Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle – Precise Temperature Control, Quick Heating, Brew Timer, Scheduling, Stainless Steel, Pour-Over Coffee - 0.9L, Matte Black

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!

The Fellow Stagg is user friendly right out of the box. You pay for accuracy and design which is worth it. Easy control for pour over and controlled temperature for hand pumped espresso. Quality construction and beautiful design. I don’t use the app or wifi because I don’t need it for my set up, and happy with the ease of use.

great kettle. my only regret is that it took me so long to decide to buy! I think the price point made me hesitate but so happy with this purchase. The small footprint, the settings, the pour of the well designed spout, the speed with which it gets to temp - oh, and easy on the eyes.

We've been using the fellow stag kettle every day for more than two years now. And by every day, I mean at least 2-3 times a day. Our routine is a pour-over coffee in the morning for my wife, tea for me, and then my wife likes to drink hot water throughout the day. Overall the kettle has performed well and held up to a lot of use. I see many reviewers complaining about quality issues, and that wasn't a problem for us. Here are some things I like and things I think could be improved on. Likes: Form factor - this is probably the best-looking electric how water kettle on the market. We had just finished a kitchen remodel when we got this, and I didn't want an ugly kettle sitting out on the counter. Simplicity - I don't want a water kettle that I need an app to control. It feels lazy for the manufacturers not to think through all the uses and build the functionality directly into the kettle. Quality build - For our family, this kettle has held up well even with daily use. Dislikes: The lid - There are a couple of problems with the lid design. First off, it fit tight for the first year. Really tight. And since there is no other way to check the water level, you have to remove it regularly to check and make sure you have enough water for your cup of tea or whatever you're making. Secondly, the interior bottom surface of the lid is flat and collects the hot steam from the water. Combine this with the tight fit, and when you pull it off, it flings hot water all over the place. They could mitigate this by sloping the bottom of the lid so the moisture would drip off. The hold function - I expect the hold function to keep the temperature that I set. But the hold function holds the temperature of the water in the kettle. This means that if you add water to the kettle and set it back on the base, you have to adjust the temperature up or down and then back to its original setting to heat the water to your desired temperature. The spout - The spout interior diameter should be a little bigger. I expect the spout to help control the flow of water but not restrict it. Even after two years, I still end up tipping the kettle too far and spilling water out of the lid when trying to make tea because I'm not sure if it's going slow due to it being almost empty or just the spout restriction. Wish it had: Two temperature presets - I know there is a Bluetooth version with more functionality, but I don't need another app and don't want to pull out my phone just to control the water kettle. I would love to have two simple presets I can manage. Then I can have one for lower temperature needs like tea and hot water for sipping, and one for higher temperatures for pour-over and other coffee options. That would eliminate the need to spin the temperature dial 10 times to shift from one to the other. Overall I've been pretty happy with the kettle. But, Would I recommend it to a friend? Probably not.

Ibland får man trycka av flera gånger för att få den avstängd men annars har jag ingenting att anmärka på. Den pryder sin plats i köket.Ångrar inte att jag köpte den.

I have been a huge fan of Fellow products and their excellent customer service that I will always look at their products first. This one didn't disappoint either. It is fast and above all extremely quiet! The temperature adjustment know and the "keep warm" function work great! I love it!
