Bonavita Variable Temp Gooseneck Kettle

“Bonavita gooseneck kettle at 198 degrees using a Hario v60. Once you start drinking good coffee you realize the burnt offerings of chain locations”

“compared to the Bonavita kettle that died on me. (Edit: They're good quality, but if you leave them plugged in 24/7 a fuse in the base tends to blow, at least in Europe.)”

“my only complaints about the kettle are that it doesn't retain heat well when off the element, and in the gooseneck specifically, it doesn't pour hard enough for certain teas that need fast, hot, aggressive pours.”

“My Bonavita variable temp is going decently strong after about four or five years, but it does have some gremlins sometimes that cause it to not work every so often.”

“It still gets up to temp as fast as it did. Can be a couple degrees off, but I've been extremely happy with it through the years.”

“After having a Bonavita gooseneck for a long time now, here's what I'd say in the gooseneck vs bulbous matchup”

“Over the last year my Bonavita kettle basically disintegrated on me, and general opinion of the brand is pretty low these days, so I was looking for something new.”

“I have a Bonavita variable temperature gooseneck kettle that makes no noise other than the sound of water boiling (if you use it to boil).”

“I love my Bonavita gooseneck electric kettle. It heats the water in minutes, but otherwise a pretty standard gooseneck kettle.”

“both have been fine for over a year. Three years now for the Oxo. The bonavita has a little rust around the rim where the lid goes.”

“It gives me precise temperature control and it will hold that temperature for a while which is handy when making coffee as part of a meal”

“I'll second the heat retention thing. Even when full, it'll drop 5-10 degrees F in a matter of minutes. Which leads to a lot of reboiling.”

“But I use my Bonavita Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle probably ten times a day!”

“I still own a Bonavita gooseneck, but it's showing its age by being a lot slower to heat up, and now it's been relegated to the kitchen.”

“The bonavita gooseneck kettle is pretty popular, and I'm happy with mine, but it is made in China.”

“I've got two. My older one works like day one even after 5+ years of daily use. You can also program the exact temp you want which is a missing feature on some other variable temp kettles.”

“it is a SLOW kettle, I timed mine at 9 minutes to boil.) You also have to remember to hit the "hold" button every time you lift it”

“Some people early on also had QA issues with them, but mine has been perfect for three years.”

“I use the Bonavita but I wouldn't particularly recommend it over the other options.”

“I had the BonaVita variable temp Gooseneck for 3 years or so before upgrading last year and I will never look back.”

“I've been using the same Bonavita temp control gooseneck kettle for coming on 7 years now, it gets used multiple times a day. Sure it's not as flashy, but it does the job and does it right.”

“I've been very happy with my Bonavita kettle except for one annoying thing that effects my tea brewing more than coffee: when you lift the pot from the base, the hold temp mode gets disengaged.”

“I have a Bonavita Gooseneck kettle and the temps seem to be pretty inconsistent, today I set it to 202 with the kettle half full and it went all the way up to 207.”

“I love my Bonavita variable temp gooseneck kettle. It's a bit pricey, but it really works well. Since I don't have to watch a thermometer, I can just turn it on and walk away to do other prep work”
