STAGG EKG ELECTRIC KETTLE: Simple aesthetic meets powerful design. A gooseneck kettle that pours as good as it looks. It’s made from quality 304 stainless steel with a minimalist base to save space and a 0.9-liter capacity.
PRECISION POUR: Stagg EKG's sleek pointed spout is designed for a powerful but precise stream for the optimal pour-over flow rate, and the counterbalanced handle provides a sturdy grip encouraging a slower pour.
TEMPERATURE MATTERS: Speed up your brewing process with Stagg EKG and its 1200-watt quick-heating element for boiling water. The to-the-degree temperature control makes perfecting your manual cup of coffee or steeped tea seamless and precise.
BREW LIKE A PRO: A sleek LCD screen indicates the desired Set Temp and Real-Time Temp for your drip coffee or tea. Use the built-in Brew Stopwatch to time your extraction and engage the toggle to keep your water hot for up to 60 minutes.
PREMIUM MATERIALS: Stagg EKG is built to last with a 304 stainless steel kettle body and lid, a plastic base, and food-grade silicone. The Polished Copper kettle is PVD copper coated. The optional wooden accent includes walnut.
WARRANTY: Stagg EKG comes with a 1-year limited warranty plus an additional year if you register your product at register.fellowproducts.com (US only and registration is free).
CARE FOR PRODUCT: On a regular basis, remove any mineral deposits which will develop as stains on the bottom of the kettle. This process is natural and expected for all electric water kettles. Stagg EKG is not dishwasher safe.

Title: Go directly to the source for this one
Review: The Stagg EKG Kettle: a story in three parts.1. I ordered the kettle from Amazon. It was ludicrously spendy for me, but so beautiful. Nothing else on the market comes close. And given the repeated heat waves in the Northeast this summer, I wanted a kettle that could heat my water for coffee without adding heat to the house. When it finally arrived, I unpacked it, ooohed and aahhed at the beauty, added water, plugged it in and.... nothing. No LCD, no heating, simply.. nothing. Sighing heavily, I assumed it was an anomaly and sent it back. I ordered a replacement version that same day.2. Take two: a few days later, the second Stagg kettle arrives from Amazon. Unpack, plug it in.... aaaaand nothing. Double check the plug, move it to different outlets, reset said outlets - finally, for reasons unbeknownst to me, the LCD lights up with "Fellows." But nothing further. (I've now hit the "on" button about a zillion times). So, in frustration I tweet, Facebook IM and send a message the Fellows Support folks on their website.The Fellows customer service rep got back to me within the hour, ***from his vacation*** to help me out. Said that definitely shouldn't be happening and said, "Please let me send you one directly from our warehouse." Asked for the Amazon order numbers, as he thought perhaps there is something in Amazon's handling that is affecting performance of the kettle.In the meantime, I've gotten Kettle #2 to actually heat water to the boiling point once (on the 100th try or so), so I message the CSR back and say "Maybe it's working?" Next attempt? The LCD said "no water" and refused to do anything. Back it goes. I returned to the CSR and requested a kettle direct from Fellows: I was happy to pay for a replacement kettle, but he insisted on sending it free of charge to compensate for my hassle.3. EUREKA! The third-time's-a-charm kettle arrived about 3 weeks ago. It has worked like a charm ever since the first minute. Heats like a dream, quickly, efficiently. Holds the temperature accurately to about 1 degree. Pours easily, smoothly and effortlessly. My husband (who initially scoffed at the price) is increasingly enamored of this kettle, and says frequently (sheepishly) how much he loves it. It is everything all of the 5-star reviews say and more.So, finally although I've had very good luck with Amazon over the years, my advice to you on this one is: go directly to the source. You won't regret it. And a very huge shoutout to Fellows support for A++ customer service!

Title: Good quality and attractive
Review: When it comes to doing it's job, this is a capable kettle. It has very good temperature stability and pourability, and looks great.One annoyance - I have to press a button to turn it off. There is a switch for whether the kettle uses "hold" mode, where it will keep the water at temp, but even with "hold" off, if the kettle is returned to the base while cool, it will attempt to reheat the water to the setpoint. Every time I use it, I need to manually switch it off, either when taking it off to pour water, or when putting it back on.

Title: My fav kettle
Review: I bought this to replace an older model that had given up the ghost finally (it was a pre-pandemic buy that has seen me through near daily multipleâcup tea sessions, almost always got the water the exact right temperature, never gave me any problems, and the water never tasted funny even though I did nothing to keep this baby up). They've made some improvements on this newer model, but it's the same basic idea.This is not the kettle for anyone who wants to pour in a hurry because it just won't and if you try, it'll come out the top. But if you like the pour of a gooseneck and want your leaves to get a nice slow awakening (or your grounds because this is perfect for pour over coffee), this is your kettle. It can be switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius on the temperature select, and it has a hold switch if you want it to keep things at temp for an hour. Plus, it's just a work of art. The one I had before was copper and I thought it was prettier than this matte black, but the matte black is still really pretty.

Title: 5 years and still going strong
Review: I purchased this in 2019 to start making pour overs at home and I have never been disappointed with its performance.The goods:It looks amazingHeats water up fastPour spout(contentious but itâs good for proper pour overs)Ergonomic, and feels good to use, feels premium..maybe besides the lidTemperature control is precise and the dial is satisfying to useEasy to cleanThe badThe lid, while not overtly bad could be better for how much you have to interface with it, and is prone to rust.If this thing breaks, you likely wonât hear much back from fellow about getting replacement parts. Repairability is bad here. Mine has been fine but have had to open the base to jiggle a wire once or twice when it refused to heat.Besides the lid and the fact that this likely wonât last as long as some other brands, particularly the bonavita, this is an ideal kettle. I have seen some complaints from people on a few things. Some valid some not:The top leaks. The intended use of the kettle is not for large amounts of water to be heated and transferred fast. Thereâs a mechanism in the kettle to slow the rate. If you tip the kettle to try and force it to pour faster you will make a mess. This is almost a feature of the kettle function more-so than an oversight.It doesnât hold enough water. This is true enough if you plan on making coffee for a group or for two people that like large cups of coffee. If your primary purpose for the kettle is for multiple people the bonavita or a different larger kettle is probably more worth it or maybe look for a non gooseneck kettle.Pours too slow. This gooseneck kettle has a restrictive valve and by design is meant for very slow pours. If youâre looking to get this for hot water for your tea bags id look else where. This is a pour over centered kettle.What I believe to be the best use case for this kettle is pour over coffee which requires a slow pour rate. Somewhere around 4-8g a second, quite slow, which means the coffee I make tends to take 4 minutes to make. I have used it for gongfu style tea as well as just general hot water use but youâll end up being disappointed with its flow rate for anything other than slow, controlled, bursts of coffee.

Review: The base never updates, it always says there's an update I've followed all the instructions and still refuses to update.

Review: Good, precise kettle. Keeps the temperature without being too loud. "Chime" is basically useless for most people as it's quite silent. Had an unpleasant odor (probably due to paint) for the first week or two, but that went away afterwards. The lid can also get stuck when it's hot, but that is more of a testament to it not leaking if you tilt it too much. The water flow rate might also be somewhat slow for some. No other downsides apart from that.

Review: Already had the regular EKG and wanted another, so bought the PRO. Very nice, BUT, MY GOD, why did they even bother to put a CHIME as an option. It is SO QUIET, a mouse has a louder squeak than the built in chime at max volume. Youâd need to hook it up to an amplifier to hear it. Contacted Fellow and it was, oh well thatâs the way it is. To bad, they spent all that energy putting that easter egg game on it and could have used that energy into putting a chime on it that one could hear.

Review: Yes, it looks great on the countertop, so elegant that you won't want to put it away. (I wouldn't anyway, because I don't think it would stand up to much abuse.) It features 4-cup capacity, to the degree temperature control, a built-in stopwatch, and perfect flow for pour over coffee. And you had better love coffee, because that's all you'll use it for. The cost is significantly higher than others that do the same thing, but that's the price of being a coffee snob.
Customers say
Customers like the style of the electric water boiler. They mention it has a nice presentation and the color display is nice. Customers also appreciate the ease of use and quality of the kettle. However, some customers disagree on the heat control, functionality, pourability, build quality, and value for money.
