For a careful pour, not just hot water
The narrow spout is useful when the recipient wants to direct water over a pour-over brewer. It makes less difference to someone filling a French press or pressing a button on a coffee machine. Start with their current brewer before choosing an upgrade.
Decide how it will heat
A stovetop model keeps the controls simple but must suit their stove. An electric kettle needs a convenient outlet and room for its base. Variable temperature and a keep-warm setting can be useful to an enthusiastic brewer; they are optional conveniences rather than requirements for every gift.
Look beyond the feature list
Prioritize a comfortable handle, a lid that stays secure and a flow they can control. Capacity should suit the amount they make, including the minimum fill level on an electric model. Include the model's instructions rather than assuming it works like the kettle it replaces.
