I recently purchased some MHW-3Bomber gear for espresso (milk jug, wdt, scales) and have to say the build quality and design are superb. Kettle looks nice too!
It's such a shame that the MHW-3BOMBER branding is so stupid, I agree on assassin being a silly name, but the whole military branding is really appalling to me. I wish they rebranded or offered products without their logo anywhere because I'm not going to put stuff on display in my house that looks like it's meant for 12 year olds 🙈
I wish they made a higher capacity version because I love the spout design on this. It looks like you can get really close to the coffee bed on a V60 02.
I wish they'd reconsider their branding. I like...most...of their gear but the branding is so off. Also, their price point is creeping up to where they're no longer th budget option they used to be.
what did you mean that you bre funkier coffee with low temps? Anaerobics? Ethiopian naturals? At what temperature would you bre them? Interestengly enough on their side they write: "Note: Due to altitude problems, some areas can not be heated to 100℃ is a normal phenomenon "
Yes by funkier I mean Anaerobics, Co-Ferments, and some Naturals and other coffees that have intense flavors. I typically brew those under 200°F, like 195°-198°F. This helps to tame some of the more intense or even boozy flavors you can get with those coffees. As for what they mean by altitude can affect temp is that in higher altitudes it’s harder to reach boiling point or peak temp at 212°F or 100°C. This is normal for all kettles and even for boiling water in a pot.
@@vizzo7 I never said I couldn’t reach 100°C, I said if you’re using the temperature hold function the kettle is restricted to 95°C or 203°F. That’s the build design of the kettle not a result of where I’m located. If you don’t use the temp hold feature you can go up to 100°C/212°F.
@@coffeenerdaaron also my advise to ya all is pick kettle that is matched with your needs like capacity and don’t really need all that crazy techs like phone connection and time scheduling be more focus on pouring speed and build quality and price. Thanks.
Get this kettle for only $90 on Amazon for Black Friday!!! Link in description 😊

In Asia, I think the general specialty coffee crowd brews highest at 95C. Most people brew around 92-93C for most light roasts.

Exactly what I thought just from the thumbnail, so tacky.

Feels strange to see basicly the mix of Timemore and Fellow kettles, but at the same time packed in a cheaper set...
I agree with you on the name and logo, but I like the kettle design. Thanks for always bringing a balanced and well reasoned review👍
Thanks for watching!
Good review, man! Thanks for posting.
Thanks! 😊
I was just gonna try and pick the branding off with an exacto knife and alcohol
I got their scale and wdt. Then recently ordered their cups and i just discovered that the MHW stands for Make Heart Warm! Like wtf?! Lol 🤯😂
That's interesting, I didn't know that, thanks for sharing!
Make heart warm 💕💕 BOMBER 😡😡
This video just earned you a sub!
Thanks!
Hello,sir!Can you make a video about the best espresso recipe for Minipresso GR?
If I can get my hands on one! I don’t have any experience with them.

@@coffeenerdaaron yes but I understood from your review that you could not reach 100 C. And I assume you are not filming from Nepal

Omg, the names are just so stupid 😂😂😂great review as always ❤
😝
you never know when you want to assassin someone with this kettle
I would get one if the branding and the name weren't so unbelievably ugly.
Yeah it’s not great!
Kettle can’t boil water more than 100degree C
Pretty blatant design language origins I guess
I have it its real good I replace it with brewista
Thanks for sharing!!

@mryoyo7741 I definitely agree, I don’t use half the features on my Stagg Pro cause it’s just unnecessary, it’s a nice kettle but a little overkill!
@@coffeenerdaaron also my acaia 😂 but i like peep sound😂
@mryoyo7741 😝
big no just because of the stupid branding
