Gooseneck Kettle vs. Regular Plug-in Kettle

We use gooseneck kettles for two reasons, they are lightweight and allow for a slow, controlled pour-over. Slow pour-over makes pour-over coffee much easier, as even saturation of the coffee grounds is essential for extraction.

 

Some higher-end gooseneck kettles come with temperature control settings on their bases, allowing you to heat the water to a specific temperature based on different types of brews. While some regular plug-in kettles offer temperature control, this is usually a preset temperature that cannot be customized. You will find that gooseneck kettles generally have greater temperature accuracy.

In addition to their practical functionality, gooseneck kettles often display sophisticated and stylish designs that bring a certain feel to any kitchen or brewing station. Their aesthetic appeal caters to anyone who appreciates stylish cooking tools.

 

While the precision that gooseneck kettles offer is undoubtedly beneficial, it does come with a learning curve. It does take some practice and patience to become proficient at pour-over coffee. You may find it difficult to maintain consistency at first, so grab some coffee and a filter, load up our brewing guide, and start pouring coffee.
