Excellent questions specifying use, goals. I think the Corvo EKG Pro Electric Kettle is what you're looking for. Beautiful & strong, nerded out with all kinds of tech & features, the best & latest on the market. No gooseneck kettle here. I think it's important to note, I have seen Fellow electric kettles in service at high-end coffeeshops. So they know what's good.

My electric kettles are on the cheaper side. I have a SS Delonghi that works great, and a Farberware I got for $4 at a Goodwill. Again, works pretty well.

As far as analog is concerned, the only Fellow kettles in stock are gooseneck. And bafflingly, the stainless steel Fellow gooseneck kettle says in description, "Electric and gas safe. Not compatible with induction cooktops." 🤨 I don't understand why stainless steel couldn't be used with induction.

I know it doesn't win in the looks department, but the Zojirushi recommendation was otherwise spot on. They have a well-earned reputation for building intelligent design, robust appliances; I love Zojirushi.

Word to the wise, if you also get an analog/stovetop kettle: get one with a whistle. Even if it's detachable...use the whistle. It can be annoying at times, but it's still a thoughtful low-tech safety feature that can save your stovetop & possibly your house.
