I would highly recommend this kettle. It heats extremely fast. It pours exceptionally well and looks great on the counter. Built in time is a plus.

Amazing product! Only complaint is I wish it held a bit more water. Other than that, there isn’t another on the market i’d prefer!

Lovely replacement to the one we had prior. Thank you SCG team

It works great, just as advertised.

Love it , very nice aesthetically , great pour, easy to use . Would recommend .

I purchased the polished stainless steel model and it looks super sharp in the kitchen, complimenting my Baratza Virtuoso grinder. I'm giving the EKG kettle system 5 stars but there are a couple of things to add to SCG reviews: 1. My first EKG arrived and the handle connection to the kettle was loose and couldn't be resolved by tightening the handle screw. Also, the kettle kept over-shooting the set temp by 4 degrees so I had to wait for the temp to drop with the timer running to continue the pour over. Fellow Customer Service was all over it and got me a replacement in record time! Top marks for service. When the 2nd EKG arrived the handle was fine but the temp still over-shoots by 4 degrees. I decided to just compromise and set target under by 2 degrees so that I can keep pouring but not exceed 204 degrees. 2. I love the pour timer: hold down the temp set button for 1 second and you get a count-down of 3 seconds before the timer starts, allowing you to position your kettle before the timer starts. Brilliant! 3. This system has allowed me to tighten up my pour over game and achieve better cups, which is critical if you're buying high-priced SO beans and trying to get the cupping profile the roaster enticed you with.

Love it! Did not disappoint. Awesome machine. And pretty to boot.

Looks very stylish on my counter top. Well insulated, so it holds temp when off it;s base. Simple controls without added electronic distractions. Slow, steady flow rate which is great for any type of pour-over.

Sometimes, a device does exactly what it is supposed to do, elegantly and consistently. I love this kettle.

love using this for my daily coffee. heats up really quickly, and love that i can keep the temp stable while doing multiple pours. the stream that comes out is pretty consistent also. it also looks nice on the counter.that being said, i have two main pain points on this. 1) the ring of metal on the base of the handle does get hot, so you have to watch your fingers. 2) i wish that the stream stayed consistent when it's thinner; i feel that i can't pour slowly without it feeing sputtery. at this price point, i wish there weren't any complaints.

I'm a big fan of pour-over coffee. I have been using a standard tea kettle and a thermometer. It worked OK, but pouring a trickle out of a one-inch spout was a challenge. I decided to up my game with the Stag EKG. It's marvelous! The water remains at the perfect temperature and the pour spout is perfect. I'll never use anything else.

Beautiful, fast-boiling kettle. Feels great in the hand and looks bougie in the best way — minimal, well-designed and super easy to use. I do wish it had some audio feature to alert me when the water is done. Oh, and maybe an automatic shut-off even when the HOLD mode is on. But really, NBD. 10/10 enhances the brewing tea + coffee pour over experience.

It’s the Tesla of gooseneck kettles

This an elegant and simple kettle. I replaced a defective Bonavita that could not hit a target temp and hold it. For some reason the Bonavita had 6 control buttons while the Fellow Stagg manages the same function with one. It is well made and does exactly what it is supposed to. Highly recommend.

Excellent kettle and very comfortable to use. We appreciate the hold temperature feature and the style is so graceful. The pour from this pot is unsurpassed.

The kettle is easy to use, works great, and is beautiful.

Love it! Pour control is great as is the temperature hold function. I really like the simple, elegant design. Now if I could only figure out the best grind and temps to use!

While the kettle itself is a beautiful piece of engineering, the manufacturing of the base is not up to the same standard. The buttons have a very cheap feel to them, loose with lots of play, particularly in the back where there is virtually no indent, or positive engagement. The power cord is very nice and thick, but extremely short and stiff, limiting your options for placement. When you pick up the kettle you feel quality, when using the controls on the base you feel cheap, Chinese junk. The kettle itself heats extremely fast, with a beautiful, controlled pour, but a small annoyance is that every time you take the lid off to fill the kettle water drips off the lid. While some complain of the handle feeling awkward to use I find it very comfortable, with several options of hand position. I have doubts the base will last long enough to justify the exorbitant cost of this kettle, but we shall see! I’m certainly keeping my receipt, just in case...

it's gorgeous. quick. has a great pour. plus shipping was SUPER fast. i'm extremely pleased.

Life changing. 100% recommended.

I love this kettle! It is a beautiful and functional design. Its so nice to have a product that is designed to do one thing extremely well and not have a bunch of added on gimmicks or parts that fall off. It is spot on in delivering water at the temperature I want every time. This makes me smile every morning when preparing my pour over.Thanks Seattle Coffee Gear!

Works well and looks nice, as advertised, but the price is 2 or even 3 times more than other kettles that are just as good or at least close enough. It's slightly quieter than my other kettles when heating but still makes plenty of noise. One thing that bothers me is that the power cord plug is angled which forces me to use the bottom slot of a wall AC outlet. And the cord is extra short.

Comfortable to hold, great control, brew timer is super helpful, and the hold temp is a great feature. I appreciate that the switches are hidden in the back of the base and out of sight. Holds enough water for two cups of coffee which is great for just myself and my wife. Heats up reasonably quickly for that second round of brew. Plus it's a beautiful design... So that's nice. Considering the price tag it definitely aught to be all of these things, and thankfully in this case you get what you paid for!

It's easy to use and it's attractive, which is nice if you're going to leave it sitting out on your counter.

Really nice. Haven’t used it long term but it heats up quick and is very light.

It took a little while for me to 'warm up' to the kettle, but now I really appreciate the design and features. It's great to so easily adjust the temperature for coffee (212 F) or tea (190 F) on the fly. I really don't miss the audible 'it's ready' tone.The styling is compact, appropriate, and attractive.The kettle can sit on small feet without the base if needed.The materials and workmanship are solid and 'good'. Don't expect an heirloom piece.Coolest part: there's an 'easter egg' embedded in the machine with the video game wormy. I discovered it by accident (it is not in the instructions). See if you can find it!!

My son in law had this kettle on his wish list. Seattle Coffee Gear had the best cyber Monday price and I was so happy to support a small business. The kettle is classically designed and looks stunning on the stove top.

It is a gift so won’t be actually used until Christmas. I did take it out of the box and it is beautiful. Looks just like the picture.

Awesome, love it!Great kettle, great price!

I've been using this kettle for about 6 months for pour over, aeropress, and blooming my drip pre-brew. Functionality - very nice. The pour control is terrific. The combined temperate and heating controls are very intuitive. The kettle maintains precise temperature setting +/- 1 degree f (actually less when measured with an external thermometer with finer gradation - the heat pad only increments in natural numbers).Aesthetics - this is probably beauty being in the eye of the beholder. I like it and it looks even nicer in person.Value - the only knock that I have on this kettle. I haven't used any of the other goosenecks out there, so I can't compare directly. I liked the story behind this one. There are some parts of the fit and detail finish that don't quite match the price (cap construction feels flimsy, handle edges are a little rough, and the switches seem kind of cheap).
