Fellow - Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle - White

I am very pleased with this kettle. For starters, I love its minimalist, modern design. It is also super easy to use and gives me so much control over the water temperature. I am especially excited for its 60 minute hold feature because sometimes there are things you need to do in between preparing the perfect cup of coffee and tea that take longer than expected. The water will not get cold if I take a few extra minutes to finish what I am doing. I also love how quickly the water heats up in the kettle. It is just very convenient and efficient. Moreover, the Fahrenheit and Celsius feature is super helpful, especially when following a recipe and specific and precise temperatures are needed. The water pours so smoothly! Honestly, I do not have any complaints or concerns about this kettle. It does not overheat, and it makes making a delicious cup of coffee or tea super easy. In a household of coffee and tea lovers, this kettle is wonderful!

The Fellow - Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle is a great example of a small kitchen appliance done right. With the simple push-button/ dial on the right and the round aesthetically matching LCD screen on the left getting your water the right temperature for a great pour-over of freshly ground coffee beans of your choice has never been easier. Mine came defaulted to Fahrenheit which is great for me but you can switch it to Celsius if that is your preference. Other than that just set the warmer to 60 minutes or less depending on your use scenario and morning routine perhaps and you are ready to have this sleek little kettle as part of your daily routine or perhaps a weekend special occasion coffee adventure trying different fresh beans. While this kettle may be aimed squarely at the fresh coffee pour over market lets not forget that there are many other uses in a variety of food preparation situations where it will also come in very handy. Boiling water at precise temperatures is a very useful option to have in your arsenal of small kitchen appliances. This Fellow - Stagg EKG Electric Pour Over is a well executed piece of artistic kitchen appliance that can come in handy for the coffee pour over expert or for other things like making some instant mashed potatoes or ramen noodles. It is a little pricey I suppose but I have not seen anything else that does what The Fellow does while doing it with such simplified elegance. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for such a device!

The Kettle itself is amazing, the issue is the spout. I happened to rest the spout on a ceramic mug and the black matte transferred to the mug. Yes I know you shouldn't do that.. I was on the phone and didn't realize what I had done and then saw the transfer and couldn't believe it. Partially my fault, but it shouldn't have transferred that easily.

Bought one last year, it is nothing short of spectacular! It saves me a lot of time, gives me the exact temperature for my daily coffee fix. I would not buy anything else!

The checklist for a successful pour-over, coffee-making experience must include a way to heat up the water in a manner that is accurate and repeatable. If you’ve done this before, you know that a controlled, slow pour of the heated water is a critical feature. This Fellow Stagg EKG pour-over kettle is an attractive counter-top appliance that we’re adding to our kitchen tool kit. The Fellow Stagg EKG kettle has the simplest of controls which includes (viewed from the front): 1- an LCD readout on the left, 2- a POWER switch with dial-in temperature setting on the right, which also has a stop watch function, 3- a Fahrenheit/Celcius slide switch on the rear left panel, (set and forget) 4- A slide switch on the rear right panel switch which HOLDS or maintains the desired temperature for an hour. (you can probably set and forget this, too.) Operation requires FILLing the kettle with water up to the MAX line, setting the temperature and waiting for the 1200 watt heater to do its thing. It’s fast and, if you’ve set the hold, it maintains the water temperature for the hour. This is where the Stagg EKG design makes your coffee predictable and repeatable. The spout design means it is virtually impossible to pour too fast. We found the speed is just right and controlling the flow is easy. The kettle capacity at the MAX line was sufficient to fill almost 4, 8oz coffee cups. The EKG has a nice balance to it which helps compensate for the tilt required to get the hot water flowing.The lid fits snugly so it’s not popping off. You will need to be careful with the vent holes, which, though they are off to one side, sends steam toward the knob. It wasn’t a problem, because we don’t fuss with the cap while pouring. This is a lovely addition to the pour-over coffee-making process. It looks good while improving our coffee. It helps make us look like we know what we’re doing. We can endorse that.

Great purchase. It heats up quick. Love the looks and easy to use. We love to drink tea every morning and this makes the perfect brew for the different teas.

Great design. Looks so nice on our counter it doesn’t feel like you have to hide it like other appliances. The white finish is so nice and the matte metal gives it a nice weight. The counter weight it has on the handle really helps, too. It heats up insanely fast and the hold feature that’ll keep it got for you for a while is great because I’m forgetful. The only small thing is change is out the “max” water line inside it in the opposite side so I can see it as I’m filling it up. Right now, it’s on the side if the handle (on the inside) and I have to keep twisting my hand to check if the water level is right when filing it up. With all that said, I do wish it was a bit cheaper. The price is hard to justify for something that only does one thing.

This kettle is much form as it is functional. Let's just say it looks great (And it comes in several color options), so it's something people would like to 'show off' in the kitchen. The base is a perfect square, very minimalistic with a matrix display on one corner that is barely noticeable when off, and a single control knob on the other. On the rear of the base there's the power cable and two switches: One for the hold function and other for the F/C reading setting. The kettle is all metal, except for its base where it holds the heating element, and the handle is a high-quality plastic (for my black model) or real wood for other color options. The manufacturer also sells replacement handles in walnut or maple if you feel like splurging on a wooden handle. The gooseneck design and the balanced handle allows for a very precise and steady pouring. This design manages to make it comfortable to hold while pouring, and the narrow gooseneck lets pour the right volume of water. The precise temperature control is incredible, with precision up to a single degree. It uses a 'PID Controller', which is a system used in industrial applications. Basically, it continuously measures the current water temperature and adjusts the power level appropriately to reach the target temperature, without 'overshooting' like conventional kettles. Why is this precision important? Coffee burns acid at the boiling temperature of 212 degrees, but is much less acid if brewed around 190-195 F. So this kettle is ideal for pour over, which is basically pouring the coffee beans into a (paper) filter, let it bloom with a bit of water (this is key to control acidity), wait about 30 seconds to let the beans air out the acid chemicals and then slowly pour in circles for an even brew, into a decanter or mug. I can now consistently get brew my coffee without heartburn and tastes great. The hold function (switch on the back) sets it to keep the water temperature for up to 1 hour. Also note that holding on the knob activates a brewing stopwatch. They though of everything. Now the tea drinker in the house also loves this kettle, so much that we put away the tea kettle and just use this exclusively. The temperature control also works great for different teas that need to brew at different temperatures (212 F for black tea also works great with this kettle). There are a couple of considerations however: Because it's all metal, the body of the kettle gets uncomfortably hot, and particularly, the cover has vent holes so it gets too hot to remove without using kitchen mittens. Also pressing the on button sometimes does not turn on the kettle. I found that pressing the button, lifting the kettle and pressing it again works. Not sure if this quirk is a safety feature, but I did not find an explanation for it on the manual. Overall, if you're nearly obsessed about good coffee, a precision kettle makes a big difference, and reduces the acidity of the brewed coffee, and let's be honest, it looks great.

There are three Stagg kettles. The non electric, the electric and the electric ekg+. This is this electric and it is worth it. If you can get it on a sale even better. This is the top of the line electric kettle with a great design to boot. The electric model is heavier than the regular Stagg kettle. Because of the heating coils at the base. It is also slightly less capacity. 0.9liter vs 1 liter on the non electric model. Water boils pretry fast, if memory serves correct its faster than my old bonavita. The dials are nice and tactile. The led read outs are bright. Overall, with the slightly smaller capacity it has all the benefits of the Fellow Stagg kettles. A precise pouring spout, high quality finish. Nice weight distribution to control your flow rate. It is expensive, yes, but it is worth it. Also I has a hard time finding the white color so I had to jump on it once it was back in stock
