Fellow Stagg EKG Pro vs OXO Brew Adjustable Kettle

Buy the OXO unless pour control is the whole point, in which case buy the Stagg EKG Pro. The Stagg's counterbalanced handle and tight PID make the most controlled pour-over kettle; the OXO does variable-temp pouring for a third less and holds more water. Serious pour-over: Stagg. Everyone else: OXO.

What the extra money buys — The Stagg EKG Pro costs about $60 more than the OXO. That buys pour control and precision: a counterbalanced handle and a to-the-degree PID hold, the most controlled pour of the two. The OXO pours through a gooseneck at variable temperature as well, holds a larger 1L, and is the value pick for anyone not chasing pour-over precision.
