rolling boil, the first signd of boiling occure was below boiling, so you want to look for the point where the temperature stops increasing, and a LOT of steam is coming out under pressure.And another comment on the thermometer, the green band... On most kettles this would be red or yellow, not green. You should be above or below green for making coffee, green marks the bad temperatures, not the desirable ones. Many pros suggest staying below the green, but in general for coffee being over the green works as well. Also, I always pour some water out before pouring into coffee, as the water in the spout could be colder than you are expecting, and depending on what you are making, that could be a significant amount of cool water for your pre-brew.The bottom line, this is a cheap kettle, and the better once are not better enough to justify the cost. All kettles like this are cheap, even if they have higher prices. The thermometer is handy as it can tell me how long I will be waiting.I expect it will start leaking the first time it is dropped, or some young person tries to twist or bend the spout... but I would expect the same from more expensive brands.Would I buy it again if/when it starts leaking, probably yes (though I may try to silver braze to seal the leak instead of replacing it).
