First and foremost, let's talk about simplicity. The Bodum Gooseneck Electric Kettle couldn't be easier to use. With just the flick of a switch, it quickly and efficiently boils water to the perfect temperature for brewing coffee or tea. The gooseneck spout allows for precise pouring, giving me complete control over the water flow as I saturate the coffee grounds in my pour-over cone.
Speaking of pour-over coffee, this kettle is a match made in heaven for the Bodum pour-over coffee maker. The gooseneck spout provides the ideal flow rate for evenly saturating the coffee grounds, ensuring a consistent and flavorful brew every time. Whether I'm making a single cup or a full pot of coffee, the Bodum Gooseneck Electric Kettle delivers flawless results with minimal effort.
However, if there's one flaw to note, it would be the size of the kettle. While it's perfectly adequate for everyday use, I sometimes find myself wishing it had a larger capacity to accommodate more water. This would be especially convenient when brewing multiple cups of coffee or when entertaining guests.
Despite this minor drawback, the Bodum Gooseneck Electric Kettle remains a staple in my kitchen arsenal. Its ease of use, precise pouring capabilities, and compatibility with the Bodum pour-over coffee maker make it an indispensable tool for any coffee lover. Say goodbye to uneven pours and hello to perfectly brewed coffee with the Bodum Gooseneck Electric Kettle by your side.
First, I want to address the leaking/steam valve issue that many other reviewers have complained of. In some photos I saw of this product before purchasing it, there was a plastic cap on the steam valve, but there was no plastic cap on mine. Bodum seems to have updated that part to a metal thingy that is, I hope, a lot more literal-fool-proof than whatever plastic piece they were using before. I took some pictures and added them to this review. To clarify: this kettle does not leak if you do not overfill it. If you fill it up to the fill line like a sane person, you will have a problem-free water boiling experience. Its design is in no way defective, and I have been using it several times per day for a few weeks now with absolutely zero leaking issues. It would probably leak if I filled it way past the line, but any kettle-- including the Stagg and other pricier options, as I've witnessed firsthand-- will leak through the lid holes if overfilled.
Pour rate and quality: Before getting to the Bodum, I want to mention the speed of the pour for the other kettles I've owned. The Fellow Stagg EKG pours at a rate that I can only describe as glacially slow-- water comes out of it in a very slow and controlled drip, which is nice for pour-over coffee but feels ridiculous when pouring a lot of water at once, such as for French press or tea. On the other hand, my Hario kettle pours much faster, but it still allows for some control. So, if those are the ends of the spectrum, then this kettle from Bodum kettle pours quickly, at a rate that is most like the Hario and is honestly more pleasurable to use than the Stagg. I suspect it agitated the coffee bed more, even if the stream doesn't feel as delicate or controlled as the Stagg. The water stream produced by the Bodum is steady and does not break up or dribble, even when pouring from a height of several inches. Really, by all objective measures such as this, the Bodum's performance rivals that of any higher-end offerings.
When filled to capacity with room temperature water, it boils in about 5 and a half minutes.
Really, my only qualms with this kettle are with the cork on the lid and handle. They feel expectedly flimsy, but as other reviewers have said, I'm optimistic that they could be replaced with a drawer knob or something when-- definitely when, not if-- they break. When I'm buying in this price range, it's definitely not something I can really fault Bodum for. This kettle also does feel a bit wobbly on the base, but only in the way of a table with a slightly short leg. The base is plastic and feels sort of cheap, because it is. Does that matter? Again, in this price range, I don't think it does.
In all the ways that count, this kettle functions identically to higher-end, pricier kettles. It's annoying to clean and has flimsy handles. The cord is short. It doesn't heat up with turbo speed or hold a ton of water. But so what? For less than $30, nothing will give you a good and controlled pour, a quick boil, and neat design.
UPDATE (April 2023): I've had this kettle for over a year now, and I'm still immensely pleased with it. The cork on the lid and handle is still holding up well-- honestly, it's still like new-- after daily use. It hasn't started to rust on the inside or anything. It's still in perfect shape; I'm honestly impressed. I have experienced the issue where water leaks out of the bottom a handful of times, but I think I've discovered what causes this: the mechanism that automatically turns off the kettle once it starts to boil is seemingly triggered by steam, and if I attempt to turn it back on to maintain boiling or if I reheat more water a few times in a row, the steam causes enough condensation buildup around the switch that some of the droplets come out. I don't think this is "leaking" at all; if anything, this is really my fault for trying to push the kettle beyond the scope of what the manufacturer intended.

The cork on the lid and handle is still holding up well-- honestly, it's still like new-- after daily use. It hasn't started to rust on the inside or anything. It's still in perfect shape; I'm honestly impressed. I have experienced the issue where water leaks out of the bottom a handful of times, but I think I've discovered what causes this: the mechanism that automatically turns off the kettle once it starts to boil is seemingly triggered by steam, and if I attempt to turn it back on to maintain boiling or if I reheat more water a few times in a row, the steam causes enough condensation buildup around the switch that some of the droplets come out. I don't think this is "leaking" at all; if anything, this is really my fault for trying to push the kettle beyond the scope of what the manufacturer intended.

I also own the plastic Bodum tea kettle and it has a regular spout - this one is SO MUCH better. I literally only picked this one bc it was metal and the long skinny spout was so cute, but it is actually wayyy more functional and didn't get hot boiling water everywhere.
No matter how hard I tried to limit the amount of water coming out of my old, standard kettle when doing pour overs, it was still way too much. After switching to this one though, it was a night and day difference, and the coffee tasted so much better.
The kettle itself is such a great shape and design, and the handle has this nice little angle to it that's conducive to pouring slowly. It heats up quick, isn't loud, and is so much cheaper than many of the other similar options out there. It's a very simple design though, just an on and off switch that auto shuts off when the water starts boiling, with no temperature controls, but I've found that's really all I need.
My only nitpick (and it's a small one) is I wish the knob on the top was just slightly taller. As it stands, I find that my knuckles will sometimes make contact with the top of the hot lid when pulling it off, but it's nowhere near a deal breaker, and only happens for a brief moment.
All in all, this thing is very close to perfect for us and our needs.

Lo único que le falta es control programable de temperatura, pero en este rango de precios no he visto ningúna que lo tenga.
