A fast, accurate 1-liter gooseneck with single-degree control and a 2-year warranty. Testers found the handle a little less comfortable than the best, and the lid can drip when the kettle is full.
Top complaints
- Drips from the lid when full
Serious Eats found it tended to drip from the lid when full.
Source: Serious Eats (gooseneck kettles) - Handle less comfortable for precise pours
Wirecutter says the flatter handle and squatter body made it a little harder to pour precisely than the Cuisinart GK-1. Serious Eats found the handle angle less comfortable than the Saki or Stagg.
- Breaks within a year for some
Amazon's review summary says multiple customers report it breaking within a year, and opinions on value are mixed.
What owners love
- Fast and accurate
Serious Eats found it one of the fastest and most accurate kettles it tested; Wirecutter calls it a fast, precise kettle.
- Single-degree control
Wirecutter notes it adjusts in 1-degree steps from 140°F to 212°F, versus 5-degree steps on the GK-1.
Source: Wirecutter - Excellent spout control
Serious Eats says the sharply angled spout gave excellent control and even saturation; Amazon owners praise the pouring spout and intuitive UI.
- You fill it to the top often (lid drips)
- You want the most ergonomic handle
- You need more than 1 L
- Pour-over with single-degree control
- A steel finish instead of matte black
- Slightly more capacity than the Stagg

What experts say
- Serious Eats (gooseneck kettles): Most user-friendly gooseneck: fast, accurate and comfortable, but it drips from the lid when full and the handle angle is less comfortable than the top picks.
- Wirecutter (NYT): Former gooseneck pick and now the alternative: fast and precise with 1-degree control, but slightly harder to pour precisely than the GK-1.
