What to know about Fellow Stagg EKG Pro (1222PRO-MB-US)

The premium pour-over gooseneck: a 304 18/8 stainless body, 104–212°F control, an adjustable hold of up to 60 minutes, scheduling and Wi-Fi updates. Food Network, Reviewed and Tom's Guide all pick a Stagg EKG as their gooseneck choice. Plastic is limited to the base, handle and lid pull, though Mamavation flags a polymer piece on the inner lid that is exposed to steam.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Fellow states the body is 304 18/8 stainless steel, and the handle and lid pull are BPA-free plastic or optional wood, away from the water. It is also the only pick here that several independent testers choose: Food Network, Reviewed and Tom's Guide all name a Stagg EKG as their gooseneck favorite. Those reviews judge pouring and performance, not water-path materials.

Temperature control is the best in this guide, and the hold function and scheduling are useful for daily brewing. Fellow sells replacement lids and parts and adds a third warranty year with registration, which matters for a kettle at this price.

What to know

Skip it if you want a large kettle, an audible ready alert or a low price. Mamavation's brand-disclosure survey also notes a polymer piece on the inner lid that is exposed to steam.
