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. 

Quick Picks: What to Look for in a Gooseneck Kettle

• Temperature control: Helps you brew more consistently
• Hold function: Keeps water at your target temp
• Balanced pour: Easier to control flow rate
• Spout design: Matters for slow, even pours

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.
