Tea Kettle with Thermometer for Stove Top Gooseneck Kettle, Pour Over Coffee Tea Pot, Goose Neck Tea Pot Stovetop, Hot Water Heater for Camping, Home & Kitchen, Stainless Steel - Small 28oz

Wonderful kettle! Heats water quickly- handle stays cool.

I was looking for a small size stainless teapot and this is perfect and meets my needs. It heats the water quickly and I really like the temperature gauge. There are no leaks and it pours the water without making a mess. I found it a bit difficult to remove the lid so I filed the bumps on the lid and that did the trick.

I think this pot is great. I read one review where the poster complained about the holes in the lid and said it was a stupid design. Too bad they didn’t pay attention in school so they’d understand how steam works. Another said his leaked. Mine doesn’t. Maybe how got the one made on. Friday afternoon. I don’t think it has anything to do with production. The water heats quickly. The thermometer is a great idea. The only criticism I can give is the way the handle is positioned, it gets hot from the burner. I use a oven mitt to pour. More of a nice to have vs a have to have for me. I’m keeping the pot so it must not bother me that much. I paid about $12 USD for mine. Definitely worth it

I bought two of these a few years ago and they have been great. But recently the thermometers on both of them have decided to pop loose. I keep putting them back under the rubber edging but the problem continues to occur. Would live to have a solution for this problem. Any ideas?

There's a lot to like about the Chefbar Tea Kettles Stovetop with Thermometer Gooseneck Kettle. It's a good size, small enough that it boils quickly. If you're trying to make enough coffee for a crowd you're probably not using a pour-over kettle anyway, so this small size correctly targets the 2-4 cups. I can pre-wet my filter, pour, and even rinse out the pot afterwards. The pouring action is smooth and controlled, and the kettle feels well balanced. Even full it's still light, and the handle is comfortable. I did notice the handle got hot if the kettle was centered over a gas burner, but by placing the kettle on the side of the burner with the handle entirely off of the flames it stayed a fine temperature. The handle didn't overheat at all on an electric stovetop. The biggest problem is one other reviewers have noticed: when getting anywhere close to a boil water will spurt violently out of the gooseneck spraying scalding water on your kitchen, your stove, and everything else in sight. I can't tell why some seem to have no issue with this while others do, but my best guess is that a high-heat flame burner creates larger bubbles while boiling? Maybe the kettle doesn't boil out the gooseneck if on a lower (slower) heat or on an electric range. SOLUTION: I spent about 5 minutes with a pen knife and a cork and make a stopper for the gooseneck which works perfectly. It will now boil without splashing. (It will still splash out the steam vent but only if filled to within an inch of the top.) This fix shouldn't be necessary, but it's a cheap and quick fix for an otherwise fine and inexpensive kettle. Certainly worth fixing over returning it! UPDATE: MROCO contacted me and offered another kettle to see if it had the same issue. The second one does splash a little, but only if I leave it boiling hard on a high heat. As long as I turn the heat off when it gets around boiling it's fine. 5 stars for customer service and 4 stars for a lightweight gooseneck kettle that is a pleasure to pour with.

EDIT: This kettle the thermometer thing today got stuck at 140 degrees, it has an 18-month warranty, but Amazon cannot help me, and there is no website for the product. I went on Amazon chat, and it refused to help me. Amazon sucks with warranty problems if there is no company to contact directly, and this Chefbar has no way to contact to them directly, nor anyway to contact MROCO.LLC the store that supposedly the Chefbar was sold out of. From now on I'm not buying anything off of Amazon where there might be a warranty issue if that company that made the product cannot be contacted directly with a warranty department. Shame on Amazon for changing how easy it used to be to have warranty adjustments made directly by Amazon, now they don't want to be bothered with warranties on products they sell that don't have a direct line to the actual company that made the product. If they do have a way to get stuff warrantied, they are making it far too difficult to find, I can't find it. .

I've been using this a couple months. It's worth the buy. Temperature guage, stainless steel, ergonomic handle and goose neck: it's a super deal. I scorched it once in a terrible milk chai idea - DO NOT attempt to make milk brews in this, the milk will boil over and burn in the pot very swiftly. It cleaned up just fine with some elbow grease and went back to duty. Water only! Be careful about opening the lid while it's hot. Sometimes I space out and let the temp go too hot. Then I stupidly open the hatch to cool the temp faster because I'm impatient. This pot retains heat very well and steam can burn, so just be patient and don't do what I've done lol. Or if you do decide to be stupid, use oven mitts and lean back. The hear retaining quality means water will stay warm between brews. I'm a big fan if multiple 8 oz cups back to back, so be careful refilling. I've gotten very deep into tea very fast, and even have "tea friends" many years into the hobby to help me search for kit. I'll say this, something of this quality for the price is probably the only buy short if a very pricey Breville temp control, automated brewer - that will be a $300 investment. I might get one some day, but really, I don't NEED that when I have this little kettle. This $30 product does a great job with just a bit of attention. I'll probably buy a spare for other places I travel too frequently.

I like it for several reasons and it's a good value. 2 flaws: (1) The thermometer/handle gets pretty hot & the lid is so tight that you really have use effort to get it off, to the point that it can be a little noisy; (2) if you fill it most of the way it boils out the spout a bit. Otherwise, I love the thermometer design because I'm sensitive to water that's too hot and particular for tea temps & it's great for certain functions. I appreciate the ergonomic handle for my arthritis & it doesn't get too hot fortunately, despite how little the kettle is. The non-splash spout is nice & I find it calming, and I appreciate not having to open & close it every time :)
