Temperature control · review
A forty-ounce stovetop gooseneck with a published 2.5 mm (0.10 in)/s flow rate, a rotating spout and a 160-to-212 °F thermometer.
Where we land on it The only kettle on this shelf that publishes a flow rate — 2.5 mm (0.10 in)/s — which is the one thing a gooseneck exists to control. It goes on a cooktop, so there is no thermostat, only a dial you read.
A gooseneck kettle is a flow-control device. That is the whole reason the spout is that shape, and it is why these kettles cost more than a round one.
Eight listings here, and exactly one puts a number on it. Whether 2.5 mm (0.10 in)/s is fast or slow is impossible to judge against this shelf, because nothing else publishes a rate to compare — but it is the only listing that treats the defining feature as a specification rather than as a description.
The thermometer reads from 160 °F upwards, which covers every coffee temperature and the upper half of tea. Below that you are guessing.
That is the honest limit of a stovetop kettle: you control the heat with the cooktop and read the result, rather than typing a number and waiting.

It is the rate the water leaves the spout, and it is the only such figure on this shelf. A gooseneck exists to make the stream slow and steady; every other listing here calls its flow "steady" or "controlled" without a number behind it.
It is a different machine. There is no thermostat and no keep-warm, so you watch the dial and take it off. In exchange there is no electronics, no base unit and no shut-off cycle, and it works on any cooktop including induction.
Both are 40-ounce stainless stovetop kettles with a thermometer and a triple-layer base. This one publishes a flow rate and a thermometer range; the Apusu publishes neither but states plainly that it is not electric and costs less.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.

A pour-over on a cooktop, especially induction, where flow control matters more than automation
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for coffee equipment and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
1 L · variable temperature · hold · narrow spout
Almost everything the Fellow Stagg does, for meaningfully less money and with a liter (34 oz) of capacity instead of 900 ml. It is less beautiful, and that is genuinely the main difference.
Best for: Daily pour-over where the money is better spent on the grinder.
0.8 L · 5 presets · keep-warm
A gooseneck spout and variable temperature for well under half the price of the specialists. The pour is good rather than excellent, and for most people learning pour-over that is enough.
Best for: A first gooseneck, to find out whether pour-over is a habit or a phase.
0.9 L · ±1 °C (±1.8 °F) hold · counterbalanced gooseneck
The best-pouring kettle sold, and the hold function matters more than the thermometer. Expensive for boiling water — but if you brew pour-over daily, it is the accessory that most improves the cup.
Best for: Daily pour-over, where flow rate is the variable you are trying to control.
