Hario V60 Buono Drip Kettle 1.2L
Hario accessory · $52 · budget tier
Overview
The Hario V60 Buono is the gooseneck kettle the V60 was designed around — same brand, same pour shape, a fifth of the Fellow Stagg’s price. For users who already know they want to learn V60 technique but are not ready to spend $195 on a kettle, the Buono is the canonical starter pick.
The trade-off is clear and honest: no temperature control. The kettle boils water and stops — there is no PID, no hold-temp, no app. For brewing medium and dark roasts at just-off-boil (95-96°C), this is fine — pour within thirty seconds of the boil and the temperature lands in range. For users who rotate light Ethiopian roasts that want 96-99°C alongside dark Brazilian roasts at 88-92°C, a $15 infrared thermometer pairs with the Buono and covers the same job the Stagg’s electronics handle automatically.
The stovetop construction is the underrated feature. Gas, electric coil, glass-top, and induction all work, and there is no power cord or base station to find counter space for. The 1.2L size comfortably brews a 6-cup Chemex or two consecutive V60s without refilling. The build is stainless steel — not the polished mirror finish of the Stagg, but functional and easy to clean. For weekend brewers and households just starting with pour-over, the Buono is the right kettle until the user decides they brew often enough to justify the temperature control upgrade.
Pros
- OEM gooseneck spout from the brand that defined the V60 pour shape
- Stovetop construction works on gas, electric, and induction ranges
- 1.2L capacity comfortably brews for two people or a 6-cup Chemex
- No electronics or batteries — outlasts every electric kettle in the category
Cons
- No temperature control — pair with a thermometer if you brew light roasts
- No hold-temp feature, so brewing has to happen right after the boil
- Handle gets warm during long boils — pot holders recommended
