Electric kettles
Gooseneck and everyday kettles compared on speed, temperature control and price.
Decide first whether you need temperature control. Pour-over coffee and delicate teas benefit from water held below boiling, which is what gooseneck models with a dial are for. If you only ever boil, a basic 1500 watt kettle does the same job for a third of the price, so pay for the spout and the dial only if you will use them.
