Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The gooseneck spout is the primary feature here. Pour-over methods like Chemex, V60, and Kalita Wave all benefit from the slow, controlled stream a gooseneck delivers, standard spouts make that kind of precision difficult. Bodum is a Danish brand well known for its French press and coffee accessories, so this kettle fits naturally in that product context.
At 2000 W, this kettle heats water faster than the standard 1500 W models that dominate this price bracket. Even without a listed capacity, a smaller boil volume reaches temperature quickly. The brushed stainless finish with dimensions of 11.5 x 5.3 x 8.8 in suggests a typical gooseneck profile, longer and narrower than a standard kettle, with most of the length taken up by the spout.
At $45.99 with 343 reviews at 4.3 stars, this is a reasonably priced entry into the gooseneck category from a brand with an existing coffee reputation. The 4.3-star average is fair; gooseneck kettles often receive mixed feedback on handle ergonomics and the learning curve for pouring, which can pull averages down slightly.

With 343 reviews at 4.3 stars and 34 recent monthly purchases, the Bodum 11940-57US-1 sees consistent, ongoing demand. Buyer feedback at this rating level typically reflects appreciation for the gooseneck design alongside occasional ergonomic preferences that vary person to person.
Why use a gooseneck kettle instead of a standard one?
A gooseneck spout gives you a slow, narrow, precisely controlled stream of water, essential for pour-over coffee methods where flow rate directly affects extraction. Standard spouts pour faster and in a wider stream, which makes that level of control difficult.
What is the capacity of the Bodum 11940-57US-1?
Capacity is not listed in the available specs. Check the current Amazon product page for confirmed volume information before purchasing.
How does 2000 W affect heating speed?
2000 W is higher than the 1500 W standard for US kettles. A smaller water volume will reach a full boil noticeably faster, useful when you want hot water quickly without waiting on the next pour.
