Fellow Stagg EKG

Based on 149 comments across 4 communities
TL;DR
A precise, fast-heating gooseneck kettle praised for to-the-degree temperature control, hold function, and standout looks. It's a daily favorite for pour-over; the main knocks are the high price and a slow pour for larger volumes.

I got my Fellow Stagg EKG used at a discount from a coworker. But now that I'm accustomed to the convenience, I probably would still pay full price for it now if I had to replace it.

Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle: I mean, it looks nice, sure. But my first one had a defective base that required email after email after email to convince the company to activate my warranty. Just get the Bonavita. It does the same thing and is often on sale.

My 2 year old Fellow Kettle went into the trash the other day.

I have a Fellow Stagg EKG kettle (it’s got a gooseneck spout because I also make pourover coffee with it, I’ve seen it for £125.)

I recently made the switch to an electric kettle myself and it is so worth it imo, especially for how fast it heats up and being able to set a specific temperature. The one I have (Fellow Stagg EKG) you can even hold the set temperature for up to an hour

I have the Fellow Stagg EKG version and there's some kind of flow limiter in the gooseneck, it's genuinely slow to fill up gaiwans and stuff. Corvo would have been a better choice, in hindsight

Over the past ten years I’ve gone through two Bonavitas, a Brewista, a Fellow Stagg EKG, and I’m on my second Fellow Stagg

I use the Fellow Stagg EKG and it stores the temperature setting between uses. The temperature control dial has tactile feedback and makes a click sound with each increment.

The Stagg is quieter and I think more attractive, but it heats slower, pours painfully slower (17.44ml/s max pour vs 35.71ml/s for the bonavita), and has issues with the feedback loop when it gets near temperature.

They all have a rim but the only kettle that I have an issue with completely emptying the kettle for drying is the Stagg. If I want to dry it completely I have to turn it upside down and dab the rim with a paper towel.

I really like the fellow Stagg ekg for a few reasons. 1. No beeps. No sound but water heating up. I am not sure about the timemore but every other kettle I have tried feels the need to beep.

While I love my Stagg as I use it for V60 pour overs and tea, I do think I could go without it for espresso with the Flair and could have my old straightforward Krups Savoy kettle. I only upgraded to the Stagg because I’m reckless with money and I wanted a fancy gooseneck 😁

Fellow Stagg EKG is legit. I own two of them, and they are just lovely kettles to work with.

Maybe controversial opinion, but I *hate* the Fellow Stagg EKG I got and I feel silly for having spent so much on it. I hate it so much that it has left a bad taste in my mouth about Fellow as a brand. Their grinders live up to your expectations? I haven't looked at Rancilio at all.

I found one today at a garage sale for $2.00 Some oldsters were downsizing and were clearing out their house. I brought it home and all the features worked

The kettle should be the [Fellow Stagg EKG](https://fellowproducts.com/products/stagg-ekg-electric-pour-over-kettle?variant=40594389532772). Just got one recently myself of the Copper style

> Fellow Stagg EKG Just get a normal kettle from an established brand or buy a cheap one. Fellow are great at making products but not great at making products that last.

bought the Fellow Stagg EKG on sale for $130. $330 all in for as good a pour over setup as you could really ask for.

I bought the Fellow Stagg EKG pouring kettle, got frustrated because it was too slow for normal kettle duties, like filling the robot basket, so I returned it for the Fellow Corvo instead.

My Fellow Stagg EKG is very nice. But the gooseneck might not pour fast enough for everyone.

Been using the Fellow Stagg EKG for 2 months now without a problem, although I need to press the button a couple times for it to turn on, might be a design flaw.

I have the Fellow Stagg EKG, and I just leave the little bit that’s left over from a brew in it and top it off the next day with no problem. However, I use custom remineralized water so scale buildup is never an issue.

Ever since I bought a Fellow Ode, Fellow Stagg EKG, a Hario V60, and a scale, I’ve pretty much had no desire to improve my coffee equipment anymore.

I have a Fellow Stagg EKG which I originally bought for pour-over coffees. It’s a bit annoying to use for tea so I would recommend getting the Corvo over the Stagg
