Good to have you back. My Timemore kettle died today (POS was malfunctioning for the past year). This video showed up just in time!

I have only had mine for about three weeks now, so I don’t have any long-term experience yet, but I can say that I am enjoying using this new Stagg EKG pro studio kettle every day so far. It costs a lot for a kettle and of course isn’t necessary, but for something I use daily it really is worth it to me to have all the small features and high quality materials.

How about now?

I bought this in black with walnut handles for pour over coffee and like it, even if I don't particularly like the kettle's aesthetic (never have). I've had it for months, and unless you've got it right under a bright light, those fingerprints probably won't bother you alll that much. Since I don't use it daily, I also like that I can set it to boil the water first and then drop it back down to 205 F automatically for pour over. If you do opt for the black and you have hard water you may notice a white spot here and there after it dries. Since I'm in rural California farm land with very hard water, I can say even this isn't much of an issue, since I can just rub the white away with my fingertip easily when it happens from time to time. What I don't like is that the kettle is connected to Wi-Fi but every time the power goes out or daylight savings time changes YOU, not IT, will have to change the time again. (That's so 1982 with the VCR flashing 12:00 over and over.) For this premium price, and given that it's connected to Wi-Fi already, it should do this automatically. If you opt for the wood handles version you should get food grade mineral oil and apply, then rub away any excess with a paper towel once each month (per Fellow). (You can get food grade mineral oil elsewhere, but it's cheap at Target in the pharmacy section.) Bonus, this kettle makes a great no-spill watering vessel for plants in small pots. I also bought the Fellow Tally Pro scale, not so much because I love its aesthetic either or wanted a match, but solely for the Brew Asssist feature (which I love [no more need to add a couple beans or take a few away to reach a target weight]). Why the base of the kettle and the scale are two different heights side by side seems like a missed opportunity for an harmonious design match between the two, especially when the difference isn't even all that much. It would have been a slicker pairing if the bases were the same height exactly. The Tally Pro also doesn't come with any kind of mat to protect the weighing tray surface, so I'm sure over time, given that it's a textured surface, it's going to be worn here and there and not look very nice.

You have to wipe miniral oil on the wood accents so they don't crack and chip wood drys out so you have to moisturize it

When will it be available in Europe?.

[@mijnnaamisaaron]

yeah probably not before the holiday season. Can't find it either.
