What Bonavita Variable Temp Gooseneck Kettle owners say

“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.”

“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.)”

What Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Kettle owners say

“Seconded. This kettle is awesome!”
— AlwaysAtRiverwood on Reddit
“TLDR - 600ml capacity, so it is tiny, but it boils in 3 mins (vs Bonavita Variable's 9 mins). It is hella expensive for a kettle at $149, but is well built, has many features, and is flashy AF.”

“There are few cons with this kettle which I found out after purchasing”
