The heat loss would definitely be my main issue with those. Though I go a bit far the other way in that I boil water, pour it into my gooseneck kettle, then pop that on the hob to get the water back to boiling to ensure there's no thermal loss to the kettle itself. Then again, I guess the plastic doesn't soak that much heat.

I got one of those Hario Air Kettles and used it for the first time today. I'm pretty impressed with it. I've used but not owned a pouring kettle before because I've always made do with a normal kettle, trying not to accumulate too much "coffee stuff". I'm pretty impressed, it pours really nicely, the lack of lid and watching steam escape feels a bit wrong but also the lack of lid means it fits better in the cupboard.
