Fellow is set to release its Stagg EKG and EKG+ electric pour-over kettles in late 2017 after its Kickstarter launch surpassed an original $100,000 goal in under twenty-four hours.
The EKG features an LCD screen and variable temperature control; with the turn of a knob, users can select their desired water temperature. A nifty hold switch offers temperature maintenance for up to thirty minutes. A precision-pour spout and counterbalanced handle allow for a comfortable, precise pour every time.
Want more from your pour-over kettle? How about remote temperature control and brew profiles you can chart and save?
The EKG+ model, powered by Acaia, utilizes bluetooth technology for full control via its Brewbar app. Users can wirelessly turn their EKG+ off and on, set goal temperatures, check current temperatures, and keep track of recipes. Smart scales and grinders from Acaia and Baratza can also connect.
Stagg’s Kickstarter campaign continues until February 12, but those interested in contributing should hurry—they’ve already sold out of base model individual units. Pre-orders for EKG+ units and bundle packages are still available, starting at $149.
