I've owned both, here's my 2¢. I live in Europe, so power related issues do differ compared to US.\n\nStagg: \n\n* Thin bottom, slow on induction\n* Thermometer is pretty useless.\n\nStagg EKG:\n\n* Quite slow compared to typical electric kettles.\n* First one lasted exactly 2 years. Luckily we have this thing called product liability, got a new one, but not that sure that it'll last any longer.\n* Easy to use, temperature control is very nice.\n* No beep, which I like a lot.\n\nBoth:\n\n* Both are bit tiny, few dl larger capacity would be preferred. \n* Unfortunately there are very few pourover kettles that look decent, Stagg IS good looking. Both look well built, the electric internals of the EKG may not be. \n* For pourover these pour very nicely. I have brewed both large and small batches and they excel in both. Unfortunately this means that the pour is slow for anything else. \n\nIn conclusion, if I were to buy a new kettle now, I would buy something else, IF I could find a kettle that would seem to be of good quality and look nice. But if the options are the same they were 2 years ago, would still buy Stagg EKG because of the looks.

range, tailored to maximize extraction of bright, acidic notes in high-grown, lightly roasted single-origin coffees — without requiring users to remember the number.","medium_roast_200_f_93_c":"Set at 200°F, the medium roast preset splits the SCA-recommended window down the middle, providing a balanced extraction optimal for most specialty-grade blends and everyday filter coffees, effectively the safest starting point for a new bag.","black_tea_herbal_212_f_100_c":"The black tea and herbal preset holds a full boil at 212°F, necessary for extracting the bold, tannic structure of oxidized black teas and the complex oils in herbal blends — a task basic kettles fail at because they shut off before sustaining the boil."}},"stagg_design_heritage":{"title":"The design story behind the Stagg kettle","entries":{"kickstarter_heritage":"The Stagg line began in 2013 with a crowdfunding campaign that not only validated the market's appetite for beautiful coffee gear but also established the core visual DNA—matte black finish, elongated gooseneck, weighted handle—that has been carried through every subsequent Stagg model including this EKG Pro.","red_dot_design_award_2017":"The Stagg EKG won the Red Dot Design Award in 2017, one of the most globally respected industrial design honors, confirming that its form, materiality, and user interface function at a level recognized by professional design juries and not just coffee aficionados.","wood_handle_material_contrast":"The wooden handle, a consistent signature across the Stagg line, introduces an organic, tactile counterpoint to the stainless steel body and high-contrast digital display, embodying Fellow's design principle of blending warm natural materials with precision technology for a tool that feels both modern and timeless.","iterative_evolution_to_ekg_pro":"The EKG Pro represents the latest evolution, layering a high-resolution full-color LCD, Wi-Fi firmware updates, and a built-in brew timer onto the Stagg's original award-winning form, demonstrating a design philosophy that continuously refines the user experience without compromising the established visual identity.","precision_pour_spout_engineering":"The gooseneck spout is designed with a calculated angle, narrow diameter, and fluted tip to deliver a slow, laminar stream optimized for pour-over extraction control—a purposeful design constraint that prioritizes flow precision over multi-purpose convenience, making it a dedicated instrument for specialty coffee.","jake_miller_s_industrial_design_vision":"Fellow founder Jake Miller, an industrial designer by training, steered the Stagg kettle away from traditional appliance aesthetics, instead taking cues from premium electronics and minimalist architecture to craft a silhouette that reads as a purposeful design object rather than a utilitarian kitchen tool."}},"wifi_firmware_updates":{"title":"Wi-Fi firmware updates and added features","entries":{"hold_mode_pid_refinement":"Early firmware allowed hold-mode temperature to drift by several degrees; a subsequent Wi-Fi update refined the PID control algorithm to maintain ±0.1°F stability, so the current 60-minute keep-warm function is precise enough for consecutive pour-overs that demand rigid temperature consistency.","guide_mode_firmware_addition":"Guide Mode, which provides one-tap temperature presets for pour-over, French press, tea, and other brew methods, was added to the Stagg EKG Pro via a 2021 firmware update, giving older units new functionality and keeping the kettle aligned with evolving specialty-coffee practices without requiring a hardware upgrade.","temperature_calibration_tool":"A firmware update enabled a sensor calibration feature within the EKG Updater app, allowing users to adjust the kettle’s temperature offset up to ±3°F to correct individual unit variance—this directly addresses the accuracy inconsistencies some owners experience and brings the unit into tighter home-brew tolerances.","built_in_brew_timer_via_firmware":"The built-in pour-over timer displayed on the base’s color screen was introduced through a firmware update and functions as a user-set countdown, integrating a dedicated extraction timer into the kettle itself and eliminating the need for an external stopwatch during manual brews."}},"built_in_timer_workflow":{"title":"Using the built-in timer for pour-over brewing","entries":{"recipe_anchored_brew_window":"Fellow’s included pour-over guide ties the stopwatch to a recommended total brew time of 2:45–3:30 minutes for a 1:16 ratio, so the timer is immediately useful as a quality target rather than just an arbitrary stopwatch — new users can brew to a known standard before developing their own timing preferences.","pro_exclusive_brew_stopwatch":"While the standard Stagg EKG carries only a basic digital timer, the Pro model introduces the Brew Stopwatch as a named, first-class function — making timer integration a key differentiator for anyone weighing the EKG against the EKG Pro.","dial_activated_brew_stopwatch":"A 2-second press of the kettle dial starts the dedicated Brew Stopwatch, consolidating heat control and timing into a single hand — no need to tap a phone or separate timer while managing the pour-over.","persistent_timer_on_lift_and_return":"Lifting the kettle off its base to pour freezes the timer display on the base, and it resumes when you set it back — a design choice that means you never lose sight of brew time during multi-pour recipes, unlike kettles that reset the timer upon removal."},"entry_quotes":{"recipe_anchored_brew_window":[{"url":"https://www.chefscomplements.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/stagg-ekg-pro-get-to-know-you-guide.pdf","quote":"Your total brew time

stainless steel and water taste neutrality","entries":{"18_8_austenitic_alloy":"304 stainless steel contains roughly 18% chromium and 8% nickel, forming a passive chromium-oxide layer that seals iron atoms inside the metal — even during sustained boiling, this passivation prevents any metallic taste from leaching into the water, so your pour-over coffee retains its intended flavor profile.","smooth_rust_free_interior":"The molybdenum-free chemistry of 304 resists pitting and crevice corrosion in tap water, so the kettle’s interior stays glassy and free of rust spots even with daily use — this preserves a non-porous surface that won’t trap scale or stale water, helping maintain a clean taste over the appliance’s lifetime.","commercial_grade_food_safety":"Widely used in restaurant kitchens and specialty-coffee equipment boilers, 304 stainless is the standard food-contact material for hot liquids — the Stagg EKG Pro’s all-steel interior means there are no plastic parts or chemical coatings touching the water at any point, eliminating the risk of off-flavors from BPA or leached compounds."}},"professional_barista_reviews":{"title":"What professional baristas and reviewers say","entries":{"weighted_handle_counterbalance":"A weighted handle offsets the mass of water in the kettle body, providing a more balanced feel during the pour — this directly improves precision because the user isn’t fighting a top-heavy vessel as the water level drops, a feature that enhances the control already offered by the spout.","overshoot_suppression_vs_bonavita":"In side-by-side tests against a Bonavita electric kettle, the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro reached the set temperature slightly slower but landed closer to the target — where the Bonavita overshot by 2–3°C before settling, the Fellow hovered within about 1°C, a consistency edge that prevents temperature swings from altering extraction during the bloom and main pours.","built_in_brew_timer_on_color_display":"The high-resolution color screen includes a dedicated brew timer that displays alongside current and target water temperatures, allowing a pour-over brewer to track bloom and drawdown without juggling a separate stopwatch — a workflow integration that turns the base into a compact brewing console.","guide_mode_with_five_beverage_presets":"Guide Mode labels five temperature presets on the color display — 180°F for green tea, 205°F for pour-over, and equivalents for other methods — removing the guesswork for newcomers while still allowing experienced users to dial in single-degree increments.","techgearlab_temperature_accuracy_benchmark":"Independent lab testing measured the Stagg EKG's temperature drift at plus or minus 0.5°F, making it the most accurate electric kettle in TechGearLab's lineup at the time of testing — a degree of thermal control that keeps delicate green teas from tipping into bitterness and ensures light-roast pour-overs stay in the extraction sweet spot.","four_minute_heat_up_synced_with_prep_routine":"The 1200W element heats a full 0.9L from room temperature to 94°C in about four minutes — by the time a home brewer weighs coffee, rinses a filter, and sets the dripper, the water is ready, a cadence that Bon Appétit’s reviewer noted gets coffee into the mug faster than a typical drip machine.","altitude_adjustment_for_high_elevation_brewing":"The Pro adds an altitude setting that adjusts boiling-point calculations, a critical feature for coffee enthusiasts brewing in mountain towns where standard kettles would boil at well below 212°F and potentially under-extract lighter roasts.","0_9l_capacity_optimized_for_single_origin_brewing":"The 0.9L (30 oz) fill serves about two large V60 brews or three modest mugs of tea — a deliberate sizing that prioritizes thermal control and fast heat-up over high-volume boiling, matching the workflow of specialty coffee drinkers who brew smaller, more frequent batches.","gooseneck_spout_design_for_pour_over_flow_control":"The elongated tip of the spout prevents dribble at slow pour rates while the thin, kinked neck adds resistance, giving the user more control over stream speed than any traditional curved gooseneck — a design that a former barista writing for Bon Appétit called “the best spout design I’ve ever brewed with.”","wi_fi_firmware_updates_for_post_purchase_feature_expansion":"The kettle connects to Wi-Fi via the EKG Updater app to receive firmware updates, meaning existing features can be refined and new ones added over time — a future-proofing measure that professional testers note extends the hardware’s relevance beyond that of a static appliance."},"entry_quotes":{"weighted_handle_counterbalance":[{"url":"https://www.bonappetit.com/story/fellow-stagg-ekg-pro-review","quote":"It also has a weighted handle to offset the water in the
