Fellow Stagg EKG Pro alternatives
Last checked 2026-10-03.
The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro is a 0.9 L gooseneck you can set to the degree from 104 to 212°F (to the half degree in Celsius), with a hold of 15 to 60 minutes and a clock and schedule. The OXO Brew Pour-Over has a 104–212°F dial per its manual, which does not state the step, and a 30-minute hold, and adds a count-up timer instead of a schedule. The COSORI CO108-NK is a 0.8 L gooseneck with five presets, not a range, and a 60-minute hold. The difference is in the controls and what is disclosed, not in a ranking we could defend.

The three side by side
| Fellow Stagg EKG Pro | OXO Brew Pour-Over | COSORI CO108-NK | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Style | gooseneck | gooseneck | gooseneck |
| Capacity | 0.9 L Fellow's product page: “Capacity: 30 oz (0.9 L)” | 1 L Amazon listing B074KHPS7F: “Capacity 1 liters” (the OXO manual and product page read do not state it) | 0.8 L COSORI manual, specifications: “Capacity 0.85 qt / 0.8 L” |
| Minimum fill | not stated: not stated in the Fellow sources read for the Pro | not stated: the OXO manual gives no minimum; it warns that under-filling may switch the kettle off before it boils | ½ cup / 118 mL |
| Temperature settings | 104–212°F in 1°F steps (0.5°C in Celsius) °F or °C, chosen in the menu; Fellow's product page: “Temperature range: 104°F-212°F / 40°C-100°C”; Fellow's Stagg EKG Pro guide: “to-the-degree temperature precision. (Using Celsius? You can even adjust to the half-degree.)” | a 104–212°F dial; step not stated °F or °C, chosen with the dial; OXO manual: “choose desired water temperature between 104°F (40°C) and 212°F (100°C)”; OXO's manual gives the dial's range but not the size of a step | presets 170, 180, 195, 205, 212°F °F on the buttons; the manual gives the °C for each; COSORI manual, preset buttons 170°F WHITE to 212°F BOIL BLACK |
| Hold after heating | 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, chosen in the Hold menu source | 30 minutes, then it switches off source | 60 minutes, if HOLD TEMP is pressed before heating finishes source |
| Other controls | clock and once/daily schedule, altitude and pre-boil settings, guide mode | built-in count-up timer | a table of which preset to use for boiling at altitude |
| Water-contact materials | partly disclosed Fellow lists “304 18/8 stainless steel, BPA-free plastic handle and lid pull”; it does not say what the underside of the lid or any seal is made of | not identified OXO lists the product's materials as “Stainless steel, nylon, silicone, aluminum, polypropylene, TPE, polycarbonate” without saying which of them the water touches | partly disclosed COSORI's product page says “The kettle, lid, and spout are made of food-grade stainless steel”; it does not name the material of any other part the water touches, and that is its statement, not something checked here |
| Warranty | 2-year standard (Fellow's product page) | 2 years (OXO manual) | 1 year, plus 1 more year if registered (COSORI manual) |
| Sources | Fellow Stagg EKG product page (Pro variants) Stagg EKG Pro Get to Know You Guide | OXO Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle product page OXO Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle instruction manual | COSORI CO108-NK product page COSORI CO108-NK user manual |

Kinds of claim on this page: capacities, fill limits, temperature settings, hold times and warranties are product evidence from each maker's manual or product page, named in the table; there are no compatibility statements here, since no part is shared between these kettles; what a maker says about materials touching the water (“BPA free”, “food-grade stainless steel”) is a manufacturer claim, quoted as theirs; a value no source read states is unknown and shown as not stated, never as zero. No price is shown.
What carries over from the EKG Pro, and what does not
- OXO Brew Pour-Over. Comparable: the 104–212°F range (OXO does not say in what steps), °F or °C, and a hold (30 minutes, fixed, against the Pro's 15–60). Not comparable: no clock or schedule, no altitude or pre-boil setting; a count-up timer instead. Its manual gives no minimum fill. Amazon link at launch
- COSORI CO108-NK. Comparable: a gooseneck spout and a hold (60 minutes). Not comparable: five presets (170, 180, 195, 205, 212°F) instead of a range, 0.8 L against 0.9 L, no schedule. Its manual does state a minimum: ½ cup / 118 mL. Amazon link at launch
The Pro is not the original Stagg EKG: the original Stagg EKG (not the Pro) holds for 60 minutes when the switch on the back of its base is set to HOLD (Fellow), while the Pro sets its hold in a menu. What is said here about the Pro does not carry over to the original, or the other way round.
On materials, the three disclose different things: Fellow names its stainless steel but not the underside of the lid; COSORI names food-grade stainless steel for the kettle, lid and spout but no other part; OXO lists seven materials without saying which touch the water. None of this is checked here.
Left out, and why
- Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Studio Edition (1220PROS-MB-US, B0BSVQGR71): the same kettle body and controls as the Pro with a glass and metal base; left out so the page compares different kettles, not trims
- Original Fellow Stagg EKG: Fellow's own store lists only the Pro and Pro Studio; its hold works differently (see below), so it is not treated as interchangeable with the Pro
- OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Kettle (8716900, B01KTRDKNW): sold by Amazon.com on 2026-10-03; not added in this re-check, which covers the listed kettles only
- Fellow Corvo EKG Pro (B0BZ59157H): not a gooseneck kettle, and its Amazon listing's model name reads “Stagg EKG Pro”, which the listing does not reconcile
We tested nothing: no temperature accuracy, heating time, flow rate or pouring control was measured, and nothing here ranks kettles. A temperature a kettle is set to, or shows, is the maker's setting, not an independently measured temperature. Rated watts are not shown as a heating-speed or energy comparison. This is not advice on preparing infant formula or on any medical use of hot water; follow each maker's own use and cleaning instructions.
Gooseneck or an ordinary spout: gooseneck vs general-purpose kettle. All five kettles by capacity, settings, hold and materials: temperature-control kettle comparison.
