  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! Read more 1,771 people found this

• The gooseneck spout may look delicate, but it's sturdier than it seems!

  The Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle has been my trusty companion for five years now, and it's still going strong. This electric kettle is sleek, stylish, and all about simplicity. The gooseneck spout may look delicate, but don't let that fool you—it's sturdier than it seems. One of the best features is the easy-to-use temperature knob that lets you switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, and it’s impressively quiet, even when boiling water in just four minutes. Whether you're into drip coffee or tea, this kettle's smooth, controlled pour makes it a breeze to use. However, I’ve noticed a little rust starting to form around the lid, which is something to watch out for. It would also be great if the cord could be coiled under the base for easier storage, but I get that keeping the base slim probably took priority. If you're primarily using it for coffee, it's hard to beat. For other uses, like filling up a big mug or pot, you might want something with a wider spout. But for five years, this kettle has delivered consistently and still looks as good as new on my countertop. 12 people found this

• My Favorite Kettle

  I'm actually surprised at how much I like this kettle, given that I almost didn't buy it due to how expensive it is. I mean...it's an electric kettle, right? How is it any better than the $40 one you can get at Walmart? Honestly, it isn't much better, but I still like it more than the other kettles I've had in the past. The exterior is matte black, and the inside of the kettle is smooth and reflective. You press the knob, and it turns on and begins to heat up. It takes a couple of minutes to get the full kettle to 205, and it's very quiet. The pour is really precise, and I had no idea how bad my other kettles were until I poured with this one. There are two specific points that I want to touch on, because a few of the negative reviews put these in my mind: 1. The handle is actually a lot better than I expected. Some people really seem to dislike it, but I find it very comfortable for handling and pouring. I feel like a lot of people are used to a certain shape of handle and then lose their minds when it's different. The nub on the top is really useful for controlling your pour, so you're using your thumb muscles to stabilize the kettle instead of putting the whole weight of the kettle on your wrist. However, the silver ring that connects the handle to the actual kettle gets really hot, so you have to be careful where you put your fingers. I only put my fingers there once, and I've been able to easily avoid it since. 2. I expected the lid to feel like some kind of child's toy after reading some of these reviews, and I can safely say that the lid is one of my favorite parts of the kettle. It slips on and off the kettle easily, but fits securely in place when it's on. A few of my other kettles have the worst lids, some that make you spill water or burn you when you try to lift the lid. The lid on this kettle is really smooth to remove and stays pretty cool to the touch. It's not plasticky or too light like some people mentioned. The whole kettle has a really nice presentation, and looks awesome on the countertop. It feels a little more manly than having one of those ugly white plastic kettles that sound like a rocketship taking off when you boil water. I suppose that my only worry would be that the black coating on the kettle may eventually begin to wear or flake off, but I haven't seen any signs of that happening yet. There are a couple of cons that I've found, but they aren't big. - The kettle tends to spray water out of the top if you fill it even close to the fill line on the inside. The boil just gets too crazy and water ends up shooting out of the holes in the lid. - I have trouble getting my kettle past 204, no matter how long I leave it on for. I'm not necessarily upset about this, but it's a bit annoying when you can turn the setting all the way to 210 and it never gets there. Read more 412 people found this

• Pour precision and great user interface. Much better than the Bonavita

  Wow! It’s pricey but well worth it. I have the Bonavita temperature controlled version and the only thing better about the Bonavita is the price. The pour control from the kettle is exceptional and the hold temperature switch is great. Everything about this kettle just works. It’s very simple to set the temperature and you can have it hold the temperature with a simple flick of the switch on the back. This small switch on the back makes all the difference in the world. The Bonavita doesn’t have this switch. It has a button that you can press but the thing is you must press this button every time. Meaning that for the Bonavita, if you take the kettle off of the base to pour and then put it back on you must press the hold temperature button again...every time! It’s a small thing but it makes a difference and has always annoyed me. The EKG however, you just flip the switch and forget about it. No matter how many times you take the kettle off of the base. The real place where the EKG outshines the Bonavita is the pour. The Bonvita pour control and precision are a joke. The EKG has it figured out. It’s even better than a standard hario kettle (non electric). I was reluctant to splash out the cash for this but honestly I’m only disappointed that I wasted money on my Bonavita and didn’t pickany up the EKG sooner. Read more 5 people found this

  My old coffee kettle stopped heating water and I decided to upgrade to the Stagg EKG. Immediately after opening the box I was impressed by the look and feel of the kettle. But how does it work? Extremely well! My old kettle required you to press the "hold" button every time you placed the kettle back on the base to maintain heat. Not a big deal, but occasionally I would forget that step. The Stagg EKG automatically holds the temp at your desired temperature just by placing the kettle on the base, very cool! The Stagg also heats quicker and seems to maintain temp better than my old kettle. The spout is very accurate and pours a bit slower than my old kettle. The speed of the pour is neither a positive or negative, but it took no time to get used to and works great. The only gripe I have is the size. I make two 16 oz cups in one batch with a Kalita Wave 185 filter. I usually pour some hot water in a 16 oz thermos to preheat, and wet the coffee grounds before brewing. With my old kettle, I could do that and make a full batch of coffee with one kettle. The Stagg is slightly smaller, but I learned that after I pour water into the thermos and wet the grounds to just top off the kettle. By the time the grounds are ready the additional water is up to temperature, and the full kettle is the exact perfect amount for my coffee batch! I just pour until the kettle is empty and I am finished. In many ways, I would call the smaller size ideal, even though at first I looked at it as a negative. The screen and button look great and seem to be high quality, and the kettle looks great on my countertop! 2 people found this

• A very nice kettle...

  I went through two other much cheaper kettles before this one. Though this item is very expensive, it does work. In frustration from the other two problem kettles and pictures of rusted "stainless steel" with $70 to $100 kettles, I knew I could return this too if it didn't work, so, I hit the buy button. I still think it is too expensive BUT, it does work very well! The pour-over spout allows perfect control, the timer and temperature control are simple and consistant, the stainless is not rusting anywhere! I like how, sitting idle on the counter, its matte black color allows it to blend into the background. Water heats very fast...212 degrees in 2:30 minutes with low noise boiling. The shape and size is perfect for two cups at a time. The secondary pour-over timer helps to make a consistantly delicious cup of coffee. (My only minor complaint regards the metal band of the handle where it meets the kettle. It gets very hot and sometimes my thumb contacts it when I pick up the kettle.) I find the whole pour-over process a slower, more pleasant and involved way to create a cup of coffee...a peaceful way to begin the day. After years of auto-drip (always coffee wasted and mediocre taste) and a brief foray into auto, single-serve machines. (really not good taste or adequet temperatures possible) this method is a welcome change. I hope this kettle will provide years of service. I don't think, based on its price, this is too much to expect. If the developers approached manufacturing this product with the same goal, and know they have priced this kettle fairly, I will be enjoying my coffee with it for some time to come. Thank you...

  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 amazing Heats water up fast Pour spout(contentious but it’s good for proper pour overs) Ergonomic, and feels good to use, feels premium..maybe besides the lid Temperature control is precise and the dial is satisfying to use Easy to clean The bad The 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 won’t 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 won’t 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. There’s 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 doesn’t 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 you’re 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 you’ll end up being disappointed with its flow rate for anything other than slow, controlled, bursts of coffee.

  Dès la sortie de sa boite, on est frappé par les finitions de la bouilloire. C'est propre, bien conçu et design. L'eau chauffe vite, sans faire trop de bruit. Le contrôle de la température est très sympa, mais le maintient est encore mieux si vous souhaitez faire des café à la V60. Je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat ! PS : Un petit jeu vidéo type Snake est caché dans le système d'exploitation de la bouilloire. Rien de ouf, mais c'est plaisant de tomber dessus au détour de bidouillage :p (Voir des vidéos YT)
