5 Electric Gooseneck Kettles for the Perfect Pour Over

If you're ready to purchase a pour over coffee maker, you also might want to consider a gooseneck kettle. While it's not necessary—a stove kettle (tea kettle) will work just fine—using a gooseneck kettle is the easiest way to boil and distribute water for a pour over coffee. You can also use a gooseneck kettle for tea.
Gooseneck Kettle vs. Regular Kettle
Different from a traditional kettle, the gooseneck kettle has more precision; think of it as a hose versus a bucket of water. The gooseneck kettle's long, narrow neck provides better control of the water flow so you can evenly saturate your coffee grounds for an ideal extraction (when the coffee grounds dissolve into the water).
Electric vs. Stovetop Gooseneck Kettle
Gooseneck kettles generally come in two forms: stove and electric. Stovetop gooseneck kettles are used on the stove like a tea kettle, while electric gooseneck kettles come with a hot plate for heating the water. You can typically set the exact temperature you want on an electric gooseneck kettle, which is why we prefer them for pour over coffee.
