The brewista is on sale on their site for $78.95 - probably plus shipping. I don’t see it on Amazon anymore. I’m interested because my Bonavita is acting up and I’d like to try something with better electronics. What I love about the gooseneck is the ergonomics of pouring. My sore shoulder healed within a week of shifting from a traditional tea kettle to the gooseneck.

Yes, I too noted the sale price from Brewista. I think the kettle design is better than a goose-neck for it allows for both rapid and slow pouring. On the electronics, the kettle uses a set of "relay switches?" that ease the water up to temperature. For example, if you want boiling water once it approaches boiling the kettle slows down the addition of heat so you do reach full boiling temperature without having the water come to a roiling torrent.Janice wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 2:23 pmThe brewista is on sale on their site for $78.95 - probably plus shipping.

I've used the kettle for two years now and am very pleased.
My Problem is, that I cannot find a 230V version of this. In china I only found the "Artistic" type of Brewista, but not this one. And on European sites, I cannot seem to find this model neither.Tillerman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 1:33 pmThis kettle isGREAT! I have been using for my own use and at tea festivals for a couple of years now. It is available online from Amazon or directly from the manufacturer. I see you are in China, do you not have access to these sites? I'll help if I can; PM and we can discuss.
Try Australia. I know that Tania Stacy has this kettle (which she too loves) so it might still be available there.Youzi wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 2:46 pmMy Problem is, that I cannot find a 230V version of this.

@Youzi On this site https://www.mybrewista.com/products/sto ... ure-kettle there is a link to an email address for orders outside North America. I'll see if I can get you Australia ordering information.
I just wrote them an email, thanks, I haven't seen that small textTillerman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 2:58 pmYouzi On this site https://www.mybrewista.com/products/sto ... ure-kettle there is a link to an email address for orders outside North America.

I'll ask them about the details, this kettle could be the dream kettle for Gong Fu, for the reasons you mentioned. Brewista is from the designer of the Bonavita Kettles, so I have high expectations for it.
@Youzi, here is an Australian site that carries the kettle in the 230V version.https://alternativebrewing.com.au/produ ... -variable/
Hello all! New here.
I LOVE iced tea. Recently I bought a Chefman Tea Kettle at Costco, model # RJ11-17-TI. I like it a lot. I have a few questions though, and the company doesn't seem to be (ahem!) answering their emails.
First, it holds 1.8 liters, but the owner's manual gives no indication at all how much tea to use. I am not going to bother with anything fancy or use loose tea leaves. I started off using one family sized Lipton tea bag, but that did not seem adequate, and most everything I have seen online seems to indicate one is not NEARLY enough for 1.8 liters. So I upgraded to two. That tasted a bit better. Do I go to three? Four? What do you all say is appropriate?
Secondly, the unit comes with an infuser device, which is to be removed before boiling the water and then inserted with the tea bags inside it once the water is boiled. Well, the infuser is somewhat difficult to get into the top, as the kettle cap only bends so far back, so you have to jiggle it in at an angle initially and then flip it downward, all while the boiling water is blowing scalding steam on you. If I'm using tea BAGS, is there any reason I should even bother with the infuser? Or can I just hang the tea bags over the side without it? And since the infuser diameter is limited, I can't really get more than two tea bags in it anyway, which limits my potential infusion. If I end up using 3 or more bags, I really can't even use the infuser. The manual just doesn't give you a whole lot of information, so I'm coming to you, the tea experts.
I appreciate any replies!

Gaaah, my beloved Bonavita Interurban 1L kettle showed some dead pixels on the screen. I'll have to RMA it to Amazon pretty soon. We had great memories and the tea exploration we had I'll never forget.
Hah! No, no promotion being done here. I just figured it was an easy username since I am not by nature a creative person. It hit me to use that since that was the nature of my question. Good question!
ok then... I would consider to at least open up the teabags. Being restrained twice doesn't help the flavour to come out. Not speaking of that taste coming from the bags.
Couldn't tell you how many, just try it. The bags are dirt cheap anyways, doesn't cost you much to run a few tests until you find what you like.
