Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

“Currently, I am using the Cosori Gooseneck, which only holds about 0.8 liters. This or the Stagg, as you mentioned, does cause some ineffeciency when brewing using the 8cup Chemex.”
— chipmunkalvs on Reddit

“I’m having a hard time finding the ottoni one in Canada. Has your list changed at all? I think the quality of the stainless steel also matters which worries me a bit about the cheaper cosori ones.”
— vouching on Reddit

“So if I specifically want a gooseneck, the Cosori is the best? Thank you for this!”
— Mister-Fahrenheit on Reddit

“it feels difficult to slow down the flow, and keep it steady at the same time”
— venerablem0m on Reddit

“It's definitely an option. Like if the price just doesn't drop anytime soon. More just looking to do more research and having seen the other brands really drop in price. What were the main reasons you got the Greater Goods after having the Cosori? Was it just to get a more pour over specialized kettle?”
