Pour-over coffee made with water that is five degrees too hot is noticeably worse. The Stagg EKG solves that with 1-degree variable temperature control from 60 to 100 degrees Celsius, an LCD display, and a hold function that keeps water at temperature for up to 60 minutes.
The pour spout is the other thing. It is long, curved, and gooseneck-shaped, which gives you precise control over flow rate and direction. That matters more than most people expect until they try it properly.
The base is a small 360-degree power base. The kettle itself is stainless steel with a matte finish in black, copper, or polished steel. The handle sits comfortably regardless of how full the kettle is, which sounds trivial until you have burned yourself with a kettle that pitches forward when full.
At 0.9 litres it is sized for 1-3 cups. The build quality is the kind that suggests it will still be working in ten years. Fellow backs it with a two-year warranty.
If you already own a decent grinder and good beans, this is the piece of kit that brings the rest of the process together.
