Perfect for my Chemex!
This kettle was bigger than I expected from the pictures, but this doesn't change the way I love this product! I just made my first cup of coffe with my new kettle and my Chemex (8 cup). The coffee tastes incredible! The temperature boiled to the perfect temp and stayed hot in the kettle for quite some time after. It looks dashing on my countertop and feels sturdy. This is worth the money, I'm so happy I bought this after reviewing many other options beforehand.

We bought this kettle on May 25th 2020, and used it once or twice a day, by October 31st 2020 it was leaking badly around the temperature gauge down the front of the kettle, and was useless. Currently making a warranty claim, but this is really disappointing for a Russell Hobbs kettle.
Update: Good luck making a warranty claim for this kettle. They didn't have a replacement so said they would send a refund check in 4 to 6 weeks (why so long???). Ten weeks later no check received, so I contacted them only to be told it had never been issued but they would now process it. Also said "At this time time we are uncertain how long it will take for the issue to be processed and sent out". I don't anticipate receiving it, but I won't let it go, even it takes all year. The worst product and customer service from what is supposed to be a quality brand. NEVER AGAIN.
Update: I got so mad about this I wrote an old fashioned letter to Spectrum Brands CEO. About a week later, I got my refund check, and a message from a customer service manager acknowledging my letter and apologizing for the 'unacceptable' delay, and stating they had 'put measures in place' to make sure it wouldn't happen to others.
