What are your favourite kettles and why?

I liked using my Bonavita Electric Kettle a lot when I had it. However, I like making coffee a lot throughout the day so I got tired of waiting for my kettle to heat up whenever I wanted to do a pour-over.

I ended up getting a Zojirushi Water Boiler and a Hario Buono kettle. The Zojirushi keeps about a gallon of water sitting at 208 degrees forever. I then just fill up the Buono with as much as I need, put it on top of our gas stove for like 15 seconds to get it to boiling (since it drops a bit below 208 when transferring to the kettle) and go.

I really like it, I use it for tea, hot chocolate, ramen, and other things as well. I can make back to back pour-overs for when I have guests over. I timed myself and made a cup of V60 in about 5 minutes from start to finish, including getting everything out and prepared, grinding, water, brewing and cleaning up after myself and putting it all away. Every minute counts in the morning before work!
