It features a 304 stainless steel body with a BPA-free handle, variable temperature control, a built-in timer, and a keep-warm function for up to 60 minutes. With a 0.89 L (30 oz) capacity and Wi-Fi firmware updates, it offers precise flow control and is a popular choice among coffee enthusiasts, though its slow pour rate is better suited to pour-over than large-volume brewing.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/kitchen-dining/kitchenware/small-appliances/stagg-ekg-pro-electric-kettle--20873-26120561?colourId=10","brand":"Fellow","condition":"new","product_category":"kitchen dining > kitchenware > small appliances","material":"Stainless steel, plastic","dimensions":"11x6.75x7.75 in","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/20873/26120561/10/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/20873/26120561/10/A2_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702606286-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/20873/26120561/10/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Stagg EKG Pro electric kettle product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot on a seamless white background, centered composition with soft shadow beneath the base;

temperature control and extraction consistency","entries":{"6_2_second_lift_recovery":"Lifting the kettle to pour causes a 1.8°C thermal loss over 10 seconds, but the PID corrects back to within 0.5°C of target in just 6.2 seconds — faster than the 14–28 seconds common in other precision kettles, meaning the water is ready for the next pour before the coffee bed has had time to drain, preserving the thermal momentum across a multi-pour V60 recipe.","single_degree_roast_tuning":"The PID's single-degree adjustability turns the kettle into a controllable extraction variable: dial up to 93–96°C for light roasts to unlock florals and sweetness without burning off volatiles, or pull back to 88–91°C for darker roasts to subdue smokiness and avoid pulling bitter phenolics — a workflow that mimics how competition baristas alter slurry temperature to shape cup character.","1_3_c_overshoot_4_second_duration":"At a 93°C setpoint, the Pro overshoots by just 1.3°C and stabilizes within 4 seconds — a margin small enough that even a light-roast Ethiopian won't scald on the bloom, whereas kettles that spike 3°C or more briefly expose the grounds to near-boiling water and extract harsh quinic acids before the loop corrects.","near_critical_damping_no_thermal_hunting":"The Pro's PID is tuned for near-critical damping, which means it does not oscillate above and below the setpoint; an estimated 70% of tested electric kettles exhibit thermal hunting, continually swinging ±3°C or more — a behavior that turns each pour into a moving extraction target, whereas the Stagg holds steady once at temperature.","5_2_g_s_flow_stability_via_thermal_control":"Because the PID eliminates temperature pulsations that disrupt flow, the Stagg EKG Pro pours at a steady 5.2 g/s with only 6% variance, giving you a laminar stream that saturates the coffee bed evenly — preventing the channeling that occurs when flow stutters and subjects different parts of the bed to different extraction ratios in the same drawdown."},"entry_quotes":{"6_2_second_lift_recovery":[{"url":"https://www.precisekettlepicks.blog/blog/buying-guides-by-use-case-budget/verified-coffee-kettle-temperature-accuracy-lab/","quote":"Lifting
