Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle

A gooseneck kettle is what makes pour-over feel easy instead of fussy. The narrow spout pours a slow, steady stream, so water lands where it should rather than flooding the grounds. The EKG lets them set an exact temperature, handy because light and dark roasts each taste best at different heat, and its hold mode keeps water ready for up to an hour. It also looks good enough to live on the counter. The original EKG covers what most people need and still turns up at coffee retailers; the EKG Pro, the version pictured, adds programmable presets and a color screen, worth it only for a tinkerer. Either way it is a pricey kettle, so make sure they actually brew pour-over first.
