  • Alright, here is the video that you guys have been waiting for! This actually took me a bit longer to put together due to the testing and trying to organize my thoughts (not to mention the editing that took hours...) So I really hope that it helps some of you guys out there and if so please consider dropping a thumbs up and subscribe if you have already.
    Please also note that the score that I give in this video is using the Fellow EKG as a reference point, assuming it being the 10/10 point.

    Okay! I bought the Miroco. Going to use it to brew teas. I wanted to get a Fellow EKG bit just couldn't swing the expense. A lot of my friends love the Cosori so that was my next choice until I watched your unboxings in your 4 budget kettle series. Recently discovered your channel and very much appreciate your videos. Thank you!

    Thanks for this! I’ve had the Cosori for a while now and have been wondering whether the temperature was actually accurate. I may splurge and just go for the Fellow, but if not then I’ll look at the two you recommended as well!

    Had a feeling you would go with the Miroco. 😉😎. I bought the stovetop version of the Fellow EKG and I’m happy with it, but would get the Miroco if I had to do it again after seeing this video. 😎

    • @XICups
      @XICups  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha, yeah the only thing like I said I am uneasy about is the lack of a "stable" seller. But the seller offering has gone from the 1 that I bought from initially to 3 now. Aside from that the kettle really impressed me with how similar it is to use from the EKG.

    • @ronr9423
      @ronr9423 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally missed your reply, do apologize about the late response here. But yes, as an EKG user this one stood out, again the only thing being the lack of a stable brand seller, I didn't feel comfortable recommending it without emphasizing that going in.

    Thank you for your kettle reviews! Could you do more grinder reviews too? I'm looking for a affordable grinder for espresso machine 😃

    • @ronr9423
      @ronr9423 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you’re into hand grinders, a good budget option to start with for espresso would be 1ZPresso JX Pro, a worthwhile electric espresso grinder will start around $300 and go up SUPER QUICK. Pull up some reviews for the 1ZPresso JX Pro and you’ll find plenty of comparisons in the budget category. Good luck 😎

    • @XICups
      @XICups  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for answering that Ron, but yes most of the good options are at least $250, the only sub $200 one that I can think off that can potentially do espresso is the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, which I did talk about here th-cam.com/video/69sKRg5YpkA/w-d-xo.html This one that I talked about belongs to my friend and so far it's been holding up for her and the several times that I did grind for espresso with it came out pretty good. But on the note of doing more gear reviews I would be more than happy to do so!! Just need to save up a bit more budget =]

    Wow!!! This video came out right when I was shopping for an electric kettle. I’m trying to choose between the miroco and the Willscence. Which would you choose? I’m mostly just going to be using it for tea and whatever else (but possibly learn how to do pour over coffee since my boyfriend is a coffee fan) This video was so well done and I appreciate the effort and time you put into making it!

    • @XICups
      @XICups  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      After using them both I would probably go with the MIroco, the base isn't as nicely built, but it looks sleeker and handles better in my opinion.

    Thank you. Please would you do a comparison of budget espresso machines. I am particularly interested in De'Longhi Coffee Machines, but any would be great.

    • @XICups
      @XICups  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely keep that in mind, though espresso machines are bit more of a daunting task, since you need to spend quite a bit of time with it to really form an opinion. But I would love to test out more coffee toys and share my opinion if the opportunity arise.

    • @XICups

      Interesting, the design certainly looks similar to the EKG. Will keep in mind for future testings.

      @@XICups I got it and to you and anyone else who reads I'm not too impressed. Knob was very cheap and the knob cover came off when I received it. Also the lid has holes in the top like the stagg, and after I boiled water I noticed that black finish had gotten into the inside rim of the top of the lid and when I wiped it with a paper towel black residue came off!
      Not a good look!

    Cosori is a lovely pot. Mostly I just want quick hot water for my tea. I'm 67 and the fit is perfect for myself. I think it's a personnel choice. I'm just wondering how long the kettles last, and the price of replacement of the base and kettle. I bet it's best just to purchase a new one. Right?
    Thanks for the through review. Next time I may try one of the other choices!
