The verdict
The kettle that looks like furniture, or the one that just works.
Fellow's Stagg EKG is built like an instrument — variable temp to the degree, brushed-steel housing, the kind of object you leave on the counter on purpose. Bonavita gives you five fixed temperatures and a thirty-minute hold for less than half the price. Both nail the gooseneck pour. The Stagg is for people who care what's next to their kettle. The Bonavita is for people who care about the cup.
Pick Fellow Stagg if
The kettle is part of the décor. Temperature to the degree matters.
Pick Bonavita 1.0L if
Five temperatures is enough. You'd rather spend the difference on tea.

We pick a lane. We say so. Then we link both, because we know the lane isn't always yours.
