Kettles, kettles, and more kettles.  John F talks up the Takahiro kettle (.9 liter, stainless steel, reputed to be the best kettle on the market for its ability to control the pour).  Thought we would get a road show going:
^  $12 entrance fee
^  Buys you one week with the kettle ("I wonder if I really need a decent kettle for pourovers...) and
^ a 10% chance of being the winner to keep it (Jim Spain has his wife pick a number -- that number goes to the end of the list and gets it last).

Jump aboard.  Need 10 entrants?  Who is in?  I will order it, put it in the lineup on Jan 25 for our throwdown, and ship it on after it competes:

Entrants:
1)  Bekeld, paid
2)  BozemanEric, paid

3)  Yakster, paid
4)  MMW, paid
5) Jimbo, paid
---
7) RGRosz78, paid
Eight)  HeadChange4U, paid

9) Pozzka, paid
10) FFFolks, paid
11) B|Java

Winner:
6) Jano, paid

In, please. There is no way a kettle could be this wonderful, so have to test it.

I thought I got ripped off when I paid $50 for the Hario. I must see what a $120 kettle can do. Do you want PayPal now or when we get ten?

These threads are currently talking me out of messing with pour overs at all, even on sale and red;)

I love my Hario, but ... count me in.
