“Seconded. This kettle is awesome!”— AlwaysAtRiverwood on Reddit
“TLDR - 600ml capacity, so it is tiny, but it boils in 3 mins (vs Bonavita Variable's 9 mins). It is hella expensive for a kettle at $149, but is well built, has many features, and is flashy AF.”— awkwardsoul on Reddit
“There are few cons with this kettle which I found out after purchasing”— @X4XP11 on YouTube
“I got my Fellow Stagg EKG used at a discount from a coworker. But now that I'm accustomed to the convenience, I probably would still pay full price for it now if I had to replace it.”— magus-21 on Reddit
“I recently made the switch to an electric kettle myself and it is so worth it imo, especially for how fast it heats up and being able to set a specific temperature. The one I have (Fellow Stagg EKG) you can even hold the set temperature for up to an hour”— magicalmarshmallows on Reddit
“Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle: I mean, it looks nice, sure. But my first one had a defective base that required email after email after email to convince the company to activate my warranty. Just get the Bonavita. It does the same thing and is often on sale.”— WowDotes on Reddit
