Get the Perfect Pour-Over with a Super-Smart Electric Kettle

Attention, coffee control freaks: you’re going to want to see this. The folks at Fellow have invented a smart and elegant electric kettle to give you total power over every element of your pour-over.

The Stagg EKG is the latest iteration of the Fellow team’s award-winning kettles. Fans of the original stovetop Stagg praised its design, but pour-over coffee is a science, and they wanted more precision in their instruments.

Enter the all-electric Stagg EKG. The EKG marries the shape and efficiency of its predecessor with fine-tuned heat controls to allow aficionados to set the temperature of their medium—that is, hot water—at the optimal level for their chosen blend, roast, or tea leaves. A small LCD screen displays both the set temperature of the water and its current temperature.

Those of you who want even more control might be interested in the EKG+, a smart version of the kettle that can be operated from a mobile phone and interact with other kitchen appliances.

All three of the Stagg kettles were introduced via Kickstarter. The EKG campaign set a goal of $100,000. At the time of this writing, backers have pledged nearly three times that much.
