Fellow Stagg EKG Pro — The Kettle That Changed My Morning Routine
I use this kettle every single day. And every morning, that color display catches my eye before I’ve even had my first sip.
The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro isn’t just a kettle. It’s the piece of equipment that made me realize how much temperature actually matters in specialty coffee.
What Surprised Me Most? The Temperature Precision.
I expected good temperature control. What I didn’t expect was how locked in it stays.
Set it to 93°C for your V60 and it holds 93°C. Not 91, not 95. Exactly 93. Every time.
That kind of consistency changes everything when you’re trying to dial in a light Ethiopian or a washed Guatemalan. The kettle stops being a variable. Suddenly your brew becomes a lot more predictable.
That Display, Though.
Most kettles give you a basic LED readout. The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro gives you a full-color screen that’s genuinely beautiful to look at — clean, clear, and surprisingly intuitive from day one.
It sounds like a small thing. It’s not. Every morning it just feels right.
Built for Every Pour-Over Setup
The signature gooseneck spout gives you full control over flow rate and placement — whether you’re using a V60, Chemex, Kalita Wave or Origami. Slow blooms, fast pours, precise spirals — this spout handles all of it without fighting you.
Best Brewing Temperatures — A Quick Guide
One of the biggest advantages of the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro is being able to dial in the exact temperature for each coffee.
- Light roasts (Ethiopian, Kenyan): 94–96°C
- Medium roasts (Colombian, Brazilian): 90–93°C
- Dark roasts: 85–88°C
- Matcha & green tea: 70–80°C
- Black tea: 95–100°C
With a regular kettle you’re guessing. With the EKG Pro you’re brewing with intention. If you want to go deeper on brew temperatures, check out our full Coffee Brewing Guide.

FAQ
Is the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro worth the price? If you brew specialty coffee regularly and care about consistency, yes. The temperature precision alone makes a noticeable difference in cup quality.
Can I use it for tea as well? Absolutely. The wide temperature range from 40 to 100°C makes it ideal for all types of tea — green, white, oolong and black.
What’s Altitude Mode? Water boils at a lower temperature at higher elevations. Altitude Mode automatically adjusts the target temperature so your extraction stays consistent — whether you’re at sea level or in the mountains.
The Bottom Line
I’ve used a lot of kettles. The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro is the one I kept. If you’re serious about pour-over coffee and you want a kettle that’s precise, beautiful, and built to last — this is it.
