Review on ☕ Hario V60 'Buono' Drip Kettle: Stovetop Gooseneck Coffee Kettle, 1.2L, Stainless Steel, Silver – A Sleek and Efficient Brewing Essential by Chad Sorensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suspicion of counterfeiting

I ordered an electric version of 0.8 l. According to Hario's product page, this kettle is actually made in China and I've noticed that some people say it's worth ordering to see if I have the real one. The inside of the teapot lid I received had an extremely rough texture and a matte grainy appearance that was very different from the polished stainless steel of other Hario teapot lids. The lid was also ferromagnetic, so I strongly suspect it's not stainless steel. The case wasn't magnetic, so it might actually have been stainless steel. However, I strongly suspect that I received a counterfeit item and am returning it. Buyers beware, I would recommend buying from a more reputable source.

Pros
  • Gives a pleasant feeling
Cons
  • So-so
