      The stagg kettle is a status symbol. All of the same people have it for the same reasons. The reasons are not function.

        Could’ve fooled me. I got mine for the temperature control and the goose neck spout. Going strong for 3-4 years now.

          Same here. Simple design, comes to the exact temp I want and holds it there. Mine lasted about three years until I got it wet and the readout went out. Weirdly it still worked fine but I eventually replaced it.

          Only annoying part of it is the flow control is just a little too aggressive. I have to break out my other kettle when i’m making tea because I just can’t quite pour fast enough. But ya there’s only a few kettles that you could argue are actually better than the stagg. And sure you pay a bit extra for the design but that’s fine.

        You’re not wrong. I have a cheap pouring kettle elsewhere and I sort of prefer using it. But I bought the Corvo first and figured since I already had the base I might as well get the replacement Stagg and have interoperability.

        Idk I got mine because James Hoffman said, of the five or so he tested in some video, it was the easiest to pour slowly. I’m not exactly an expert so maybe it’s not actually very functional, but I didn’t buy mine solely for the looks. Just like 50% haha

        Yeah, if you complain they just send you a new one. Didn’t even ask for the old one back. They must be making money hand over fist.
