Quick verdict
The Stagg EKG Pro is the most fully featured kettle here. Fellow lists temperature control from 104 to 212°F, hold times of 15 to 60 minutes, a built-in brew stopwatch, scheduling, an altitude setting and 304 stainless steel, with a 2-year warranty. It suits pour-over brewers who want exact temperatures and fewer gadgets on the counter. The trade-off is a modest 0.9 L capacity.
Buy it if
- You brew pour-over daily and want exact temperatures.
- You want a timer built into the kettle base.
Skip it if
- You often heat water for four or more cups at a time.
- You only need boiling water for a French press.
- Best for
- Pour-over brewers who want exact temperatures and a brew timer on the base.
- Main compromise
- 0.9 L capacity is modest for multi-cup batches.

Strengths and limitations
What stands out
- Temperature set by the degree, with hold modes (Fellow).
- Brew stopwatch and scheduling on the base.
- Altitude setting, which Fellow says prevents boiling over.
- 2-year warranty, extendable.
Limitations
- 0.9 L capacity.
- No independent test in our ledger, so temperature accuracy is a manufacturer claim.
- Plastic handle and lid pull (BPA-free, per Fellow); wood handles are optional.
Will it fit?
- 1 Fellow Stagg EKG Pro: 282 × 172 mm (11.1 × 6.8 in), manufacturer
- 2 Hario V60 Buono Kettle (1.2 L): 274 × 144 mm (10.8 × 5.7 in), manufacturer
The trade-offs between per-degree control, presets and stovetop kettles are covered in temperature-control kettles.
Our recommendation
I'd recommend the Stagg EKG Pro to daily pour-over brewers who value exact temperatures and a built-in timer, as long as 0.9 L is enough.
