Product Information

Alternatively, if you don't care for those smart features, you can save yourself some cash by going with the non-connected version instead. Either way, you’re getting an excellent electric kettle that I have been evangelizing about to everyone who will listen for weeks.

During that period, you have time to prepare your pour over filter and dripper and grind some beans. By the time you have done those things, the water will be ready to pour, and at the precise temperature you desire. The design and ergonomics of an electric kettle can make a big difference in its performance. The best kettles are well balanced and easy to pour, even when they’re filled to capacity, and they generally have silicone or another heat-resistant material on the handle to keep your hands safe. Aside from that, the Lardera Smart Electric Kettle offers its weight (light as that is) in style, performance, and quality of materials. It's also one of the smoothest-pouring kettles I've used. Stagg EKG’s PID controller steadily maintains the perfect temperature as efficiently as possible. BREW STOPWATCH The Lardera Smart Electric Kettle is a high-end option that fits any coffee lover's setup. And I mean "fit" literally because the kettle is compact and saves valuable counterspace. It measures 10 inches from spout to handle, and the base is about 6 inches on each side.Regardless of the number of things a kettle can do, its main function is to heat water. We poured 500ml of water into the Fellow Stagg EKG and set the temperature to 203°F (95°C). The kettle heated the water to that temperature (from an initial temperature of 80°F (27°C) ) in two minutes, 20 seconds. Electric kettles are particularly great if you want to save time and get your coffee brewing faster. Plus, they come in a variety of features and designs. Here’s a few things that separate our high-grade electric kettles from the rest: Safety — Most electric kettles automatically shut off when the water boils, making them safer than stovetop options. But, for added peace of mind, some also have boil dry protection, which means they’ll shut off if there’s no water remaining. And if you want a kettle that doesn’t get too hot on the outside, look for one with a double wall or plastic construction. The thermometer is fastened to the lid and has a shaded area over the optimal brewing temperature of 195 to 205 degrees. Customers add that the spout has a consistent flow rate and is easy to maneuver. There's also a great deal of praise for the handle, which is sturdy, ergonomic, and always stays cool to the touch. When it comes to the perfect pour-over experience, Fellow has you covered. Whether you're an aspiring barista or a coffee aficionado, here are a few things to consider.

Featuring precision pour spout, variable temperature control, LCD screen, 60-minute hold mode, a brew stopwatch, and a small, minimalist base TO THE DEGREE TEMPERATURE CONTROLIf you use vinegar, heat a solution of half vinegar and half water in your kettle. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it sit for at least a half-hour before dumping it out and rinsing the kettle thoroughly.

If you frequently host guests, it’s worth getting a larger kettle to make multiple servings at once. “I try to use a kettle that can brew over 1.5 liters,” says Donaghey. “While I might not use the larger capacity every day, it is easier when it comes to having tea parties at home to be able to boil water faster.” Materials Comfort Handle — Counterbalanced and ergonomically shaped, this kettle feels great to hold even when at max capacity. This product includes: Capacity — The majority of kettles range from 30 ounces/ 0.9 liter to 61 ounces/ 1.8 liters. This difference in size impacts how many hot drinks you can make at once. So if you’ve got a larger household, it’s worth considering a kettle with a large capacity.

The Best Upgrade Electric Kettle: Fellow Stagg EKG Pro

If you like to keep things simple, the Cosori Electric Glass Kettle is a no-frills model that’s designed to do one thing: boil water. Made from durable borosilicate glass that lets you watch the water heat up, this inexpensive 1.7-liter model doesn’t have a control dial or any temperature presets. To start the kettle, all you have to do is press a lever located at the base of the handle, at which point a blue light turns on inside the kettle to let you know it’s on. Several minutes later, you have boiling water—and that’s really all there is to it. The lid of the Brewista Artisan attaches too tightly, meaning you need more effort than you would like to remove and reattach it. By comparison, the EKG’s lid fits beautifully. We also love the EKG’s handle, which makes for a comfortable yet firm grip. On the other hand, the Brewista Artisan’s spot can get closer to the grounds, offering greater control over the pouring. Our Verdict

Stovetop kettles are great for those who want to control every detail of the brewing process. With this option, you can adjust the heat level directly on the burner or stovetop for more accuracy and set a timer to ensure you don't over- or under-extract the coffee. Stovetop kettles provide a classic experience, and some come with great features like ergonomic handles and pouring spouts that make it easier to maneuver during the brewing process.

Here's what our customers have been saying about us...

If you need more time before brewing your coffee, or if you want to brew a second one a few minutes later, the Fellow Stagg EKG has you covered. That’s because it has a “Hold” feature that can keep your water at the temperature you desire for an hour. So, with that feature activated, just begin pouring any time within that hour, and you’ll have perfectly heated water.
