Cosori CO108-NK
Pros
- Stainless kettle, lid and spout
- Reviewed names it the best electric gooseneck
- Five presets and a 60-minute hold
- Far cheaper than the Stagg
Cons
- 0.8L capacity
- Max-fill line is hard to see
- Fixed presets only
- Prop 65 lead warning that does not name the part
A smart pick for pour-over drinkers on a budget. It gives up fine control and capacity, but keeps hot water on steel.
