Beautiful, heavy but a small flaw in handle should be corrected
on June 8, 2022
Posted by: Mark H.

The Stagg is a beauty so the "form and function" attribute is awesome. It has some features that I find useful, like the countdown timer and temperature hold but there are some design issues that should be addressed.
1. There is a metal wrap between the handle and the kettle that conducts heat and you can hurt yourself if you touch it. I had to wrap mine in photographer's tape to continue to use it and it worked great.
2. The Max indicator on the inside is by the handle, not the spout. So when you go to fill it with water, you can't see it...not a major flaw but a thoughtless one.
3. My hot plate was so temperamental I had to send it back for a new one that was only slightly less temperamental. Sometimes a double-tap is required, sometimes unplug and plug it back in. Customer service was responsive, a plus.

Mainly got for gongfu cha
on June 1, 2022

Got the matte black with walnut handle and altho pricey, I thought I’d want to upgrade my tea experience as it’s important to me. It’s fun to see what at temps I’m steeping the leaves and to gradually increase. I mainly practice gongfu cha with the kettle, as I find the slower pour to be more exact. For other herbal remedies or when I need lots of hot water then I’ll use my other kettle with a larger spout. Recommend the purchase if you have the budget.

Great kettle. Would be perfect if it was a little bigger (1liter) and had a chime to tell you when it reached your set temperature

Fantastic design, works beautifully and consistently.
Only thing that could make it better is sound, such as a beep, to indicate that the water has reached the set temperature.

If you love design, just buy it already

All the reviews are true. If you’ve spent time watching videos and reading articles about this kettle, I’m here to confirm it is an amazing, but imperfect product. Yes, the flow rate is made for pour over (ie, slow). Yes, the connection point for the handle to the kettle gets hot. Yes, the button can be finicky. Yes, it heats up fast, but slows waaay down once it’s close to your set temp. But if you’re obsessed with the beauty of this kettle, if using well designed products brightens your day, if you’re moving from a basic kettle to a temp controlled unit, then this is the kettle for you. All the little annoyances will fade into the background once you lift it and start making coffee. This kettle (along with upgrading the burrs in my Encore grinder) has reignited my love of coffee making.

Honest Review
on April 3, 2022
Posted by: Steven A.

So, I looked for a while at various different kettles trying to make a well rounded decision. Over and over again, the Stagg EKG was the top of every review and for good reason. It does a great job at heating my filtered water, from my fridge (56 degrees) within 5 minutes. I'm sure if I used room temp water it would be faster. It holds the set temp for a sufficient amount of time and most importantly to me it looks good doing it all. Honestly, it's a bit pricey for what you're getting, but I felt like it was worth it, and the design fits great for our family in our kitchen remodel, and is a great upgrade from boiling water on the stove.

I love my Fellows water

I love my Fellows water heater but it doesn’t always turn right on. I have to keep pushing the right side on/off button 6-10 times and so far it does turn on.

Elegant and understated design, but...
on March 19, 2022
Posted by: Arlene M.

I love the design and heft of the kettle. The matte black appearance is elegant, the walnut handle grip is really nice and comfortable, and there have been no issues with leaks. The only thing that is keeping me from giving Stagg 5 stars is the inability to program or set preferred temps (for coffee and tea) and have it automatically default to that last preferred temp when I plug it in. It's the one feature I miss about my previous gooseneck kettle by another brand.
