Fellow - Brew Ridiculously Good Coffee

The Fellow Stagg EKG is really designed exclusively for the pour over and soft brew enthusiast. It is a kettle that seeks to find the balance between minimum complexity and maximum functionality. Before the first use, the manual advises rinsing the kettle’s interior briefly and then boiling a small amount of water to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. It just needs to boil for about a minute, and then the water can be discarded. After that, the kettle is ready to be used as normal. This setup process was fast, especially since it only took about two minutes for the water to boil. The Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle is worth the investment if you’re an avid pour-over coffee fan. The precise pour spout, exact temperature selection capabilities, and unequaled design make it worth it for specialty coffee lovers.
