Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome for tea or lattes. Looks and peforms great.

Love it. Easy to use. Great product. Easy to clean.

Returning because our maple handle was a lot lighten than in the photo! It also had zero graining, which I know is random, but just didn't look as nice as the photo for the price point. Might try to re-purchase if we can see it in person first.

Overall, the build quality is good. The lid does not secure as expected, thus when pouring more heavily or to get out the last bits of water the lid tends to leak water. Also, this kettle needs to be able to hold a bit more water to be practical.

Beautiful kettle. Adds style and functionality to the kitchen and the size is great. Price is a bit much but I would buy it again.

Received my Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Pour Over Kettle a week or so ago and and have been using it for the last few days and we're very impressed with its performance. First off the design and quality of this kettle is simply amazing. It's very sleek and matches everything in our kitchen and on our countertop. The soft matte finish looks very nice, however, it could possibly be easily scratched so be careful with what you use when cleaning it. This kettle is very easy to use. Simply plug in the base to an outlet and set the switches on the back to Fahrenheit or Celsius, and the hold button. Then fill the kettle to the max line which is just below the handle on the inside. Place the lid and set it on the base. Next push down on the button and turn the temp dial to your liking which the highest temp is 212 degrees on the easy to read digital display. Then simply wait for about 4 minutes. We were amazed at how quickly the water heated up and was ready for our morning coffee (if you're using instant coffee or fresh grounded coffee) and our tea. I prefer tea sometimes instead of coffee in the morning and this works so much better for me. This kettle heated up much faster than I expected, which means it was way faster than a standard stove kettle. It's very easy to use and the design as I stated earlier to just nice. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice kettle in this price range or it could be purchased as a gift for someone.

looks and performs perfect. it heats up the water quickly and holds the temp.

This review is going to be quick because well let’s be honest it’s a pot that boils water so there is not that many things that can be said. However, the things that are worth mentioning make this kettle worth the purchase in my mind. First off let’s start with the design. It’s simple clean and easy to store on a counter without it being an attention-grabbing centerpiece. Perfect for those of us who just want the perfect temperature water for our coffee. The thing is super easy to use plug it in make sure there is water in the pot and then click the dial to turn it on. Rotate the dial to choose a temperature and let it do its thing. It’s super easy and it lets you pick the temperature down to the degree which some other pots won’t let you do. This is key for good pour over as you don’t necessarily want boiling water every time depending on the coffee and the brew process. Otherwise it has a nice hold feature to keep water hot, this is nice if your making more than one pot or cup of coffee and need the water to stay the same temp between processes. So, the quick and easy is, it looks good, it works great, and the gooseneck lets you pour water precisely and easily exactly where you need it.

Works great looks good handle is secure and it heats up quite nicely.

I wasn’t too sure of this kettle, after using a much larger different brand for years. The two things that concerned me most were water capacity and the lack of an indicator when it has come to temperature. I use this for making aero press coffee, and funny enough neither concern is an issue. It can hold almost 1 liter of water, and is so fast that I don’t miss a beep when it comes to temperature. This fits into my routine really well. I can start the kettle, grind coffee and prepare the aero press. By the time I’m ready for the water, it is usually done. Setting the temp with the dial is simple and I like that is is very obvious if the kettle is heating or not. The hold feature is also nice. I haven’t used the brew timers, but I’m sure some people will really like that. The best thing about this kettle is the design. I love leaving it out on the counter, sort of ridiculous to say but it does seem like a functional piece of art. The one thing I found annoying is that the font and size of the text in the instructions are almost unreadable, but it easy to figure out and the directions are online.

During the week we use an automatic coffee maker. We are usually in a hurry and like the speed and simplicity of the push button super-automatic machine. On the weekends we get out the pour over and or French Press paraphernalia and enjoy a more gourmet experience. My first thought when getting this is that it is smaller and lighter than the large copper kettle we keep on the cooktop. With the smaller size and lighter weight it is much easier to have the recommended slow pour with the pour over makers. With the long thin spout we can more precisely direct the water where it needs to go to encourage the "bloom". We both find ourselves much more willing to pour slowly than we did with our heavy kettle. Neither of us had ever considered using a precise temperature for different beverages and brewing methods before. We either used the temp the brewer was set on or just poured the kettle after it boiled. This kettle allows us to set a precise temperature and shows us the temperature as it warms. We have used the recommended temps that came with the kettle instructions for different beverages and found that the not yet boiling water makes a better cup of coffee and the lower temps make quite a difference with some of our teas. There is also a hold switch on the unit that will keep the water at the designated temperature if you desire. When I got this kettle I thought it would be a cool gadget for our weekend pour over and French press coffee. I have been surprised that we both use it daily.

It did not work. After plugging it into the wall electrical socket..and touching the button to turn it on, nothing. I returned it.

The Fellow Stagg electric kettle is beautiful and well thought out for usability. I've found it great for getting a precise temperature down to the degree for coffee and tea, as well as easy to maintain a consistent pour down to the last drop. Probably my favorite feature is the built-in timer when you are ready to pour. By having the"stopwatch" built right into the kettle it's easy to see how long your coffee has been brewing. Combined with a french press or pour over set, this thing makes for some excellent, smooth coffee. For some reason my original review for the Fellow Stagg bugged and never posted, and I'm happy to report after 8 months it is still working perfectly and earning it's permanent place at the coffee bar section of my kitchen counter.

I was impressed the moment I first saw the Fellow-Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle. It is elegantly beautiful, yet so sophisticated in its simplicity. It was a must have for me, and I am so pleased I decided to get it. I chose the matte-black version because the rest of my appliances are black and stainless. This kettle adds that extra little pizazz to my kitchen. Out of the box it is ready to use after a quick cleaning. I have to say that the kettle feels so substantial in your hands. This is no cheaply made piece of tin disguised to look classy...it's the real deal. I chose my favorite tea and decided to try the kettle out. First, it is truly just a matter of turning it on and setting the temperature. I certainly don't presume to lecture anyone on the effects of proper temperature in a brew, but I learned long ago that we typically heat our coffee and tea at too high of a temperature, resulting in a bitter tasting brew. I was definitely surprised when I first tasted the difference after brewing at a much lower temperature. After filling the kettle with water, I pushed a button and waited. It began heating immediately. Within a very short time, the water had heated to 177 degrees, the temperature I chose. I had a kitchen thermometer handy and tested to see how close it was. A perfect 177 degrees. The kettle will remain at the same temperature until the kettle turns itself off, after one hour. For coffee brewing, there is a timer that allows you to measure your pour to obtain the perfect brew. I then poured the water from the kettle to brew my tea. There are a couple of very important things to note here...first, it's a slow pouring kettle. I understand this is necessary to ensure the perfectionists can pour the water perfectly. But nonetheless, it is slow pour. This leads to the second thing to note...because those of us (who simply want a perfectly heated cup of water) aren't too concerned about pouring according to connoisseur guidelines, the tendency is to tip the kettle in order to speed up the pour. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE HOLES IN THE LID ARE FACING THE BACK OF THE KETTLE! Otherwise hot water will pour from the holes in the lid and possibly scald you. I made this mistake, but fortunately did not get scalded. Just for the sake of saying I timed the brew, I did follow the 2 1/2 minute timer, and then took out the tea leaves. It was an amazing cup of Earl Gray tea. When it is all said and done, the question must be asked if the Fellow- Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle warrants what many would consider to be a lot for a hot water kettle. For me, the answer is an astounding YES. There is no guessing about the temperature, there is no question about how long to brew, and there is no reheating water on the stove if you want another cup of coffee or tea, seeing as the kettle will maintain your set temperature for an hour. By the way, the kettle shut off after 58 minutes. Not bad. So, to sum this review up, I would absolutely and highly recommend that you purchase the Fellow - Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle if you want to begin truly having a coffee or tea drinking experience as opposed to simply having a cup of coffee or tea. It is worth every penny you spend!

I love this kettle. It looks so beautiful on my counter, is easy to clean, and works so well. I love the gooseneck, it creates such a smooth pour. The ability to hold the temperature, and set it to the degree, are things I thought I wouldn’t use but I can’t go back now - it makes my coffee and tea so much better. It doesn’t hold as much water as some other kettles out there but it heats up so quickly and I’ve never found that to be an issue or something I’m missing.

I paid premium for the walnut handle but received the one with the regular handle. The box shows that it has the walnut handle so it’s not bb’s fault. I waited almost two weeks to receive this item and now I have to wait even longer for a replacement. Do a better job.

I've seen kettles shaped kind of like this, but I've never used one before. Now I get it. The long slender spout makes it easy to control the water flow, so you get the best out of your pour-over coffee. You deliver hot water to the grounds without puddling, flooding, or splashing, then the bloom forms, and my coffee turned out strong but not bitter. I'm totally impressed with how that simple change can affect the quality of the coffee. What's really cool is you can set the target water temperature so it's exactly where you want it when you pour. I like heating my water to 205; that gives me a hot cup of coffee when it's done brewing. There's also a timer so you can measure just how much time you want to pour your coffee or to let it sit.

The Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle is an absolute dream. For years now, I have been heating water on a stovetop kettle and this is a game changer. My favorite brewing technique is French Press, calling for water temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit. To achieve near this degree, I would let the kettle boil and then wait 5 minutes prior to brewing figuring the water had cooled off some by that point – primitive and not ideal. With the Stagg EKG, I can dial in 195 and there we go, water heated to my desired temperature and ready to brew! With my recently roasted, freshly ground coffee beans and proper temperature water, my french press brews have been delectable with no undesired acidity. Having an electric kettle, not only allows for temperature choice but also ease of heating. With being on an electric plate water preparation can occur anywhere at any time as long as electricity is available! The kettle itself has a beautiful matte finish, presenting well in a kitchen or on a cabinet, desk, or more. There is a raised area on the plate that allows for the kettle to fit over, providing stability (and the warming unit). A simple design, that is crisp and efficient. To use the kettle, you are not boggled down by multiple buttons wondering what each one does; rather, there is one display and one dial from which controls are accessed. And then a toggle for holding capability and Celsius or Fahrenheit. Simple and elegant once again. The other aspect of the kettle is that it is designed for Pour-Over brewing. This aspect is achieved with another elegant feature, the fluted spout tip. For the kettle, the long slender tip is an aesthetic with wonderful use. First off, if pouring into a cup or other container the smaller opening allows for precision. Where does this precision come into play also? Pour-over brewing. I have had the opportunity to dabble in pour-over brewing, and with a previous kettle would just dump on water even with attempts at control. The Stagg EKG allows for gentle balance of the pour. There is also a built in brew stopwatch to assist in needs. The included paperwork also has the Fellow method for pour over outlined! A great assist for one new to coffee brewing. This kettles use is not limited to coffee either! I am also a tea connoisseur, with over 100 types of loose leaf tea. I had been eyeing an electric tea kettle to more precisely brew but was debating what level of investment to make – once again, the Stagg EKG is the perfect decision. With tea type brewing being temperature dependent, I am no longer just hitting my tea leaves with hot water and hoping for the best. Now, I can brew using precise temperature water and time resulting in the envisioned brew of the tea maker. A quick side-note is that the instructions mention to not submerge the kettle into water for cleaning. I assume this is important to not mess up the electric aspects of the device. I just wanted to take a moment to harp on this instruction, as I had a self-heating mug that I damaged the control unit during cleaning. So be careful, and follow the specific care instructions to avoid and mishaps. With fancy electronics, come proper use instructions! For both coffee and tea, the Stagg EKG facilitates obtaining the proper temperature water to reach the desired brew. May this be more or less acidic, strength, or flavor. Water temperature plays a crucial role in beverage preparation and this kettle does the trick! Plus, no need for microwave or stove but rather water and an electric plug!

This is an ultra-modern looking kettle and I was excited to unpack it and put it through the paces. My household has a few coffee connoisseurs and tea drinkers within, so this product is a welcomed edition to our kitchen, After an initial cleaning with a little soap and water we were off to the races. The unit itself is driven by 1200 watts of power and brings water to a boil in a snap. It does not have an overly large capacity, but with the speed of heating water it should not be a factor for the need of additional cups of hot water. It has a digital display of the water temperature and also has a 60 minute "hold" function. This is especially nice for those times that you wish to top off your tea or brew another coffee and not have to wait for the water to re-boil. The unit has an ergonomic handle which feels great in your hand. I found that my thumb had a tendency to wander close to and touch the polished chrome ring of the kettle itself which is hot. I do have large hands so a word to the wise, do ensure you grasp the handle carefully. It is for this safety reason, that my rating was downgraded to a 4 star. When you actually pour the hot water after the brew cycle is complete, it is a slow process since the neck of spout is rather thin in diameter. It will take you some extra time to complete your pour. In closing, this is a beautiful kettle. It comes with some nice features, is comfortable to hold and looks great in my kitchen. So far I'm pretty happy with this kettle.

This is not your average kettle. If you’re used to just heating you water with a normal kettle this will blow you away and will really make a difference in your coffee or tea drinking experience. What makes it great: this kettle works like other kettles by rapidly heating up water for a nice pour over coffee or tea, but the dial lets you select an exact temperature to heat the water, down to the degree. This makes a huge difference since the temperature of the water vastly affects the flavor and taste of different teas and coffees. All you do is turn the dial to the Temp you want the water and press down on the dial. The kettle will heat the water lightning fast and rather than turning off, will hold that temp for an hour, letting you come back and make multiple cups. The kettle pours incredibly well. It lets out a steady even stream that is easy to control and never gets too strong. I even tried to pour out the water fast, but this kettle has been designed to prevent and sudden splashes and give you the optimal pour. The build and look are second to none. It looks amazing, very sleek and well finished. The met black looks clean and doesn’t pick up finger prints at all. The kettle and lid fit together perfectly creating a very good seal that feels high quality. Other than the dial and temperature screen on the base of the kettle, there are two switches that let you switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit and another to turn the heater hold on and off. Everything feels perfectly build with purpose and works great every time. I’ve never seen a kettle quite like this and am immediately sold. If you are the kind of person who wants the best cup of coffee or tea, this is for you.
