Our review
Fellow's Stagg EKG Pro pairs a precision gooseneck spout for a slow, controlled pour with to-the-degree temperature control, a full-color LCD, hold mode, a brew stopwatch, and a Guide Mode with preset temperatures for coffee styles and tea. You can also schedule a boil, and it heats 0.9 liters on a 1200-watt element. The kettle is aimed squarely at people who brew pour-over by hand.
Owners praise the build quality, how fast it heats, the accuracy of the temperature control, and its looks. Fellow describes the ergonomic handle and gooseneck as built for slow, steady pours, and the 0.9-liter size suits brewing one or two cups at a time.
The price and the reliability reports are the catch. It is a premium purchase, one reviewer was disappointed that Wi-Fi does not come with app control, and the 0.9-liter tank is small for a household. Durability is flagged: some buyers say the kettle broke within a year, the lid seal wore out in under a year of heavy use, or the unit stopped working after a month. It is a newer model, so the long-term record is thinner than the others here.
