A $70 stainless gooseneck kettle with five temperature presets and a 60-minute hold: the budget route to better pour-over.
COSORI's best-known gooseneck kettle (model CO108-NK) holds 0.8 L and heats with 1200 W to five presets, from 170°F for white tea to 205°F for coffee and a full boil, then holds temperature for up to 60 minutes. The kettle, lid and spout are food-grade stainless steel, and boil-dry protection shuts it off when nearly empty. It lacks degree-by-degree control and a timer, which pricier kettles like the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro offer.
Best for
- Budget pour-over setups
- Tea drinkers who want quick preset temperatures
- First gooseneck kettle
What we like
- Low price for a temperature-preset gooseneck kettle
- Five presets including 205°F for coffee
- Holds temperature for up to 60 minutes
- Stainless water path with boil-dry protection
Watch-outs
- No degree-by-degree temperature control
- No built-in brew timer or temperature display
- Modest 0.8 L capacity

7.9Good
Gear score out of 10, weighted across five factors.
- Performance30%7.5
Five fixed presets (including 205°F for coffee) and a gooseneck spout cover most pour-over needs, but there is no degree-by-degree control or timer.
- Build & reliability20%7.4
Food-grade stainless steel kettle, lid and spout on a plastic base, with boil-dry protection and a 2-year limited warranty.
- Ease of use15%8.1
One-touch presets, a 60-minute hold and fast boiling make it simple; customization is limited to the five presets.
- Value20%9.0
At $69.99 it costs well under half the price of premium gooseneck kettles.
- Community love15%7.5
Coffeeness named COSORI's (Smart) gooseneck kettle the best-value pick in its gooseneck guide, but creator coverage of the Original model is thin.

FAQ
Good questions.
Can you set an exact temperature on the COSORI Original?
No. It offers five presets: 170°F, 180°F, 195°F, 205°F and 212°F. COSORI's Smart Electric Gooseneck Kettle adds app-based custom temperatures.
How long does it keep water hot?
Press Hold Temp while it heats and it stays at the target temperature for up to 60 minutes.
Does altitude affect the presets?
Yes. COSORI recommends the Coffee preset at 3,881–9,255 ft and Oolong above 9,256 ft, because water boils at lower temperatures at altitude.
