A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I have the https://fellowproducts.com/products/stagg-ekg-electric-pour-over-kettle and love it, works great and it's the best looking kettle I've seen.
169$ is pretty steep... Also it has too much electronics for a kettle imho
I didn't get the one with Bluetooth or WiFi or whatever. Just turn it on and set temp. But yea it isn't the cheapest.
I got one of these for free on a trashnothing Facebook group in my city. Someone was giving it away because it didn't heat anymore. I popped it open and replaced the thermal diode. I've had to do that twice now. Great kettle for all types of teas and pour over coffee, but they should really make them more robust if they're just expecting most people to toss it when a small inexpensive part goes bad.
Have a couple of these and the buttons are inconsistent. Can take multiple presses to turn on, apparently a common issue with no fix. I still like them since it’s a pretty minor fault, but worth knowing before buying
