Degree-level temperature control is the point, and it is a real one: green tea brewed with boiling water is bitter because the leaf scalds above about 80 degrees, and pour-over coffee wants 92 to 96 rather than 100.
Full details →Who the Wüsthof Classic 7-Piece Wooden Knife Block Set is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting knives that survive hard kitchen use and can be sharpened for decades.
Avoid it if: Anyone who wants the longest-lasting edge -- harder Japanese steel holds one longer, at the cost of chipping.
Who the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle is for
Buy it if: Pour-over coffee and loose-leaf tea drinkers who want brewing temperature exactly right.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a general household kettle -- 0.9 litres and a slow gooseneck pour is not that.
