Bonavita1.0L Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle.
The verdict in one line: Bonavita's own manual lists six factory presets, 60C to 98C, that hit or bracket every water temperature our pour-over and AeroPress guides call for, backed by an up to one hour heat-and-hold, though it ships with no integrated scale and a power rating that Bonavita's manual and its Amazon listing state differently.
The fit meter
Not a score. A count.
Every requirement below comes straight out of our own brew guides. Each segment is one requirement; hover or focus any segment to see the exact check it stands for. Lit means the published spec meets the recipe. We do not light what we cannot cite.

Plain speech
Buy it, or don't.
For you if
- You brew pour-over and want a preset that lands exactly on our guide's 96C top-of-range number, one of the kettle's six factory settings per Bonavita's own manual
- You brew AeroPress and want both published water temperatures on tap: AeroPress's own 80-85C window and Counter Culture's hotter 96C recipe are all factory presets
- You want the kettle to hold a set temperature while you weigh and grind, addressed by the up to one hour heat-and-hold function in the manual
Not for you if
- You want a fully continuous by-degree dial: Bonavita's own manual documents six factory preset temperatures selected with a +/- button, not a stated single-degree-adjustable range, even though Whole Latte Love's listing describes setting 'your own desired temperature by degree'
- You still need a separate scale: neither guide's required gear list shrinks, and the manual's technical data covers power and capacity only, no integrated scale
- You want a clean answer on wattage before buying: Bonavita's own manual states 1000W rated power input, but the Amazon listing's title states 1200W, a discrepancy this page can't resolve beyond flagging it

Bonavita’s 1.0L Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle against our numbers
Bonavita’s own product domain, bonavita.co, blocked every automated fetch attempt this run with an HTTP 403, and bonavitaworld.com would not connect at all. In place of a manufacturer product page, this dossier runs against Bonavita’s own BV382510V user manual, which states the same six factory preset temperatures, capacity and power rating a manufacturer page would carry, since it is Bonavita’s own document rather than a retailer’s summary. Two specialist listings, The Concentrated Cup and Whole Latte Love, fill in materials, dimensions and display accuracy the manual excerpt did not cover.
Our pour-over guide calls for water at 90 to 96C off the boil, and the kettle’s 96C factory preset sits right at that upper bound. Our AeroPress guide cites two published temperatures, AeroPress’s own 80 to 85C range and Counter Culture’s hotter 96C recipe, and all three numbers, 80C, 85C and 96C, are exact factory presets in the manual’s Operation section. The heat-and-hold function, rated for up to one hour, also answers Counter Culture’s pour-over guidance to keep water hot through the brew rather than let a kettle cool mid-pour.
Two gaps are worth stating plainly. Neither guide’s gear list drops the separate digital scale requirement, and nothing in the manual or the two retailer listings describes an integrated scale. And the manual’s own Technical Data section states 1000W rated power input, while the Amazon listing’s title states 1200W; this page cites both and does not pick a winner.
FAQ
Does this kettle hit the water temperature our pour-over guide calls for?
Yes. Our pour-over guide calls for 90 to 96C at contact, and 96C, the top of that range, is one of the kettle’s six factory preset temperatures per Bonavita’s own manual.
Can it reach both water temperatures in the AeroPress guide?
Yes. AeroPress’s own official range is 80 to 85C, and Counter Culture’s alternative recipe runs at 96C. The manual’s Operation section lists 80C, 85C and 96C as three of the kettle’s six factory presets.
Does it come with a scale?
No. Bonavita’s manual covers rated power input and capacity, with no scale or weighing feature listed. Our pour-over and AeroPress guides both list a digital scale as separate required gear.
How much water does it hold?
Bonavita’s manual states a rated capacity of max 33.8 oz (1.0 L). That comfortably covers our pour-over guide’s 250g one-cup pour, with room to scale up within a single fill.
Is the power rating 1000W or 1200W?
Sources disagree. Bonavita’s own BV382510V manual states a rated power input of 1000W in its Technical Data section. The Amazon listing’s product title states 1200W. This page cites both rather than assume one is correct.
Sources & data
- Bonavita BV382510V user manual, hosted via ManualsLibBonavita's manufacturer domain (bonavita.co) returned HTTP 403 on every fetch attempt this run, and bonavitaworld.com was unreachable, so this stands in as the primary technical source per doctrine: it is Bonavita's own BV382510V manual, not a third party's editorial content. Fetched this run for the Technical Data section (rated power input 1000W, capacity max 33.8oz/1.0L) and the Operation section (six factory preset temperatures, heat-and-hold up to one hour, Commercial UL rating, 1 year limited warranty).
- The Concentrated Cup, Bonavita 1.0L Digital Variable Temperature Gooseneck Electric KettleSpecialist retailer product page, fetched this run, corroborating capacity (1 Liter/33.8oz) and materials, and supplying dimensions (10.25 x 6.00 x 8.50 in) and the gooseneck spout description not stated in the manual excerpt fetched.
- Whole Latte Love, Bonavita Variable Temperature 1.0L Gooseneck Electric KettleSpecialist retailer product page, fetched this run, supplying the LED display accuracy spec (within 1%, typically +/- 2F) and confirming the Commercial UL rating and six-preset description.
- Amazon, Bonavita BV382510V listingVerified this is the exact BV382510V model, 1.0L, Variable Temperature Gooseneck, not a bundle or different size. Title also states 1200W, which disagrees with the manual's 1000W rated power input; noted as an open discrepancy rather than silently blended. Fetched this run.
