Can you set the water temperature?

No, it's simply and on/off process. I do try to control the temperature of the hot water that I heat. I try to heat to 170 degrees F for my coffee; it makes a more readily drinkable brew without overheating it. I determined that 170 degrees is the temp at which the surface of the water starts to shimmer. So, I used a timer to figure out how long a predetermined amount of water took to reach this state, and that's what I use to get the temp that I want. I've been doing this for at least six years with different brands of kettles. The time has varied from 2:00 to 2:45 min. to get about 16-20 oz. of water to the surface shimmer. I burned out my last kettle when it was accidentally switched on without notice. It didn't have an empty-pot shutoff feature. That's the main reason that I got this pot. Hope this helps.

No, but the temperature is like what you find getting served coffe or tea in a restaurant. It is very good. I love mine.

No, and it takes forever to boil the water. You can boil it faster on the stove.

There are no settings. It's automatic The thermostat is built it. You are supposed to fill the tub with water at the temperature you want and the heater will maintain that temperature.

Yes you can set any temperature and I agree with Larry that it is annoying that it starts repeating "it's almost done" when you are five degrees from the set temperature and as far as I know you cannot turn this feature off. You can work around this by setting the temperature five degrees higher than you wish and use the "it's almost done" as the alarm to tell you to turn if off.

Absolutely B, you can just put the temperature at whatever you went whenever you want and leave it that way.. does that help?

There is no preset. I'm using it in my well water treatment tank to prevent freezing. It works for this but doesn't keep constant temp for us. It depends on ambient room temperature.

You can program it to keep water at a certain temperature for a certain time.I have mine set for 200 degrees for one hour, when I pour a cup it pauses in the time countdownand then continues to keep the temperature for the remainder of time. At the end of the hour it shuts off automatically.

No the start button must be pressed to activate it at the certain temp you want. Simply applying power to it will not set it in motion to boil or heat water

Yes you can set the temp. I have had a problem with it staying at the temp I select. I lock it but it doesn't stay at the setting.

no. there is a key pad on the front of the unit so you can select the temperature that you would like. Its worked great for us so far. Good luck

Yes you can set a certain temperature and it will maintain it for you. You don't have to turn it on/off

No, there is no temperature setting, but it works great! It is set a perfect temperature....Aloha!

You can set the temperature at any point. I wouldn't buy this product it quit working for me 2 days after the warranty ran out.

Yes, you can control the temperature. Up and down on handle is water pressure, left and right is temperature.

No. if you use a separate controller, which I do, then it can be easily adjusted to the temperature you want. I use the Ranco ETC-111000-000 Prewired Digital Temperature Controller (ETC-111000-000W) from ETC Supply.. They can also supply an extra length sensor wire and also install heat shrink tubing for underwater use. As far as a automatic timer for the different temperatures, I don't know about that.

You could, but the heating element does not heat up the water very hot (in my experience).

Don't think so, the temperature of the water on the input side may determine the output temp. My water is around 55 degrees and i have seem temps close to 140 but thats the highest

You CAN. There's an adjustment screw on the back of the unit for the cold water temp. I just poured a glass and the water was 35*F and there's still plenty of adjustment left in the screw.
