Uh, the one we have doesn’t do any wifi. Turn the dual to set the temp and push it to heat to temp. Maybe that’s what the “pro” stuff is about? And agreed, that’s absolutely silly.
I’m just throwing out there homekit integration and automation. You can open your door home from work and the kettle starts boiling. Or heats up before you get downstairs for morning coffee.
We have a Fellow Stagg EKG for pour overs, and it works great.
If the gooseneck spout isn’t your cup of tea, it looks like they have a standard spout version too.
The prices are not for the faint of heart.
What the actual fuck…
Why does a fucking kettle need wifi? What is complicated about boiling fucking water?! We’ve been doing this for millennia.

Ok, yeah, definitely had an update since we bought a couple years ago. At least it looks like the wifi stuff is for firmware updates only.
Why does a kettle need firmware?! It does one thing. Heat water. It turn electricity on when water is below a temperature.
Unless physics is getting updates on a regular basis, there is no good reason for a kettle to need anything except electricity.

Niche, but not useless.
I know…stove plus kettle. Preferably an old kettle someone left you. Keep it dull.
