Bodum Melior gooseneck electric water kettle review
Build
It is made of a good grade of stainless, has a conical shape body, and has minimal inside parts and no plastic water level window for liquid to get stuck in or leak out of.
Design
A small, countertop electric kettle with an attractive design. I love the matte black against the cork finishes, and it looks great next to my coffee maker. The cord isn’t too long and is easy to hide away. The on switch is located at the base and isn’t too big, and it turns off automatically when the water is boiled.
- Capacity 27 oz
- Width (cm) 23.250
- Height (cm) 8.750
- Depth (cm) 13.250
Handle
The cork handle is not only eco-friendly, but also non slip and comfortable to hold, which aids in controlling the speed and consistency of the water flow. Its cork handle and knob catches the eye and provides high levels of insulation along with safety from the heat.
Spout
The gooseneck spout is really cute and creates a gorgeous pour that’s easily controlled for pour over coffees and such.
How to boil water?
Step 1: Add water at or below the Max Fill line. Please do not remove the plastic piece found inside the kettle. As long as the pour stays at or below the Max Fill line, water will not come in contact with plastic at any point of the pour or boil.

Bodum Melior gooseneck electric water kettle customer review
Very practical and useful, it works perfectly!
Size: 27 Ounces Color: Matte Black
I saw very different comments before making the purchase, but I can say that I liked the product very much and that it works perfectly. The first thing is that the colour in matte black goes very well, it is discreet and elegant, although there is also another version in silver. Note that the capacity of 0.8 lts is smaller than many other 1.7 lts kettles on the market, in my case it goes well because I use a couple of large cups to make tea and even have plenty of water, I use it on the terrace, not in the kitchen. It can also be used to heat water for French Bodum presses of equivalent capacity that make coffee. Everything works perfectly but it is IMPORTANT, as the manual says, fill it with at least 0.5 lts of water and no more than where it is marked as the maximum level (the mark is indicated on the top of the tube inside the kettle). Another VERY IMPORTANT thing is not to remove the plastic that you bring inside (often doubt as I see), as it serves to detect when it should turn off and prevent a spill of water; and of course, always put the lid on it. One thing I liked is that the goose neck serves to serve with great precision and control the flow of water when emptying it into the cup, excellent the latter.
