原文:I have used a Chemex to make coffee for over 50 years. Last fall I got lazy and bought a Brazen Plus, which did not meet expectations (see my Amazon review) and so I returned to my roots and have been using the Chemex again for several weeks. I decided to purchase a variable temperature kettle to
make the pour over process easier, and saw this product (1.7L) and the smaller version (1L) on Amazon. I opted for the larger version which has several advantages. The larger capacity gives greater flexibility and can handle a 6, 8 or 10 cup Chemex. It has a water level gauge under the handle, so it is easy to fill to the correct amount if you do not need the full capacity. It has a plastic top which opens easily by pushing a button, and which avoids the rust problem associated with the removable metal top of the smaller kettle.In terms of use, during the past couple of weeks, it has been flawless. Setting the target temperature is easy even for an old codger. The indicated temperature is, to borrow a phrase from Mona Lisa Vito, "dead on balls accurate" when measured with a Thermapen. Accurate pouring is amazingly easy because of the kettle's excellent balance and the gooseneck. For making coffee in a Chemex, there is simply no comparison to a standard electric kettle (I have used several over the years). It takes a bit of time to heat up, but no longer than the Brazen Plus. I fill it to the 1.25L mark for my 6 sup Chemex (capacity = 30 oz. of coffee) and it takes about 5:30 to reach 200 degrees. After each pour you just replace the kettle on the base and push the hold button and it maintains the set temperature.Because I have only used the kettle for a couple of weeks, reliability remains an unknown. Other reviewers have commented on the plastic top breaking. If I have issues in the future I will amend this review, but so far the kettle is a winner in every department. If you make coffee using a pour over method, I highly recommend this product.

译文:我使用Chemex制作咖啡的时间已超过50年。去年秋天,我买了Brazen Plus,但Brazen的质量让我有些失望(参见我的亚马逊评论),所以我回到初始,在几周之内一直使用Chemex。我决定购买一台温度可调的水壶,使倒入过程更容易。我在亚马逊上看到这款产品(1.7L)和更小的版本(1L)。我选择了优点更多的大型号水壶。容量大的水壶,灵活性也更高,可以倒6杯、8杯或10杯。手柄下有一个水位计,所以如果你不需要装满的话,也能轻而易举地装入所需要的水的容量。它有一个塑料顶部,按下按钮就能打开,这一功能避免了与小水壶顶部可拆卸金属相关的生锈问题。
在使用方面,在过去几周里,一切无可挑剔。老人也能轻而易举地设定目标温度。借用蒙娜丽莎维托的一句话,用Thermapen测量时,指示温度非常精确。由于水壶优良的平衡性以及鹅颈的设置,水壶易于倾倒。使用Chemex制作咖啡时,与普通电热水壶根本没有可比性。Chemex需要一点时间来加热,但加热时间不会比Brazen Plus长。1.25升可以倒出6杯,大约需要5分钟半才加热到200度。每倒一次后,您只需更换底座上的水壶并按下按钮就能保持设定温度。
因为我只用了几个星期的水壶,可靠性仍然是一个未知数。其他评论家评论塑料顶部会坏。如果将来会出现问题,我会修改这篇评论,但到目前为止,水壶的各个部件都很完美。如果您使用倾倒方法制作咖啡,我强烈推荐此产品。
