I’ve used my Fellow Kettles for several years and it is LIFECHANGING. Not only does the Stagg EKG look great but it works perfectly just like it did say 1. No leaks, perfect temp, and always a conversation piece when company comes over. I’ve even gifted these to family and they all love. Do yourself a favor and get it, you won’t be disappointed.

Buyer beware - these tea pots leak. I purchased one from Nordstrom that leaked. Fortunately they swapped it out for a new one thinking it was just the pot but the second one leaked more than the first one. I really wanted to like this pot given its sleek design. 5 stars for great aesthetics but functionality gets zero stars.

This is my second Stagg kettle from Fellow, my other one being the matte white (non-wood) which I’ve shared with my roommate for more than a year and it still looks brand new. I purchased the cream color for my own use and it looks just as imaged, the lid is not loose, there are no leaks, and there are no issues with wood cracking after a handful of uses so far. What’s important to note to prevent wood cracking and damage is to use food-grade mineral oil on the wood handle and knob (the same mineral oil advertised as a laxative). I applied it once before I started using it and will continue in the future for once-a-month application.

I received the Kettle a few days ago, I really love the look. It enhances my countertop look and bring water to your desired temperature in a few minutes.

I love this kettle! I bought it specifically to use with my Chemex for pour over. The temperature is easy to set and the kettle brings water to the desired temp quickly. It’s also not as loud as other kettles I’ve owned. The built in timer is useful for timing the bloom and pouring steps of making pour over. The flow of water through the spout is steady, doesn’t leak, and is easy to aim. In short, it lives up to the hype.

This was a gift but if it's like the kettle I personally own, I give it 5 stars.
