    Update time..It has not even been 3 months and this morning the welded joint on the gooseneck of my Bonavita cracked and hot water went everywhere. I love the functionality but the quality is terrible. In saying that, I won't be ditching the product. It's too useful. If I can get it replaced with zero troubles then why bother complaining I can only hope they do a better job of manufacturing these in the near future.

      that's an OH&S issue right there. I see plenty of cafes with a bonavita on their bench and this kinda fault screams for home use only

        Yes I agree and I certainly hope this was just a rare incident. The welding on my replacement is much cleaner. I now realise that my last one was probably dodgier than others and I didn't even realise it had no flow restriction. It poured really fast whereas I can't picture using my new one for anything other than tea or coffee. The flow is very slow but that works well for me.

          Has anyone used the electric Hario Bueno? I'm wondering if it'd have similar issues to the bonavita. If only it had temperature control, too.

            Have owned and regularly used a standard Buono kettle for a couple of years and not a sign of a blemish of any kind to be found anywhere.

            Does it have to be Electric? The standard one works extremely well with an Induction cooktop, we just use one of the small (cheap) portable ones, which can hold the temperature of the kettle at ~90C after boiling, until such time as you're ready to use it. Very handy when using any kind of manual brewing method...

              I guess it doesn't have to be electric. Just that the bonavita seems so convenient!
