I've been making pour-over coffee for over a decade and never even knew it was called that!! I also never knew a kettle with a special spout existed. The claims on the instruction booklet that the coffee tastes better after using water from this kettle is not necessarily true - boiled water is boiled water - but I did find it very convenient for accurate pouring and activating all the coffee properly within the filter paper. You have to use a circular motion apparently! I couldn't do this with my regular electric kettle which also leaks all over the place. Saw a review commented that the water tasted funny but I didn't find that at all. Also a review said the handle got hot but I didn't find that either.

I ordered this kettle for making Moroccan style mint tea as I wanted a teapot with a gooseneck spout that could withstand heat from the hob (rather than just a decorative one for serving) and so far I have not been disappointed. Ordered in the morning and arrived in the afternoon in time for tea. Perfect precision pouring, no spillage, even when pouring tea from a height. Nice contemporary design and sturdy construction, comfortable to hold. With proper care, I would expect this to last for a good long while but can't comment on that aspect of the product just yet.Considering that I could easily pay more for an inferior product at the local shops, I found this Melitta kettle reasonably priced.

I use a Kalita Wave Stainless Steel Dripper with filtered water for making a fresh cup of coffee and wanted a stove top kettle capable of boiling the right amount of water for this technique. This kettle fits the bill perfectly and has a very good neck shape for controlling water flow. On my smallest gas hob it takes 6 minutes to boil 500ml of water, which is ample time to prepare the other equipment required for making a coffee. Highly recommended. As for why I chose a stove top kettle? The electric gooseneck kettles all seem to break after a few months and cost a small fortune, where as regular kettles don't offer flow control.

Previously, I had a bad experience, ordering some gooseneck kettles for pouring my V60! They were promising induction compatibility, bud they actually were of some cheap thin tin. The induction stove couldn't handle them well (worked only to half of the power)!!! This Melitta kettle has a very solid steel sandwich bottom! Handling the INDUCTION great. 100% power. The rest... the induction people know about the temperature control, the speed, the ease of cleaning the stove surface! Very good product! Good Value!

The moment I put the kettle on the stove I can already hear progress. It boils rather quickly and I don't have to wait that long if this is the first thing I do when I start making coffee, it provides holes at the top allowing me to check the temperature of the water. However, I have to use a cloth to hold the handle as it does get rather hot when it heats up as well that the placement of the handle puts my hand really close to the wall of the kettle which feels dangerous as I could touch it while I pour.

A perfect compliment to my aeropress coffee.. Keeps the water nice and hot for a long time. I use it to decant hot water from a boiled kettle of water as the long spout makes it ideal for the aeropress. it’s amazing how long the water remains hot it must be well insulated..Excellent high quality stainless steel and perfection as a branded product MELITTA you can’t go wrong. Can very highly recommend this kettle. I am more than delighted with it.

This is my first gooseneck stove top kettle I have used. I have a gas hob so don't know how it performs on electric hobs. I use a V60 02 so this kettle hold enough water for 2 mugs of coffee, wet the filter paper and warm the two cups. Its nicely made and the spout makes it very easy to control the water flow. Just remember to wash it out with soapy water before its first use. I haven't noticed any off flavour as others have reported.

Does exactly what you need it for. BUT.... like other reviewers have said, there is a definite chemical taste imparted on the water initially, I suspect part of manufacturing process.You will need to boil it a few times with bicarbonate of soda. Really easy to do, I did mine three times for 10 mins each, then rinsed. Now perfect.If you don't think you'll bother doing the above, don't buy it, you'll just end up returning it.

I got this for pour-over coffee, most of the alternative products where either too expensive or seemed like cheap knock-offs.Very happy with it as it's a good size for one (or a few) cups of coffee or tea, handle is comfortable, and it looks pretty decent too.In the future I will probably add a decent thermometer through one of the lid holes so I can get that perfect brew temperature, for now going by ear has worked fine ;)

I bought this a few months ago and it has been used two or three times a day constantly since then. I did wonder when I ordered it whether I would regret not spending the extra money on a Hario kettle, but I have no regrets. The handle doesn't get too hot and is designed so that it fits well in your hand - essential as the point of the gooseneck kettle is to ensure a slow controlled pour.

It's everything you'll ever need, really. Great brand and great price. I've been using it for a week for my V60 and drip and also using it to warm water for my tea. I have a gas stove and was worried it would stain the metal but it's perfectly fine. the Kettle's base is very wide hence protects the rest of the pot from fire and heat. Absolutely recommend.

Works well on induction hobs; heats up quickly. When it’s stored by hanging it from its handle, the lid stays on. Seems ergonomically safe to use, the handle ‘space’ and arrangement of the spout gives the impression that it would be difficult to burn oneself. It’s footprint seems larger than it needs to be but I’m being too picky.

Very happy with purchase. The Melitta Gooseneck Kettle is of high quality and fantastic for the V60 pour over method of brewing coffee. The gooseneck spout gives you perfect control of the flow rate needed to ensure you are precise with the measurement of water to coffee ratio. Very comfortable to hold and looks very ‘Barista’!

I brew coffee using an Aeropress or Bodum pour over, and had always used a domestic electric kettle before buying this.The Melitta Gooseneck kettle has made a big improvement to my coffee brewing technique, better flavour, better bloom control, and a more clearly defined routine.

Pretty well built and easier to control than the Hario Buono for just half the price. Item arrived with no funky smell which was exactly how I expected.I use this to pour water decanted from the kettle so induction hob compatibility doesn't matter as much.
