Reply to comment by ConBroMitch in BIFL kettle recommendations by Batking28

I’m in the market for a stovetop kettle. Do you recommend any in particular?

Depending on your style (in no particular order) and if you want a whistler or not.

  1. Alessi
  2. Demeyere
  3. Richmond Kettle company (I mean, wow, I you can swing that, this is the BIFL answer it’s a work of art)
  4. Takasaki

I opted for the Demeyere, it was on sale last year at way too good of a price to pass up. It’s 18/8 stainless steel, should last several lifetimes.

There are also a ton of vintage options if that’s your thing. I’m just less familiar with those.

Every time I use my Hario V60 Gooseneck, I'm amazed by its elegance and it's durability. 10 years on and still going strong, I could not say the same for the Le Crueset it replaced (enamel failure).

Holds 1.4L, full stainless steel construction, outside of the handles, and the gooseneck provides precision pouring for all your pour-over/chemex coffee needs.
