Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a gooseneck kettle for pour-over?
A gooseneck spout lets you control the flow rate and placement of water precisely, which is essential for even extraction in pour-over methods like V60 and Chemex. A standard kettle pours too fast and inconsistently, leading to channeling and uneven flavor.
What temperature should I use for pour-over coffee?
195-205°F (90-96°C) is the standard range for pour-over coffee. Lighter roasts benefit from higher temperatures (200-205°F) for full extraction, while darker roasts taste better at lower temperatures (190-195°F) to avoid bitterness. A variable temperature kettle lets you dial this in.
Electric or stovetop gooseneck kettle?
Electric gooseneck kettles with variable temperature control are far more convenient for pour-over coffee. They heat faster, maintain exact temperatures, and free up your stove. Stovetop gooseneck kettles are cheaper but require a separate thermometer and more attention.
