What to know about OXO 8717100

A 1 L, 1500 W gooseneck with dial control from 140 to 212°F, presets and a 30-minute hold. It was ATK's top adjustable gooseneck and TechGearLab's Best Overall, and it boiled fastest of the goosenecks tested. A strong all-rounder for people who brew for two.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

TechGearLab scored it highest of the goosenecks it tested (77) and measured the fastest boil at 2.9 minutes. It was 2.0°F off at coffee temperature. America's Test Kitchen named it the best adjustable gooseneck.

The 1 L capacity suits anyone brewing for two or more.

What to know

Skip it if you want a plastic-free water path. TechGearLab found water condensing onto small plastic nubs on the lid, and CoffeeGeek describes a silicone lid insert. It also ran about 6.5°F hot at green-tea settings.
