OK, #caffeineclub - I have seen the error of my ways.
I used to think those temperature controlled gooseneck kettles were only necessary if you were doing pour over coffee. Being a long time French press devotee, I thought it wouldn't benefit me much.
Oh, was I wrong. Having the water at exactly 205°F gives a very noticeable upgrade in flavor, with lovely crema to boot! I've been missing out!
My kettle:
KitchenBoss Electric Gooseneck... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2HVXH5Z

I know that Fellow EKG kettle is well-reviewed, but the Kitchen Boss has a slightly larger capacity and significantly higher wattage, and has the same level of temperature control. The EKG has a timer, but that was not worth the huge price differential in my opinion, and also I needed the larger capacity to brew my full press.
For $165, I would have expected the EKG to be made in the US, but it's made in China just like the Kitchen Boss.
@voltronic good to know. I liked my Cuisinart before it died, and it had a huge capacity.

@voltronic 1,000% I use an #AeroPress and Cafe Bustelo to make my morning cup of Joe. Having the right temperature so as to not make the coffee bitter, and not letting it steep for too long, I do no more than 30 seconds - has been a GAME CHANGER! For the first time in my 50+ year life I experienced black coffee that tasted good! I have a temp controlled gooseneck kettle, a must have!!!
@voltronic I have a Cosori kettle. Pretty inexpensive, I think $60 on Amazon, and has been fantastic the last three years. #Coffee #CaffeineClub #aeropress
@voltronic thanks, just another reason for me to think about a Fellow kettle!
