The best gooseneck electric kettle for most pour-over drinkers is the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro. It sets temperature to the degree, holds it for up to an hour and pours slowly enough that a V60 or Chemex is hard to flood. If that is more than you want to spend, the Cosori Original Electric Gooseneck Kettle covers the basics for well under half the price.

This guide is for people who brew pour-over at home and want a kettle that heats on its own base, hits a set temperature and pours a thin, steady stream. Eight kettles made the list. All of them were on sale new when this page was last checked, and the specs below come from the makers’ own listings or from specialty coffee retailers.

Last checked October 2026: availability, specs and prices.

What to Look for in a Gooseneck Electric Kettle

Temperature control. There are three levels. Basic kettles just boil and switch off. Preset kettles offer four to six fixed temperatures. Variable kettles let you pick any temperature, usually one degree at a time. Light roasts generally want hotter water than dark roasts, so the more you change beans, the more a variable model pays off.

Hold time. A hold function keeps water at the target temperature after it gets there. Thirty minutes is enough for a couple of brews. Sixty minutes suits a slow weekend morning or a household that brews in shifts.

Capacity. Gooseneck kettles are small on purpose. Most hold 0.6 to 1.0 liter. A 0.6 liter kettle is fine for one mug. If you brew a full Chemex or want leftover water for rinsing filters and preheating cups, look at 0.9 or 1.0 liter.

Wattage. US gooseneck kettles run from 1,000 to 1,500 watts. Higher wattage shortens the wait, but with a liter or less of water the difference is a minute or so, not five.

Spout and handle. The whole point of a gooseneck is flow control. A narrow spout and a counterbalanced handle make it easier to pour slowly without the stream breaking up. This is hard to judge from a spec sheet, so it is worth reading what owners and coffee reviewers say about the pour.

Extras. A built-in timer saves you from juggling a phone during the bloom. Scheduling, altitude settings and app control are nice to have. None of them makes the coffee better on its own.

Best Gooseneck Electric Kettles: Our Picks

The eight kettles below are ordered by how many pour-over drinkers they suit, not by price.

1. Fellow Stagg EKG Pro

Fellow now sells its electric Stagg in Pro form as the standard model. The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro holds 0.9 liter, and Fellow lists a range of 104 to 212°F with to-the-degree control. The hold function can be set to 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. A brew stopwatch, a scheduling function and an altitude setting are built in, and firmware updates arrive over Wi-Fi.

The plain matte black and matte white versions cost about $180 (October 2026). Colors with walnut or maple accents cost more, and so does the Studio Edition with glass and metal touch points. Fellow backs the kettle with a two-year warranty. It is the kettle most coffee publications put at the top of their lists, mainly for its slow, controllable pour and precise temperature hold.

Pros of the Stagg EKG Pro

• Temperature set to the degree, from 104 to 212°F
• Hold time adjustable up to 60 minutes
• Stopwatch, scheduling and altitude adjustment built in
• Two-year warranty

Cons of the Stagg EKG Pro

• The most expensive kettle in this guide
• 0.9 liter is tight for a large Chemex plus a filter rinse
• The deliberately slow pour is a poor fit for filling a big teapot

2. Cosori Original Electric Gooseneck Kettle

The Cosori Original Electric Gooseneck Kettle is the budget pick. It holds 0.8 liter, draws 1,200 watts and has five preset temperatures: 170, 180, 195, 205 and 212°F. The 205°F preset is the one labeled for coffee. Cosori says the kettle keeps water warm for up to 60 minutes and shuts off if it runs dry.

The body, lid and spout are stainless steel, so the water does not sit against plastic. Cosori covers it with a two-year limited warranty. It costs about $70 (October 2026) in matte black or stainless.

Pros of the Cosori Original

• Low price for a kettle with a 60-minute hold
• Presets cover coffee and the common tea temperatures
• All-stainless water path

Cons of the Cosori Original

• Presets only: you cannot pick 200°F or 208°F
• No built-in brew timer
• 0.8 liter capacity

3. OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle

OXO’s gooseneck is the practical middle choice. It holds a full liter, sets temperature in one-degree steps from 140 to 212°F according to retailer listings, and holds that temperature for 30 minutes. A count-up timer is built into the base and starts with a press of the dial. Seattle Coffee Gear, which lists it as the OXO On Adjustable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle, describes the heat-up to brewing temperature as roughly four minutes.

The exterior is stainless steel with a heat-insulated handle and lid. It sells for about $120 (October 2026). Stock looked thin at some specialty retailers when this guide was checked, so it may take a little shopping around.

Pros of the OXO Pour-Over Kettle

• Full 1 liter capacity
• One-degree temperature steps
• Built-in timer on the base

Cons of the OXO Pour-Over Kettle

• Hold time stops at 30 minutes
• Lowest setting is 140°F, which rules out some delicate teas
• Availability varied by retailer

4. Bonavita 1.0L Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle

The Bonavita has been a standard recommendation for years, and it is still sold new by specialty coffee retailers. It holds 1.0 liter and uses a 1,000-watt element. You can choose one of six presets or set the temperature by the degree, and the display shows the real-time water temperature inside the kettle. Lift the kettle off its base and a count-up timer becomes available for timing the pour.

Whole Latte Love, which stocks it, describes the display as typically accurate to within 2°F. The handle is large and the body is brushed stainless steel. Expect to pay about $95 (October 2026), with sales taking it lower.

Pros of the Bonavita Variable Temperature Kettle

• Degree-by-degree control at a mid-range price
• 1.0 liter capacity
• Count-up timer and live temperature readout

Cons of the Bonavita Variable Temperature Kettle

• 1,000 watts makes it one of the slower kettles here
• Plain, dated look next to the Fellow or Brewista
• Sold mainly through third-party retailers, so prices vary

5. Cosori Smart Electric Gooseneck Kettle

The Cosori Smart Electric Gooseneck Kettle takes the Original’s 0.8 liter, 1,200-watt body and adds app control. Through the VeSync app you can set any temperature from 104 to 212°F, save your own preset with the MyBrew feature, schedule a heat-up and adjust the hold time, which runs up to 60 minutes. Four presets are available on the kettle itself.

It costs about $78 (October 2026), which makes it the cheapest route to fully variable temperature in this guide. The catch is that the fine control lives in the phone app, not on the base.

Pros of the Cosori Smart

• Full 104 to 212°F range for well under $100
• Scheduling and custom presets in the app
• Two-year limited warranty

Cons of the Cosori Smart

• Custom temperatures need the app
• 0.8 liter capacity
• No built-in brew timer on the base

6. Brewista Artisan 1.0L Gooseneck Variable Temperature Kettle

The Brewista Artisan is the main rival to the Stagg for people who want a full liter. Brewista lists a range of 104 to 212°F, a flash boil button, a keep-warm function and a built-in timer. The body is 304 stainless steel, and the kettle comes in a long list of finishes, from matte black to pearl white and mirrored steel.

It costs about $160 (October 2026) with a one-year warranty. Some colorways were sold out on Brewista’s own store when this guide was checked, so be flexible on finish.

Pros of the Brewista Artisan

• 1.0 liter with to-the-degree control
• Flash boil, keep warm and timer
• Many finishes

Cons of the Brewista Artisan

• One-year warranty, shorter than Fellow or Cosori
• Several colors out of stock at the time of checking
• Priced close to the Stagg EKG Pro

7. Timemore Fish Smart Electric Kettle

The Timemore Fish Smart is a small kettle for single cups. The home edition holds 600 ml, with a maximum fill line at 560 ml, and uses a 1,000-watt element. Temperature is adjustable from 40 to 100°C (104 to 212°F) in one-degree Celsius steps, and a dual display shows the target and the actual temperature at the same time. A hold mode keeps the water at the set point.

Timemore says the kettle reaches 88°C in 220 seconds. The body is 304 stainless steel with boil-dry protection. It costs about $129 (October 2026).

Pros of the Timemore Fish Smart

• Compact and light for one-cup brewing
• Dual display of target and actual temperature
• Fine control across the full range

Cons of the Timemore Fish Smart

• 560 ml usable capacity is too small for two large cups
• Pricey for its size
• No built-in brew timer listed

8. Hario V60 Buono Electric Drip Kettle

The Hario V60 Buono Electric Drip Kettle puts the familiar beehive Buono shape on a cordless base. It holds up to 800 ml, uses 1,000 watts and switches off automatically when the water boils. That is the whole feature list: there is no temperature setting and no hold function.

It suits people who already have a routine, such as boiling and waiting 30 seconds, and who like the Buono’s spout. At about $95 (October 2026), you are paying for the Hario design, not for electronics.

Pros of the Hario Buono Electric

• Simple: fill, switch on, pour
• Classic Buono spout and shape
• Stainless steel body and lid

Cons of the Hario Buono Electric

• No temperature control or hold
• Costs more than preset kettles that do more
• Plastic lid knob, handle and base

Gooseneck Electric Kettle FAQ

Do you need a gooseneck kettle for pour-over coffee?

You can brew pour-over with any kettle, but a wide spout dumps water fast and unevenly. A gooseneck makes it much easier to pour slowly in circles and stop exactly when the scale hits your target weight. For V60 and similar cone brewers it is the most useful upgrade after a grinder.

What temperature should the water be?

Most pour-over recipes land between 195 and 205°F. Timemore’s own guidance for its kettle suggests 92 to 96°C (about 198 to 205°F) for light roasts and 85 to 90°C (185 to 194°F) for dark roasts. Start in the middle and adjust by taste.

Is a variable temperature kettle worth the extra money?

If you drink one kind of coffee and never make green or white tea, a preset or boil-only kettle is enough. If you switch between roasts or brew tea as well, degree-level control and a hold function save time every day.

How much capacity do you need?

A single 12 ounce cup uses roughly 350 to 400 ml of water, plus some for rinsing the filter. A 0.6 liter kettle covers that. For two cups or a large Chemex, choose 0.9 or 1.0 liter.

Conclusion

Buy the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro if you want the most control and plan to keep the kettle for years. Choose the Cosori Original if you want good pour-over water for about $70, or the Cosori Smart if you want any temperature and do not mind using an app. The OXO and Bonavita are the sensible one-liter options in the middle, and the Brewista Artisan is the one-liter alternative to the Stagg. Pick the Timemore Fish Smart for single cups in a small kitchen, and the Hario Buono Electric if you just want a Buono that boils itself.
