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”
— seoulbrova on Reddit
“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 Fellow Corvo EKG owners say

“But I bought one of these some time ago and – being the tea & coffee fiend that I am – have never once regretted it. If you're trying to save money and could use an electric kettle, this will treat you well.”

“the kettle is a Fellow Corvo EKG (could hold more water, but pretty, silent and fine temp control)”
— kekstee on Reddit
“I switched to the Corvo after my Stagg broke. I was quite disappointed by the pour quality of the Corvo, though.”
