Hartwick Steadypour Gooseneck Kettle

You do not need to spend much to pour well, and the Steadypour is the proof we point people to first. It is plain brushed stainless with a welded gooseneck spout that narrows the stream enough to wet grounds gently and evenly — the whole point of the shape. Boil on any stovetop including induction, let the water rest about 30 seconds off the boil to drop into the low-90s °C, and pour. One-liter capacity handles a big mug plus filter-rinse water. The lid seats firmly so it will not shift mid-pour, and the handle stands off far enough from the body to stay comfortable. No thermometer, no coating, no frills — just the cheapest honest way into real pour-over control.
