Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle? Its price moves around a lot, so check Amazon for today's price. Here are 3 cheaper swaps from $70: the OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle is the closest match from another brand, the Fellow Stagg Pour-Over Kettle (stovetop) is a cheaper option from Fellow and the COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle is the cheapest at about $70. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
The Stagg EKG is worth it if you brew pour-over and want to set an exact water temperature. Fellow's manual says you set the temperature to the degree with one dial, start a built-in Brew Stopwatch from the same dial, and flip a HOLD switch to keep water at that temperature for 60 minutes. It holds 0.9 L (30 oz) and runs at 1200 watts. In TechGearLab's test, the Stagg EKG landed within 0.6°F of a 200°F coffee target, and TechGearLab named it its top pick for pour-over.
The OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature kettle ($100) also lets you pick a temperature and has a built-in timer. Coffee Review found it heated 600 ml to 205°F more than a minute faster than three other kettles, and TechGearLab measured it 2.0°F off a 200°F target. The COSORI ($70) only has preset temperatures, but TechGearLab liked its pour feel. If you heat water on the stove anyway, the stovetop Stagg ($85) keeps the Stagg pour spout, though it has no set temperature or hold mode.

Both let you set a temperature and have a timer. Coffee Review lists the OXO at 1 liter and 1500 watts and found it heats fast. Fellow lists the Stagg EKG at 0.9 L and 1200 watts with a 60-minute hold. In TechGearLab's test, the Stagg came closer to a 200°F coffee target (0.6°F off vs 2.0°F for the OXO). The OXO is $100.
Fellow's manual says HOLD mode keeps your set temperature for 60 minutes. Lifting the kettle and putting it back resets the 60 minutes. After that, it goes to standby for 15 minutes and then turns off. The newer Stagg EKG Pro lets you pick 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Fellow's manual says that if the kettle heats up but won't boil, mineral scale may be building up. Use a scale/lime remover and follow its maker's directions. For everyday cleaning, wash the inside with soapy water and rinse. Never put it in the dishwasher or under water.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
