I bought an electric kettle

https://lemmy.zip/post/54686075

Does anyone make a good kettle that has variable temps? Seems like most are on or off.

EDIT: Just gonna throw this here since a bunch of people were so helpful. Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll have to check them out and post back here once I decide.

We have a Fellow Stagg EKG for pour overs, and it works great.

If the gooseneck spout isn’t your cup of tea, it looks like they have a standard spout version too.

The prices are not for the faint of heart.

Plus, with WiFi updates, Corvo EKG Pro evolves with your brewing needs, keeping your kettle up to date for consistent, top-tier performance.



What the actual fuck…

Why does a fucking kettle need wifi? What is complicated about boiling fucking water?! We’ve been doing this for millennia.

Uh, the one we have doesn’t do any wifi. Turn the dual to set the temp and push it to heat to temp. Maybe that’s what the “pro” stuff is about? And agreed, that’s absolutely silly.
Ok, yeah, definitely had an update since we bought a couple years ago. At least it looks like the wifi stuff is for firmware updates only.

Why does a kettle need firmware?! It does one thing. Heat water. It turn electricity on when water is below a temperature.

Unless physics is getting updates on a regular basis, there is no good reason for a kettle to need anything except electricity.

I’m just throwing out there homekit integration and automation. You can open your door home from work and the kettle starts boiling. Or heats up before you get downstairs for morning coffee.

Niche, but not useless.
