Full comparison

The Brewista Artisan at $160 and the Timemore Fish Smart at $129 are the closest match in this entire kettle comparison. Both offer LCD displays, variable temperature control, temperature hold, and gooseneck spouts. The $31 price difference is the most meaningful distinguishing factor alongside capacity.

The Brewista holds 1.0L versus the Timemore's 0.8L, a 200ml difference that matters if you regularly brew large volumes or brew for two without refilling. The Brewista also runs at 1200W versus the Timemore's 1000W, reaching temperature slightly faster. Neither difference is dramatic.

The Timemore Fish Smart is notably lighter at 0.95kg versus the Brewista's 1.2kg. For users who value a lighter kettle during the pour, this is a genuine ergonomic advantage. Timemore's build quality on this model is well reviewed in specialty coffee communities.

For most single-cup brewers, the Timemore Fish Smart at $129 is the better value: same core functionality, lighter body, and $31 saved. The Brewista earns its higher price if you need the extra 200ml of capacity or prefer a more widely recognized brand.
