You’ve probably spotted gooseneck kettles at your favorite coffee shop—they look sleek with their narrow, curved spouts and stylish designs. But they’re not just about looks. That signature spout is what makes them so useful for brewing coffee and tea. It lets you pour hot water slowly and precisely, which gives you better control and helps bring out the best flavor from your tea leaves or coffee grounds.
Today’s gooseneck kettles are even smarter. Many come with temperature control features that let you heat water to just the right degree, making your brewing process even more accurate. We tested several popular models, checking their capacity, how quickly they heat up, and how well they pour. Here are our top picks:
Best Overall: Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle
What We Like:
- Set the temperature down to the exact degree
- Temperature hold function
- Perfect, controlled pouring
- Modern, stylish design
What We Don’t Like:
- Pricey
- Smaller capacity
Our Review:
The Fellow Stagg EKG is a great mix of beauty and brains. Its modern design—with clean lines and a matte finish—makes it stand out. (It even comes in a polished copper version if that’s more your style.)
But it’s not just good-looking—it’s packed with smart features. You can set the exact temperature (anywhere between 135°F and 212°F) using its LCD display, and it’ll hold that temp for up to an hour. There’s also a built-in timer, and it connects to Bluetooth, so you can control it from your phone!
Yes, it’s more expensive than others, but you get what you pay for. It boiled water in just five minutes in our tests, and the pour is super smooth and precise. If you’re serious about pour-over coffee or loose-leaf tea, this is one of the best options out there.

Best for Ease of Use: Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle
What We Like:
- 5 preset temperatures
- Sleek matte design
- Affordable
- Simple operation
What We Don’t Like:
- Outside gets hot
- Smaller size
Our Review:
The Cosori may not have all the tech of the Stagg, but it’s still a solid pick—especially if you want something easy to use. With just a push of a button, you can pick from five preset temperatures based on your drink: white tea (170°F), green tea (180°F), coffee (205°F), and boiling water (212°F).
It heats up quickly and looks great with its minimalist black finish. Just be careful when it’s hot—the exterior isn’t insulated. In our tests, it kept the water warm for over 30 minutes.
At 27 oz, it’s on the smaller side—enough for about 3–4 cups. But overall, it’s a fantastic choice if you want something that’s simple, stylish, and affordable.
📏 Capacity: 27 oz

Best Budget Pick: Coffee Gator Gooseneck Kettle
What We Like:
- Strong and durable
- Works with all stovetops
- Precise pouring
- Built-in thermometer
What We Don’t Like:
- Can rust over time
- Makes some noise when heating
Our Review:
If you don’t mind using a stovetop kettle, the Coffee Gator is a fantastic budget choice. What makes it special is the built-in thermometer on the lid—it tells you exactly when your water hits the right temperature, so you don’t have to guess.
It has a solid, good-looking design with a comfy handle and a controlled pour that works great for coffee or tea. Plus, it works on all types of stovetops, even induction ones.
The only real downside is that it can make a slight buzzing sound while heating. But for the price and performance, it’s a small trade-off.
📏 Capacities: 34 oz or 40 oz
📐 Sizes: 10.15 x 5.6 x 5.2 in or 10.2 x 6.2 x 5.4 in

Best Compact Option: Lardera Smart Electric Kettle
What We Like:
- Small and space-saving
- Smooth, no-drip pour
- Sturdy build
What We Don’t Like:
- Temperature control is tricky to adjust
Our Review:
If you’re short on counter space, the Lardera Smart Electric Kettle is a great choice. It’s compact—only 10 inches from handle to spout—but still packs a punch. It heated water to a boil in just 3.5 minutes during our tests.
The build quality is solid, the design is sleek, and the pour is precise. The only issue we ran into was the touch control—it can be a little sensitive and takes a few tries to get the exact temperature you want.
Still, if you want something small but powerful, the Lardera is hard to beat.
