This got way nerdier than I initially thought it would. I hope you enjoy it, and do let me know if your experiences with these kettles match mine or differ in some way!

    James Hoffman getting upset with a square lid is the premium content I'm here for.

    “I don’t want to stroke my kettle.” Well said, well said.
  • @mrgonz
    As a Fellow kettle owner, can attest you won't need a second kettle for flow rate. It easily pours 1lt/sec through the lid for French press or self defence purposes.

    This got way nerdier than I initially thought it would. best way to describe this whole channel, really :)
  • @iztimetwo9887
    "You ca't make water hotter than 100C ...at sea level" is a JH classic
  • @sergiocxavier
    There is an important test not seen in the video: temperature accuracy for each of the kettles.

    I think the Felicita’s square lid is a feature, not a bug. It makes it much easier to perform my daily boiling of the kettle lid.
  • @eyesofnova
    I bought the Bonavita about 2 months ago after my cheapo electric kettle decided to stay on all night with no water in it and melted the plastic bottom, which I feel extremely lucky that it didn't set my kitchen on fire. Seeing James say the Bonavita was the benchmark really made me happy that all the research I did on electric gooseneck kettles paid off. James has helped me make a better cup of coffee over the last year after starting off with a french press, then convincing me to move to a pour over. Thank you James, if I ever find myself in the UK wherever you may live, it would be an honor of mine to buy you lunch.
  • @Raiden_N7
    I enjoyed James dropping the lid into the kettle way more than I should have.

  • @sabariahsayang
    I love this video so much. The data, the frustration, the fact that this is a video comparing kettles. I love all of it.
  • @markul199
    “At sea level” Yes, just yes….this is what I came here for.
  • @Frustratedfool
    The laminar flow breakup point seems really important if pouring your v60 from a stepladder.
  • @trevor6358
    I use my home Bunn machine's carafe. Pours surprisingly well and the water is always instantly hot. I use it as intended for drip coffee if I'm making for a lot of people AND the whole machine is about the same price as these 👍 I do love these over the top specific gear review videos though, always informational and enjoyable.
  • My family has the Bonavita 1L and 1.7L. I feel like your descriptions of the Bonavita is spot on. It was the best quality for our budget and we use it for pour over coffee, classic European tea brewing, and gong fu tea brewing. It works very well. My wife even bought the non-electrical version for watering plants because she likes the way they pour.
