Water temperature decides more about a pour over than most people expect. Ten degrees too hot and a light roast turns harsh, ten degrees too cool and it never opens up. The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro is a temperature control kettle built so that stops being a variable you are guessing at.
You set a target anywhere from 57 to 100 degrees Celsius and the kettle holds it. The 1200W element gets there quickly, and the 60 minute hold function keeps it there while you grind, rinse the filter and get set up. No re boiling, no racing the clock, no starting your pour at a temperature you did not choose.
The gooseneck spout is the other half of it. A narrow spout with a long neck gives you a slow, steady stream you can actually aim, which is what lets you saturate the bed evenly instead of drilling a hole through the middle of it. Pair the Stagg EKG Pro with a dripper and a scale and you have every brewing variable under control.
The built in brew stopwatch tracks your brew from the moment you start, so bloom timings and total contact time stop being something you count in your head. The LCD shows target and actual temperature together, so you always know where the kettle is rather than where you told it to be.
Body is 304 stainless steel with a maple handle, 900ml capacity, in black, white and smoke green. Total weight is 1,400g including the base. As electric gooseneck kettles go, it looks like something you leave out on the counter rather than something you put away.
Suits anyone brewing pour over or loose leaf tea seriously enough to care that 92 degrees and 96 degrees are different drinks. If you brew on autopilot every morning without adjusting, a simpler variable temperature kettle will do the job for less.
