Bonavita
$50–$80
Bonavita Variable Temp Kettle
4/5
The gooseneck kettle that gives you 90% of what the fancy ones give you at 40% of the price. Precise temperature control, good pour control.
The good
- +Gooseneck spout gives excellent pour control
- +Variable temperature (set exact temp)
- +Holds temp for an hour
The catch
- −Design is functional, not beautiful
- −Pour can drip slightly from base when full
- −Buttons feel a bit cheap
Best for: Pour-over brewers who want temp control without the price tag
