Flagged 10 September 2026
The r/pourover 2026 kettle showdown thread reports serious quality-control issues with the base, calling it a common failure point, and it must be ordered directly from OXO because major retailers don't carry it. A kettle with a known common failure point is a poor value at any price.

Until the Fellow Stagg EKG hit the scene with all of its fancy pour-over features, Oxo’s 1-Liter Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle was our favorite. The gooseneck spout allows for precise and even pouring, and this kettle has the same simple single-dial control panel as the standard-spout Oxo electric kettle, allowing you to set the temperature in single-degree increments from 140ºF to 212ºF. It boils water quickly too. Four cups of water reached 212ºF in just four minutes—nearly three minutes faster than comparably priced electric gooseneck kettles. It’ll also automatically hold the target temp for 30 minutes.

The gooseneck design is perfect for delicate teas and pour-over coffee because it forces the water to come out more slowly. This also makes it less likely to splash boiling hot water all over your hands. The best part? There are five preset temperature settings: 170°F for white tea, 180°F for green tea, 195°F for oolong tea, 205°F for coffee, and 212°F for black tea (boiling).

I was happy with it in my initial tests, but after more research, I found many complaints about poor durability and customer service. I’ll hang on to it longer to see how it holds up.

The mid-range OXO and Brewista are good kettles in an awkward price bracket; if you are spending £90-110, you can usually stretch to the Fellow, and the difference is real.
