OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Kettle: What to Know
At 1.75 liters, this is one of the larger capacities among the five kettles covered here, and it's built around a clear borosilicate glass body rather than the all-metal construction most gooseneck kettles use. That glass body lets you see the water level and watch it heat, though it also means the kettle should be handled with the same care as other thermal-shock-rated glassware.
Temperature is set with a single dial and shown on a backlit digital display. OXO's own materials and several retailers describe the adjustable range as running up to 212F, though the published lower bound varies somewhat between sources -- some list it around 170F, others closer to 104F -- so it's worth checking the current listing if a specific low temperature matters to you. Once at temperature, the kettle holds it for about 30 minutes, and the 1500W element is rated to bring a full tank up to heat reasonably quickly, though OXO does not publish an exact boil-time figure.
Because the spout is a standard pour spout rather than a gooseneck, this kettle is better suited to filling a teapot, French press, or multiple mugs than to the slow, controlled stream a pour-over dripper wants. Buyers who specifically want gooseneck pour control for coffee should look at the Fellow or COSORI kettles in this guide instead.
