Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle

The Fellow Stagg EKG electric kettle has a thin gooseneck spout giving precise control over pour speed. That matters for pour-over coffee because dumping water on grounds too fast produces weak, under-extracted coffee. The design looks like a mid-century desk lamp: matte black with a walnut handle and a small LCD screen on the base showing current temperature. It holds 0.9 liters. My friend has one on her kitchen counter. It's the kind of object that makes you want to learn to make better coffee. The form encourages the ritual. Temperature hold keeps water at exactly 205 degrees until I'm ready to pour. Precision means consistent results every morning. At $165 it's an expensive kettle, but the build quality and daily pleasure of using it make the cost feel proportional to the role it plays.
