I was hesitant to pay so much for something that is going to do one thing… boil water over a heat source. I was looking for a certain aesthetic to look at home with my gear and this delivered. It really is very well made. The price had me looking for alternatives, but I always went back to this one. Finally purchased one and when it arrived I felt the price was justified. There are several cheaper kettles on the market, but the simple thoughtful features engineered into this one is worth your consideration.Ok, they don't make things like this anymore. This really is a beautiful piece. The quality of the metal and workmanship is outstanding. From the design of the pouring spout lid, to the stops on the handle to prevent sway or the super clean welding, it really is amazing! I can honestly say that I haven't purchased anything in a long time that is as quality as this kettle, I was completely blown away.This thing is beautiful. A work of art sitting on my stove. Gonna be taking it on a road trip for a few months (that's what I bought it for). Time will tell if it is a $100 value, but I can't imagine this thing failing me anytime soon. It is SO well made.My favorite kettle. Design is flawless. Welds are impeccable. As others have said, this is a true work of art. It should last forever. Family heirloom quality lol. I will pass this down to my grandchildren.Not worth $$$. Takes a long time to boil, and is too hot to touch without oven mittens or towel.I tested it after a month so I can’t return it now.Perhaps a thicker clad bottom and heat resistant handles would help.Just Great!... stainless artwork designed with performance details to fit it's purpose expect next model in titaniumI don't know where to begin to explain how great I think this kettle is! There are so many little design details that make this the perfect campfire kettle. It is conceived, designed and made in Japan with Japanese stainless steel, and all these are definitely features in my book. All the joints are (spot) welded (or riveted) and even the spout has been welded on (as opposed to soldered-on; soldering is a vastly inferior attachment technique). The spout flap is a clever feature and it keeps ashes out. It also keeps dust and insects out e.g. if you leave the kettle standing outside overnight. However when you are ready to pour then the spout-flap clips onto the lid, which keeps the lid shut and the spout open: great! Note that gloves are recommended for this! Inside the body there is a baffle to make sure that water pours out of the spout and not the lid (have you ever been frustrated with e.g. a teapot when the water also pours out from the lid instead of just the spout? Well this potential problem has been eliminated with the baffle). Furthermore, there is a little hole in the lid which serves two purposes: it emits a nice visible jet of water vapour to signify boiling. Also during pouring the hole allows the influx of air which avoids the potential build-up of a vacuum inside (which could cause erratic pouring). Regarding the hanger loop: stops are in place to make sure that the loop doesn't fall forwards over the spout when pouring. Additionally, if suspended from the loop then the loop-stops also insure that the kettle can tip forwards to pour; but not backwards. The lid has a tab at the back allowing opening with a thumb-press (which means one handed opening for e.g. filling), and then the tab also limits the movement of the lid so that it stays open but can't land on top of your hand. Very simple but so very functional! The shape: a 'tall' kettle makes sense for campfire use i.e. if you are going to place a kettle into a fire (with its base flat on the ground) then the majority of heat will not be coming in through the bottom-surface: instead the most heat will be coming in through the side-surfaces. In this sense the shape is perfect for using the kettle in a fire (as opposed to using it over a fire). Obviously you can still use it 'over' a heat source; however then perhaps a flat and broad bodied kettle would be slightly more efficient. Anyway, if you like kettles and campfires then I can't recommend this kettle enough. Final thought: the specified capacity of 1.8 litres is not a useable volume (1.8 fills the kettle to the brim of the spout). I find that 1.6 is a more practical working capacity.高価なので購入には躊躇しましたが、満足いく商品でした。焚き火の煤汚れや焼け色も良い風合いが出ます。コーヒーのドリップも専門のケトルには劣るものの十分に細く注げると感じました。また、後日メラミンスポンジで磨いたところ良いか悪いか煤も焼けもすっかり綺麗に…気にする方はまめに磨けばピカピカのまま使えそうですね。ただただ美しい。私にはそれだけ。でもそれだけで充分。大きくて、重さもあるので、機動性を重視するキャンパーには向かない商品だと思います。私も軽量コンパクトが自分のキャンプスタイルなのですが、この商品は見た目に惹かれて買ってしまいました。ただお湯を沸かすだけのケトルにかけるには躊躇する値段なので、他に類をみないフォルムにひかれるか、snow peakerでないなら買うことのない商品なのではないかと思います。重くかさばるので、お湯をあまり使わない夏のキャンプにはわざわざ持っていきませんが、荷物が多くなる秋以降のキャンプでは、その増える荷物にしのばせて持って行っています。秋から冬にかけては特に、焚火にあてておくだけで新たに燃料を使わず1.8lのお湯ができるのはありがたいので、ごみの入らないように注ぎ口に蓋ができる本商品は、そういった面でも良いかもしれません。ただ、ガスで温めた方が早くしっかりお湯が沸く感じはしますし、焚火の汚れを落とすのが面倒なので、私は初回焚火で使った以降はガスで使っています。汚れを気にしない方は、焚火にあててお湯をわかす姿を眺める楽しみも増えると思います。どんな形にしろ、あるだけで心を満たしてくれる商品だと思います。見た目に惹かれて購入しました。キャンツー用に買いましたがバイクで行かれる方には少し大きいかな？と思います。値段は少し高めですがそれ相応の価値がある物です。私に届いた物は何故か注ぎ口がロックできず、自身で曲げるのも怖いため星一つ減らしました。この値段帯の物であればしっかり確認はして欲しいですね、、。ケトルを探していて、焚き火してる最中に、火にかけられるものをと探していました。様々なメーカーから出ていますが、もうロジックとかでなくて、ただただかっこいいんです。これwおススメです。スノーピークのブランド価値はあるのだろうが、値段相応の価値があるかと問われれば疑問である。ヤカンとしての使用なら、底面積の広い物をお勧めする。
