It is hard to see the lid’s black-on-black small arrows to line them up We had to add our own w White Out. It took longer to bring to 200 than our last kettle (not a Cuisinart). There is no 202 option which is what we prefer for coffee - only 2005 or 200. If the kettle is at the full mark, it leaks out the front when pouring.

Great kettle-a nice design on the countertop, easy-to-use interface. The kettle heats up relatively quickly, though I do find that the kettle does not shut off on it's own after it reaches temperature, but continues to reheat. If I go to boil water and then walk away, it will essentially keep boiling forever. Perhaps there is a way to override this, but it might be my only criticism.

If you like pour-over coffee, you need one of these. I was just going to get a regular electric kettle but I saw this Gooseneck Kettle and figured why not get the best of both worlds. Very easy and precise to put the water just where it is needed. If you like pour-over coffee, you know that it is important to "Bloom" the coffee before adding a quantity of coffee. Works like a champ. Really easy to set the temperature for coffee. I use 205 degrees. Let's you know the actual water temperature and the target temperature. Works well with tea, also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kettle works really well and stands out, for us, for two reasons: the goose neck spout allows for a precision pour and the temperature control base. The latter heats the water to the temperature you desire and keeps it at that temperature by continuously reheating it. It also alerts you when the water initially reaches the set temperature. The temperature-setting controls are very simple and easy to use, and they work great for my wife and I: I drink coffee so desire my water to be hotter than what she wants for her tea, so whomever is making their breakfast beverage first just heats the water to the temperature they want and then resets the temperature to what the other prefers. We’re very happy with this kettle.

Liked all but one feature that is quite annoying and should be optional (be able to be turned off): the loud multiple beeping alerts. Every time a change in temp is made, and when the temp is reached. Ended up paying more for the Fellows that is wonderfully quiet. Donating the Cuisinart to a work space lounge where it can sonically compete with the microwave

I've been using a no frills kettle for over 10 years and wanted something with more bells and whistles. I wanted a goose neck for more control overs and something that would allow variable temp control. This does it all and I like the heat maintenance option as a bonus. It missed the 5 star mark because for the MSRP it should have a solid handle and if you place it back on the base without water it should be smart enough to turn off, where as this will throw an error code.

I bought the Cuisinart electric Gooseneck Kettle a month ago and I have used it multiple times everyday since I bought it. I love it. It's functionality is perfect. It looks great. It has all the bells and whistles you need, and it is a reasonable price.

I love the display with the current and tareget temperatures. The temperature is easy to set. The large mouth makes it easy to add water. Pours very well. The on switch takes a few seconds to function. Sometimes it gets in a situation where you think you have poured your tea and turned the device off, but it doesn't know it and it shows a funny error because the kettle is empty but it wants to heat. Power cyclinng does not help. you have to add water, water for the error to clear then pour the warer out. I quickly learned how to avoid this - make sure the "thermomete" icon beside the power is turned off and then power down.

I bought this several weeks ago and am very pleased. Our old hot water kettle had a crack in the plastic window and we were afraid it would fail. Plus we are trying to reduce our exposure to plastics and this was the highest rated kettle in Wirecutter that did not contain plastic. So we went for it. It heats up the water very quickly and another thing I love is that you can set the temperature based on what you are brewing. We used to just use boiling water for everything, but I’ve discovered that using water at temperatures specific for coffee and different types of tea really does bring out the flavor. And the gooseneck allows you to control the water flow much better. It also holds your temperature for a half hour, making refills easier. My wife wishes it held a little more water than it does, but I’m very pleased with 1 liter.

I would have preferred that the markings for Maximum and Minimum were on the side opposite the handle. It's a bit awkward filling it the way it is. The ability to adjust the temperature by single degrees, rather than in 5 degree increments, would be nice.
