Pourover Kettle Thread

[BoldJava]

...
The only one left is whether I need/want a Bonavita Electric so as to eliminate the transfer and heat loss in going from the Aroma to the Buono.
The Bonavita is in my "cart" at Amazon along with a Hario Range Server....
Question is whether or not these will be my Xmas to myself....:-))))

Let me help you get off the fence....buy it... if speed is your issue.  If not, just fill that Buono to the tip top and use the 15 minutes for a morning reflection.

If somebody did a roadshow on the Bonavita I'd be down for doing a side by side with vid comparison.

I'd also forfeit my chance to win it if that matters but I can't make myself drop $40 on it because I know I don't need 2 kettles.

I also giggled when I did it. 

We need pictures.....
of the giggling.....:-))))

What exactly does it take to set up the roadshow?
I don't think I can do the vid part, but I'd be willing to get the rest of the set up set up if someone will give me some pointers....

B|RoadShow can correct me but I believe it is just a matter of sourcing the item, setting up a new thread advertising the road show, having 10 or so people sign up and pay their proportionate cost of the kettle, then you keep it a week or so, evaluate it, post your evaluation, move the kettle to the next one on the list, and sometime during all this you put the participants names into a hat and blindly draw the winner.

You may switch the steps up so that it makes better logistical sense.

I think this is it in a nutshell.

That sounds right.
I can do that....
New thread coming up.

Thanks MP.

Put me in the lineup when you do it.

I'm glad to do the comparison to help us understand the differences and help members make a choice.

This is the kettle I have been using with my Kone version 1 and 10 cup Chemex.
Very little control, holds almost 50 ounces, and I paid $4 at a local resale shop.
The pictured one is not mine, but it is identical to mine.  May be time to step up
my pourover game and move to something that offers a bit more control.

Thanks for the suggestion Chris.  I just finished looking
at the Oneida, and if a restrictor is going to be placed in the spout,
it will need to be placed from the tip of the spout .
Inside the vessel, where the neck opening is, there is a built-in restrictor,
that has 24 holes ( smaller then a shoelace eyelet).  Not sure how to restrict
water flow except covering up some of the holes.  Can't come up with any
idea on how to do that that doesn't seem really jury-rigged or very time consuming.

Sooo, it is Christmas time, and I went ahead and purchased myself a small present.
Straight from Homeloo website and the shores of Hong Kong, hopefully it will be here before Christmas.

Toothpicks?

Yes I guess enough toothpicks might work, but I am sure that over the course of several uses they might work themselves loose.  Plus the opening at the top is such a small diameter, that it would be a bit difficult to get my hand down there to push the toothpicks into the holes with any type of force. 

But I think it would work, so thank you.

Humbug, teakettle with gooseneck ordered on 12/09 from Hong Kong arrives on Christmas Eve, but there appears to be no way to attach the handle.  Looks like bracket that should be welded on the "back" of kettle that handle would then screw into, is AWOL.

No way to attach handle!  Merry Christmas.   Looks like I will be using 'Ove Glove to pour as I hold the stainless steel body filled with 200* water.

JB Weld.

JB Weld.

I guess that is an option, but a last option.  Hoping to hear back from Mr Angus Chan as to how he advises I move forward on this issue.  Not like I can go down to the local shop owner and exchange it.  Good thing this wasn't a Christmas present for anyone important.  Just me...

[Richdel]

Still no reply from Mr. Angus Chan.,
