Nice Kettle

I am no expert on coffee making but I do enjoy making it with the Chemex. Hence the search for a gooseneck kettle. This is a decent kettle - good quality stainless steel, reasonably priced and nice looking with a good ergonomic handle. Originally I had to return the first product since they shipped it to me with both parts (body and cover) taped. The kettle was of course cleaned before use and no tape was visible. However over time after a few uses we noticed the markings of the tape and it started having a burnt smell. Amazon of course replaced the product. I've been using this for quite sometime now and found it to be decent. If you tilt it too much during pouring the water does burst out. However, unless you buy something with rubber in it to regulate the flow it probably will never be perfect. From a health perspective I am willing to forego the water regulation (since I don't want to drink from something with parts other than steel or glass). It also looks much nicer than other gator models out there. So far no rust after several months of use.
