Our verdict

Stovetop gooseneck with the most controllable pour under £50. It earns a 4.5/5 because, after measuring 3–8 g/s and pushing it through our standard 40-shot protocol, it does what it claims — consistently and without drama. Best for: Pour-over brewers who already own a hob and want control cheap.
