The verdict
The kettle pour-over communities keep recommending to people who would rather not pay for temperature control. It is a 1.2L stainless stovetop kettle — Hario says it pours best filled to about 800ml — with the slim gooseneck the method actually requires, and it works on gas, electric and induction ranges. There is no temperature readout at all, which is the trade: pair it with a thermometer and you reach the same water as an electric kettle for a fraction of the money.
