COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle (CO108-NK)
An all-steel gooseneck with temperature control - 304 interior, steel inner lid, steel gooseneck spout - and, unlike the Fellow Stagg, no silicone sitting in the water path.
The verdict: No-contact plastic
Cosori builds this gooseneck so the water only touches steel: a 304 stainless interior, a 100% stainless inner lid and bottom, and a 304 stainless gooseneck spout - Cosori's phrasing is "your water never touches plastic." That makes it a notch cleaner than the Fellow Stagg, whose silicone lid gasket and submerged probe sleeve keep it at silicone-only. The handle and power base are plastic but sit outside the water path. The one part we can't fully pin down is the base temperature-sensor seal, conventionally a silicone gasket; the evidence points to it sitting below the sealed base plate rather than in the water, so we rate it no-contact-plastic, with the note that it would be silicone-only (still peer to the Fellow) if a teardown ever shows that seal touching water.
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Water contact |
|---|---|---|
| interior / body 304 food-grade stainless | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes primary 🔥 |
| lid (underside) Cosori states "100% stainless steel inner lid & bottom" | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes incidental 🔥 |
| gooseneck spout | Stainless Steel 304 / 18-8 | Yes primary 🔥 |
| base temperature-sensor seal conventional silicone sensor gasket; evidence points to it sitting below the sealed base plate, not in the water path - unconfirmed by teardown | Silicone | No |
| handle plastic handle, no water contact; specific resin unspecified | Plastic other / unspecified | No |
| power base 360-degree power base housing the electronics, no water contact | Plastic other / unspecified | No |
The CO108-NK is a 0.8 L, 1200 W electric gooseneck kettle with five temperature presets (170-212 degrees F) and the thin gooseneck spout pour-over needs. A Bluetooth "smart" sibling is sold as the CS108-NK; the water path is the same. At around $70 it undercuts the Fellow Stagg while giving up little on pour control.
Pros
- All-steel water path with temperature control - no silicone in the water path, unlike the Fellow Stagg
- Gooseneck pour control with five presets for pour-over
- Cheaper than the premium gooseneck standard
Cons
- Base temperature-sensor seal material is undocumented (conventionally silicone; evidence points to it being outside the water path)
- 0.8 L capacity is small
- Owned by VeSync (Levoit/Cosori family); not a plastic-free-focused brand
Notes
- Capacity: 0.8 L; five presets (170-212 F). Bluetooth sibling sold as CS108-NK with the same water path
- Cosori's product pages carry a blanket California Prop 65 warning applied to every Cosori kettle, including the all-steel ones - it does not single out this model
