What the Stagg EKG Is

The Fellow Stagg EKG is the electric gooseneck kettle that shows up on nearly every specialty coffee counter: variable temperature control, a hold function, and a counterbalanced handle with a precision spout built for pour-over. It pairs naturally with a Chemex or the Hario V60.

What Touches the Water

The kettle body and spout are stainless steel, so water is heated in and poured through metal. The electronics live in the base, which the water never contacts. The lid is steel as well; its small top knob and the exterior handle are not part of the water path. We could not verify the material of every interior seam fitting, and the interior surfaces you can see are steel.

The Plastic-Free Verdict: Steel Water Path

For heating water, the Stagg EKG keeps things metal where it matters, a real upgrade over plastic-windowed kettles and plastic-lidded machines that drip condensation back into your water. Combined with a plastic-free brewer, it completes a hot path with no petroleum-based plastic from tap to cup.

Who It’s For
