Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle - Pour-Over Coffee and Tea Pot, Stainless Steel, Quick Heating, Matte Black, 0.9 Liter

Product Information

Dimensions: 7.2 x 9.1 x 9.8 inches | Weight: 3.4 pounds | Capacity: 1.7 liters | Temperature control: Yes; 5 presets Electric kettles are available in a range of sizes, typically between 0.9 and 1.8 liters—that’s roughly 4 and 8 cups. Smaller kettles, such as the Fellow Corvo EKG, take up less space in your kitchen, but they can generally boil enough water for only 2 or 3 cups at a time. Once the hold function is engaged, the temperature of the brew water will be maintained for up to 60 minutes. Built-in Timer Water temp is set using the combo button/dial on the bottom of the unit. The LCD screen will display the target temperature and the current temperature of the brew water.

One of the really great things about these kettles is their temperature hold function. This function is activated via the switch on the base. Limescale or mineral deposits are a direct result of heating up water and thus inevitable in all kettles. How long it takes for mineral deposits to show up will depend on the mineral concentration in your water source. Symptoms of scale build-up can include lagging temperature readout response, over-boiling, inaccurate temperatures, and poor heating efficiency; if you notice any of these issues with your kettle, scale build-up is the likely culprit. The design and ergonomics of an electric kettle can make a big difference in its performance. The best kettles are well balanced and easy to pour, even when they’re filled to capacity, and they generally have silicone or another heat-resistant material on the handle to keep your hands safe.

Either way, you’re getting an excellent electric kettle that I have been evangelizing about to everyone who will listen for weeks.

During that period, you have time to prepare your pour over filter and dripper and grind some beans. By the time you have done those things, the water will be ready to pour, and at the precise temperature you desire. Some preset temperatures may only show the name of the tea or coffee the setting is meant for instead of the temperature it’s heating up to — Pettigrew noted those may not always be accurate and give less control to the user. However, the preset temperatures can be good for beginners — “I suspect that might help people who aren't used to doing different temperatures for different teas,” Pettigrew said. In addition to being one of the most precise models I tested, the IQ Kettle was also one of the speediest. When filled to its maximum capacity, the kettle brought water to a boil in under 8 minutes; to boil 3 cups of water, it took just 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Once the water has achieved the set temperature, a gentle beeping lets you know when your water is ready, which is much more pleasant than the shrill whistle of a stovetop kettle. The curved handle has a hard plastic covering that makes it easy and comfortable to grip, and the same material runs down the kettle body, protecting your hand from all sides. This kettle was also one of the most comfortable to pour—it’s surprisingly ergonomic to hold, even when full, and the water comes out in a steady stream without any spitting or splashing. Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge and allow it to dry. Do not use abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scouring pads on any part of the kettle as it may damage the finish. After your water is heated, Stagg EKG’s built-in Brew Stopwatch can time your brew for the perfect cup of coffee. FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUSIf you like to keep things simple, the Cosori Electric Glass Kettle is a no-frills model that’s designed to do one thing: boil water. Made from durable borosilicate glass that lets you watch the water heat up, this inexpensive 1.7-liter model doesn’t have a control dial or any temperature presets. To start the kettle, all you have to do is press a lever located at the base of the handle, at which point a blue light turns on inside the kettle to let you know it’s on. Several minutes later, you have boiling water—and that’s really all there is to it.

The tip of the spout is shaped in such a way that it allows you to pour incredibly slowly, without any drips or spillage. As for kettles with low, medium and high options, Pettigrew said she’s not a fan. “You really have no idea what those temperatures are,” she said. Some kettles may also have a Keep Warm function that can keep the water hot after it boils — this can be an effective feature, but keep in mind some of the contents of the water could evaporate, according to Pettigrew.

The thin, perfectly curved spout gives you complete control over the speed and placement of your water pour, enabling you to saturate the grounds evenly and achieve a more balanced extraction when making pour-over coffee. Easily choose your desired water temperature from 57 to 100 degrees Celsius with simple and easy to use knob.

If you want a kettle that can pour with precision, you’d be hard-pressed to find something better than the Fellow Stagg. More often than not, you can make pour over coffee in two to three minutes. Once you’ve brewed the coffee, the temperature will have fallen by a few degrees by the time you pour, affecting the brewing consistency. Choosing a kettle with a large handle that gives you enough room to grip comfortably can also be a key safety feature, according to Lamberty. “Make sure that it has a tight-fitting lid [that] doesn’t allow water to leak out,” he added. Noise level Even if you’re not concerned about attaining the exact water temperature, the feature will help make a better coffee because boiling water burns the coffee. In contrast, tepid water will lead to under-extraction. With the Fellow Stagg EKG, you can forget all about these issues and let it take care of them. Rapid Heating Time
