I hear you.  I have had those mental debates on more than one occasion.

Just two folks to go.  Hustle.

Sure, I'll bite.

This is a stovetop model correct?

I'm glad this will get done.

I'm very happy with the Tak but don't have anything to compare it to. It will be interesting to see some additional comparison points.

For me it is worth the price because I never purchased another kettle to add to my overall expense...total upgrade avoidance.

I'm interested to see some opinions...

Yes, stovetop model.  We need one more and the roadshow begins.

OK, fine feathered friends.  There are 11 of us.  The kettle is ordered and on the way.  It will make its debut at our pourover throw-down on Friday, Jan 25th.

Costs:


1)  If you are comfortable using "personal" tab on PPal, send me $11.66 in cash.
2)  If you are more comfortable paying with "purchase" tab, send $12.31 to cover the fees.

Send it to boldjava at sidewalkmystic dot com.  Once all have paid, I will have Bro' Spain ask Patti to pick a number, 1-11.  The selected winner goes to the bottom of the list and gets to keep it.

The rest of you?  Keep it for about a week and put it through its paces.  Reviews appreciated.

Thanks, B|Java

I am a PayPal novice. Will someone explain to me what the personal tab is and why I might not feel comfortable using it? 

I used the personal tab. I noticed it said I would not be charged the $.63 if I had my bank account linked to it. Do you all have your bank account linked to PayPal? The card I have linked is a debit card, but I feel a little uncomfortable giving them my full bank account information. Should I feel uncomfortable or is it completely relatively safe?

When sending a payment as "Personal" through Paypal you avoid the fees but you lose all the purchase protection guarantees that normally come along with a regular Paypal transaction. That's why you never send anything via Personal unless you really trust the individual on the other end (like Dave for example). If the deal goes bad you are basically SOL using the Personal payment option..

1.  Email received - kettle is boxed and will be in UPS's hands by 5pm - we are all about to Foster'ings.
2.  PM sent to Jim Spain to have Patti pick a number.

Stay tuned, America.
