Fellow Stagg EKG-EKG Plus Electric Pour-Over Kettle
About Fellow
To bring the cafe experience home without the bulky equipment, we founded Fellow in 2013. We designed our home brewing equipment to be incredibly user-friendly and elegantly practical so that anyone could brew the kind of coffee they enjoy. The Duo Coffee Steeper, a one-of-a-kind brewer that blended the greatest features of pour-over and French press in a single, sophisticated design, was created after eight months and innumerable prototypes. We launched it on Kickstarter and got enough funding to bring it to fruition.

Features Guide
Push the main button to turn on your kettle.

When you have turned HOLD mode on, the screen will flash “HOLD ON”. When your kettle is holding your SET temperature, HOLD will appear at the top of the LCD screen.
Twist the main button to SET the desired temperature. The screen will show “SET” when the temperature is being set.
When the F/C is blinking, the kettle is heating. The top number on your screen is your SET temp. and the bottom is your current temp.
Once your SET temp. is reached, your kettle will steadily maintain that temp. thanks to the smart PID controller.

Pour-Over Instructions
Water Temperature Is Critical
Fill the kettle to just below the handle. Heat water until temperature reaches optimal brew range (195°-205°F) on LCD screen.
Freshly Ground Beans Are the Best
For a 12 oz cup, weigh 24 grams of beans (about 3 tablespoons). Grind coffee to a medium coarseness – the consistency of coarse sand.
Prep The Dripper
Place the filter in a pour-over dripper on a cup or carafe. Pour enough hot water to fully wet the filter and warm the dripper. Empty the carafe of water.
Add Coffee
Dump your coffee grinds into the dripper and shake lightly to flatten for a more even pour. Make sure to read ahead before starting to brew!
Timing It Right
Once you’re ready to brew, hold Stagg EKG/EKG+’s main button for 2 seconds. This will start the Brew Stopwatch. After the 3-second countdown, follow the Brew Stopwatch for your bloom and pour.
The Bloom Is Key
Start pouring at the center of a dripper, working your way out to the sides. Pour about 50 grams of water, or 2 times the amount of coffee you use. Wait 30 seconds for coffee to “bloom” and release CO2.
The Perfect Pour
Continue pouring evenly from the center of the dripper, outward in a circular path. Pouring should take an additional 2:30 – 3 minutes. Stop once you reach 12 oz or 355 grams.
