Bonavita 1-Liter Variable Temperature Digital Electric Gooseneck Kettle

From Amazon.com $90

This thing is amazing. This is my new favorite kettle. I have gotten used to the Pino Digital Kettle Pro (see this) and the heating up of water sounding like a jet taking off. The Bonavita is very quiet, something I now can appreciate after owning the Pino for several years. The pore from the gooseneck spout is laminar and aesthetically pleasing. The one thing I would have liked is a slightly larger capacity as my normal morning sessions typically use a little over 1 L, the larger option that is available does not have the gooseneck spout. I highly recommend this to anyone thinking of getting an electric kettle.

Pino Digital Kettle Pro Malfunction

Beware if you have Pino Digital Kettle Pro. The plastic handle is hollow and steam can condense in it and drop into the bottom (yellow circle) right next to where all the electronics and heating element are. This caused the wire shown below to corrode over the two years I have used mine on a daily basis. It eventuallyy stopped working and arc a bit when I tried to jiggle it to get it to work. I finally took it apart and easily found the cause. Luckily I was able to get a replacement wire and connector and put it back in service.  Bad designning by the people at Pino. The repair has been working great for about three months now.
