I like the temperature control and ability to maintain temperature.

The gooseneck gives very good control over pouring the water

You get a nice gooseneck kettle, precise temperature control (with 5 preset temps), a count-up timer if you choose when you lift off the pot, and it looks good

Perfect size, heats quickly, excellent temperature control and accuracy.

Rapid and accurate temperature control.

I am very happy with this, if precise hot water control is what is needed for best coffee/tea/whatever

The controls all worked and responded, but the water never heated.

but I wanted something with more acurate temp control, finer control over pouring and no open flame

:The controls are not well thought out

This is just very poor quality control and design with Bonavita.**Please not the picture doesn't show the full error

And the gooseneck spout makes controlling the pour a breeze

Great product, very durable, very precise temperature control, quick heating.

the controlled the spout offers other may find the flow a bit slow.

The controls are very user-friendly, the handle protects your hand from the metal kettle, and the base is a very simple and visually pleasing look

It doesn't heat up quite as fast as some electric kettles I've owned, but it's fast enough and the digital controls more than compensate

Since water tends to cool off several degrees once removed from its heat source, I find this feature to be invaluable because it allows me greater control of the temperature variable, taking my coffee snobbery to dangerously high levels bordering those of organic chemistry

The thin spout is awesome, giving me precise control when pouring

It heats up fairly quickly and has great temperature control for pourover coffee

The way that the spout extends from the pot might be a design feature you want for better control while pouring, but it is also a slight hazard while sitting on the counter

Just reiterating what others have said, I love the precision control and built in timer, but I wish it heated up faster

TL;DR great control for pour-overs with accurate temperature control, good durability

Heats water fast, works great, great real time temperature control.

The goose neck is great for doing pour over and any other task that requires precise control of the location of water

And the spout on this kettle is thin making for a much better controlled pour

Precise temperature controls, pours evenly, heats quickly

It's fast and temp control is great

The first one stopped working - the controls just flickered when I hit the on/off button.

The controls are intuitive and responsive

It allows for solid control for pour-overs

The gooseneck is very nice and provides pretty good flow control.

I will admit that the controls are a little weird at first, and the relays inside clicking on and off are a little on the loud side, but both of these are minor issues compared to how helpful with, and I would imagine pretty unavoidable with any programmable kettle

Temperature control works without much fuss, gooseneck gives great control

A pleaasure to use with very accurate pouring, precise temperature control, and adequate capacity for a household of two tea nd coffee enthusiasts

The electronic controls are clumsy when compared to the Cuisinart Perfect Temp simple presets.

The build quality of this thing is great and the goose neck spout gives you great control over your pour

Temperature control is great and its light enough to allow for good pouring control, highly recommended.

I LOVE the settings of the Bonavita, the ability to hold the temperature for an hour, and the fine pour control

that require proper temperature control.

Excellent control over pouring

Great temperature and pour control

The first one stopped working - the controls just flickered when I hit the on/off button.

For tea lovers who want better control over their water temp, this is a must-buy!

" the temperature+gooseneck spout feels very nice to pour, gives accurate control

I can get a perfect tasting coffee every time with accurate temperature control

Furthermore, the design of this kettle is so "user friendly"; you can pour over tea or coffee with great control and ease!

My goal was a kettle—for $100 or less—that gave me precise control over temp, unlike some other variable-temp kettles that only offer 3–5 preset temps

nice balance and control during brewing

I really enjoy the control this kettle gives over the temperature, however it is pretty loud, and after months of owning it the spring lid started getting stuck and then just broke off

Spout shape gives good control over the pour.

The kettle itself is incredible and perfect for drink enthusiasts who need reliable temperature control.

Fine pour control with goose neck

Goosneck provides incredible control over the pour

The controls are intuitive, and you can easily set it to heat water to different temperatures

Really fast, and excellent control for pour over coffee

Love the temp control and preset options

but I love the control you get with a pour-over kettle

Easy to adjust, intuitive controls

I find the controls un-intuitive and confusing.

Great pour control

The gooseneck makes brewing pour over coffee much easier (controls rate that coffee brews)

With the gooseneck spout, you have great control of water flow

Correct temperature control is essential for brewing coffee and this thing is not what it used to be in that department, unless I just happened to get a lemon.------Updated review:

The automatic controls for temperature are very easy to use, and a nice feature to have

All are outstanding, but the Bonavita's allow better pour control because the spout is more pointy compared to the Hario.

but I was waiting to find one that had a goose neck to take advantage of improved control for pour over coffee

Perfect temperature controlled kettle with correct spout for pour-over coffee.

Good preset temperature controls, nice 2 hour maintain temperature setting

Really poor quality control.

More precise control is required for greatness, and you get that here.

Precise temperature control

Heats quickly and the goose neck spout allows for great pour control

Gooseneck allows for well controlled pouring.

Precise temperature control, extremely rapid heating, and a Hold button to maintain temperature made this a favorite staple at my workplace for pour-over coffee and tea

The controls are fine, but not the best either

I think the neck gives you a nice, controlled pour, which is important if you are a coffee snob pouring over fresh grounds.

The gooseneck spout allows for slow, controlled pouring without any dripping

The gooseneck is perfect for slow, controlled pours

I gave it two stars for the gooseneck feature, which is great for pour over coffee, but if you're looking for accurate temperature control, this kettle is useless.

Easy to use, such great control of pouring for pour overs, absolutely no complaints at all

Super good water temperature control for pour-over coffee and tea

Pouring with it took a bit of getting used to, but we love it much more than our old kettle that lacked temperature control.

Love the gooseneck, love the temperature control, love the extra cover for the buttons

I love the temperature control

People like me who drink black tea and green tea would appreciate the temperature controls.

The kettle appears to be well-made, the controls are logical, easily understood and the gooseneck spout makes accurate, spill-free pouring easy.

I like the controls and the pour spout and handle shape make it easy to pour hot water, which is good.

The controls are easy to understand and, once you set the temperature, it will always default to that temperature when you turn it on in the future unless you change it again.

The spout allowed for good control of water flow.

Great controlled pour, comfortable handle.

The gooseneck spout is perfect for pour over coffee, and really gives you nice control over the flow.

I know the gooseneck is more intended for pour-over coffee, but I love the exact control it gives me for tea too

I won't call the controls intuitive but a few minutes of messing around and you'll be able to figure it out

Would have loved it even better if it had a little more intuitive controls

I would recommend this kettle if you are a coffee or tea fan that likes to brew with accurate temperatures and pour control

I love the temp control

The controls are fine, but not the best either

Great variable control with temperature-hold function

I wanted a stainless steel kettle with precise temperature control to make different types of teas, so this one fit the bill

This kettle reliably and quickly heats water, the controls are very easy to figure out, and it's wonderfully ergonomic to pour.

The precision temp control, hold temp feature, and nice pour control via the long gooseneck are indispensable features

; a slight tip gives a slow, controlled pour with zero splash-back.

It heats up water so quickly, and I love the ability to choose precise temperatures (in both F and C) which works great for tea lovers who need different temperatures for different types of teas

The size is also great (1 L)
