The benchmark pour-over kettle: to-the-degree control, a precision spout and a color screen with schedule and hold modes, at a premium.
Fellow's current Stagg EKG electric gooseneck kettle (sold in Pro and Pro Studio Edition versions) holds 0.9 L and heats to any temperature from 104°F to 212°F. A full-color screen adds scheduling, guide-mode presets, a brew stopwatch, altitude and pre-boil settings and a 15–60 minute hold, and Wi-Fi is used only for firmware updates. Owners and reviewers praise its precision and design; the main drawback is price next to budget gooseneck kettles.
Best for
- Pour-over brewers who want exact temperatures
- Coffee and tea drinkers who like scheduled hot water
- Design-focused coffee bars
What we like
- Precise to-the-degree temperature control (104–212°F)
- Precision gooseneck spout for slow, controlled pours
- Schedule, hold, stopwatch, altitude and pre-boil features
- Premium 304 stainless build with a 2-year warranty
Watch-outs
- Expensive next to budget gooseneck kettles
- Wi-Fi only enables firmware updates, not remote control
- 0.9 L capacity is modest for large batches

Long the reference kettle for pour-over; creators from Kyle Rowsell to Daddy Got Coffee review the Pro and Pro Studio, mostly debating whether the premium is worth it.

What people are saying
From the forums.
Verbatim from Reddit, forums and long-term owner write-ups — linked so you can read the full thread.
“Overall I really mainly have been enjoying the look of the improved and stealthy display on glass top EKG Pro Studio. Also the chime when it hits the target temperature is a nice addition!”
“I was a little disappointed the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth connectivity doesn't really do much besides enable firmware updates.”

FAQ
Good questions.
What's the difference between the Stagg EKG Pro and Pro Studio Edition?
Both are listed on Fellow's Stagg EKG page with the same 0.9 L capacity and features; the Studio Edition uses glass and metal touch points and costs more ($199.95–$229.95 vs $179.95 for the Pro in matte black or white).
Can I control the Stagg EKG Pro from my phone?
No. Fellow says the EKG Updater app is for Wi-Fi firmware updates and does not support remote control of the kettle or its settings.
How long can it keep water hot?
Hold mode keeps water at temperature for 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, your choice.
