Fellow Stagg Stovetop Gooseneck Kettle

The Fellow Stagg is the stovetop gooseneck kettle that started it all — the original design that set the benchmark for pour-over pour control, now with a built-in brew range thermometer so you always know when your water is in the brewing sweet spot.

Built-In Brew Range Thermometer

The lid-mounted thermometer is what sets the Stagg apart from a standard stovetop gooseneck. It highlights the optimal coffee brewing temperature range directly on the dial — no guesswork, no separate probe, no waiting to cool. Heat your water on the hob, watch the needle, and pour when you're in range. For pour-over brewing, where hitting 90–96°C makes a real difference to extraction, this is a genuinely useful feature built into a beautifully simple package.

Precision Gooseneck Spout & Pour Control

The Stagg's precision pour spout is designed specifically for the optimal pour-over flow rate — the same fluted gooseneck tip found on the EKG, delivering a slow, controlled, directional stream. The counterbalanced handle moves the centre of mass back towards your hand, giving you a steady, fatigue-free pour throughout the bloom and main pour phases. The result is the kind of controlled saturation that even extraction demands.

Build & Compatibility

The Stagg is constructed from 304 18/8 stainless steel and holds 1.0L (34oz) — enough for multiple pour-over brews in a single fill. It is compatible with both gas and electric hobs, making it a practical choice for any kitchen. No cord, no base, no settings — just the kettle, the spout, and the thermometer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Fellow Stagg stovetop gooseneck kettle? The Fellow Stagg is a stovetop gooseneck pour-over kettle with a built-in brew range thermometer, precision pour spout, and counterbalanced handle. It is designed for manual coffee brewing methods that require controlled water flow and accurate brewing temperature — without needing an electric base or digital controls. It holds 1.0L and is compatible with gas and electric hobs.

How does the built-in thermometer work on the Fellow Stagg? The thermometer is mounted on the lid of the kettle and gives a real-time temperature reading as the water heats on the hob. The dial highlights the optimal brewing temperature range for filter coffee — typically 90–96°C — so you can pour at the right moment without a separate thermometer or guesswork. It is an analogue dial thermometer, not a digital sensor, but it is accurate enough for practical pour-over brewing.

What is the difference between the Fellow Stagg and the Fellow Stagg EKG? The Fellow Stagg is a stovetop kettle — it heats on your hob and uses a built-in analogue thermometer to indicate water temperature. The Fellow Stagg EKG is an electric kettle with a digital LCD display, degree-by-degree temperature control from 57°C to 100°C, a 60-minute hold mode, and a built-in brew stopwatch. The Stagg is the simpler, more affordable option for brewers who prefer a no-plug setup or already own a suitable hob. The Stagg EKG offers greater precision and temperature hold for those who want full electronic control.

Is the Fellow Stagg stovetop kettle compatible with induction hobs? The Fellow Stagg is compatible with gas and electric hobs. Induction compatibility is not confirmed for this model — if you have an induction hob, the Fellow Stagg EKG electric kettle is the recommended alternative, as it heats independently of your hob entirely.

What brewing methods is the Fellow Stagg stovetop kettle suitable for? The Stagg is designed primarily for pour-over brewing methods including the Hario V60, Chemex, and Kalita Wave, where a slow, precise pour is essential for even extraction. It is also well suited to AeroPress brewing and any other manual method that benefits from a controlled gooseneck pour. The 1.0L capacity is enough for multiple brews without refilling.
