Which is better for pour-over coffee?

The COSORI. Its gooseneck spout and 104°F to 212°F thermostat let you control pour rate and water temperature, which the MegaChef cannot do.

Which boils more water at once?

The MegaChef, at 1.7 L versus 0.8 L for the COSORI. The MegaChef is the better pick for filling a large teapot or cooking.

Does the COSORI really hold temperature?

Yes. It has a keep warm function plus a STRIX thermostat, so it holds your set temperature between 104°F and 212°F.

Both use stainless steel bodies and boil-dry protection. The COSORI's STRIX thermostat is a widely used, proven component, but neither brand publishes a lifespan figure.

Is the COSORI worth it over the cheaper MegaChef?

Only if you need temperature control or a gooseneck spout. For plain boiling, the MegaChef's larger capacity and lower wattage are enough. Check current prices on both before deciding.

Can I make baby formula with either?

The COSORI has a dedicated Baby Formula Mode and low-temperature settings. The MegaChef only boils, so you would have to cool the water yourself.
