Did an extensive review of glass and stainless pour over kettles to use with the Chemex my son got me for my birthday (James Bond has great taste!) Decided to give this a try as although the glass kettles look beautiful, knowing me before I have my coffee in the morning, I was pretty sure the glass pot would end up in pieces in my sink. I definitely wanted to give this Japanese made kettle by Premium Japan (one of my criteria being not to have another China-made product in my home) a thumbs up. I have used a French press and Aeropress (and will continue to use the Aeropress if in a hurry but the French press may be in my garage sale at the end of the month). The Chemex by far offers the best cup. I had been using the "measuring cup in the microwave" technique for pour overs...it worked, but not like the precision of the Fino. Apparently the controlled pour really does affect the brewing process...and I'm not a coffee snob by any means. This kettle with its narrow spout allows for a great controlled pour, is attractive, very well made, and although on the small side, definitely large enough for a couple of good sized cups of coffee. While it is true it does not whistle, I am right near it anyway preparing the filter and coffee for the pour over, so I did not find that to be a problem personally. The kettle arrived in two days (as always with Prime). Although the pot does get very hot to touch, of course, by the time you are done with your cup of coffee, it has cooled enough to run a towel through it to wipe up any leftover moisture should you be concerned about rust occurring. So, bottom line, I would definitely recommend this kettle by Premium Japan due to its quality, performance, attractiveness, and definitely price in comparison to similar products. Enjoy!!08/03/14: Just measured the amount of water the kettle I received from this product description which lists capacity at 6 cups. When measuring about 1 1/2 inches down from the brim (filling fuller may cause water to spurt out possibly when heating it would seem), I measured 20 oz -- so about two 10 oz cups. Keep this in mind if you are needing a kettle to serve more than 2 people at a time, unless you use very small cups. For one or two people, it should be fine. Heats quickly. I use it on medium high heat on a gas stove. Quite happy with it!
