Brewing novice here. I love this Youtube video on bodum pour over from 'The Wired Gourmet', but I'm wondering why he uses a separate gooseneck pouring kettle, instead of one single electric gooseneck with a temperature gauge. Photo shows him transferring boiling water from electric heating kettle to pour kettle (this is at timestamp 1:45 in the video).

The justification in the video is that pouring boiling water from the electric kettle into the pouring kettle creates the ideal pour temperature ("peak slurry temp 95 C / 195 F ")... but couldn't you just bring the water to that exact temp with an electric gooseneck kettle, and have one less kettle in the kitchen? I'm genuinely asking -- please don't downvote if I'm wrong! Is there a downside (other than price) of a single electric gooseneck pour kettle with a temp gauge?

I'm about to buy a new coffee setup, so just want opinions before doing so :) My assumption is that this may just be his personal preference, but wanted to ask anyway.
Also, if you have an electric (or stovetop) gooseneck kettle that you love, I'd love for you to share the brand / link!

My soul mate kitchen faucet meets all of the following criteria, but when filtering on websites, I can't seem to find it... Is it out there?

1. High arc (gooseneck) faucet with a pull out / pull down sprayer (hose)
2. Touchless on/off (motion senser feature)
3. Customer rating of 4.5+ stars
4. $450 or less (nope, not rich... an ergonomic faucet is the one thing I'll splurge on)
5. For the spray mode: a flat spray stream, aka "angled spray", "sweep spray", or "blade spray", (instead of the classic 'shower' sprayer): this is the one feature I can compromise on, if there isn't one out there.

The closest one I've found is this linked and pictured on this post, but the one dealbreaker is that it doesn't seem to pull very far down (criteria #1).
If you own or have tried this or a similiar model, can you comment on this? I would want it to pull down further than its base (i.e., want the head of the faucet to reach into the actual sink basin).
