💡Tip: Using a variable temperature kettle when learning to brew tea can extremely beneficial when determining the best temperature for each different type of tea. Start with a lower temperature and slowly increase the temperature and brew time to find your desired taste preference.

OMG THE PINK FELLOW KETTLE.... MY HEART...
We felt the same way 😍
Thank you for calling out the plastic inside the kettles!
Just purchased the matte black with walnut fellow stag kettle for my partner as a gift. I am a loose leaf tea lover and he is a pour over coffee fanatic! Seemed like a good investment for both of us. I'm so excited, thank you for the detailed review!
This is actually the EXACT comparison video I was hoping to find but had little hopes of coming close, haha. Such a wonderfully detailed review, touching on all of the components I was hoping to compare/contrast. THANK YOU!!!
Macy's has a 4th of July sale right now on the OXO. After all discounts were applied I was able to pick it up for $59.99 before tax. I figured at that price it was worth a shot and I am very pleased with it so far. Great comparison! Love the content!
That’s a great price for that quality and kettle! Thanks for sharing that find!

I’m so glad I watched this. You changed my mind on getting a tea kettle vs a pour over water kettle for tea
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful. What teas will you be brewing with your new tea kettle?
You helped me make my decision and it will be the Stagg (with an Amazon warranty for sure). I have painful hands and balance and weight are a big deal. Sound level is also a very important issue for me and I would not have considered that unless I watched this video. Thank you for the great review!!
Thanks for sharing your experiences, glad it could be helpful, thanks for watching! Have a great day, I love the stagg!
I never dreamed I would have watched an 18 minute video on tea kettle - I usually skip around and cut to the chase. But I was so fascinated with the details that I forgot to fast forward! I’ve had my eye on the Stagg, and your video confirmed my choice. I’m just waiting for my old T-Fal to finally quit on me, so I can justify the expense! Thanks for a great video.
haha, thank you for sharing and watching. Glad you enjoyed it!
Something important to me is counter space and the Oxo is more compact. Thanks for the great video. I’ve been having trouble choosing which to buy so have stuck with my non-gooseneck one for now.
What a delightful review. So thoughtful and well put together
Thanks for sharing, the ability to pour fast and slow is a huge point. I now have two fellow kettle for that exact reason. One in the video to pour slowly (for raw Pu-erh) and the triangle spout (for ripe pu-erh) so the oxo does two in one when it comes to pouring. Thanks for sharing
I love coffee kettles 💜
excellent video, very informative, exactly what i was looking for.
This is an absolutely excellent comparison/review of these kettles!. Wish I'd seen it earlier, it would have cut my decision process by several hours. Love how thorough you are, down to details and demonstrating pours. Thank you so much! btw, re higher wattage and faster boil time on Oxo...I've wondered about the physics involved. In other words, just because the water is bubbling doesn't mean the consistent internal temp of the water is consistently boil temp. for ex, you can bring a cup of water to bubbling in the microwave and discover that it's not actually boiling temp throughout. So...maybe the incredibly slow time of the Stagg to work its way through final few degrees up to temp is necessary in order to achieve an accurate temp throughout the water??
Thanks for the kind words, I am glad it could be of help. It was fun to make and share! The physics of water is always interesting topic.
"Esse vídeo é uma verdadeira aula! A forma como o autor explica cada detalhe é simplesmente genial."
So glad I saw this. My high schooler is very into tea and just bought the Fellow Stragg. He saw a few reviews that were for it's use for pour-over and I was slightly skeptical considering the price. On the other hand I love the design and will be happy to see it on our counter as opposed to the others that are ugly! So happy the features are top notch AND that you like it for tea!
Thanks for watching 😀it’s a great kettle
Great ! very detailed , thorough and precise - thanks!🙏🏿
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jeffery has such a calm voice. He should make a vid where here brews tea but makes it ASMR. 😌
Excellent review, thank you so much for comparing the three so thoroughly 👍
Thank you for the reviews of the 3 kettles.
Karen E glad it was helpful :)
Jeffrey McIntosh 😁 How tall is the Fellow kettle?
@@karene.364 The Dimensions of 0.9Lkettle is 11.5″x 6.75″x 8″ (292mm x 171mm x 203mm)
Jeffrey McIntosh Thank you!!
I thought my Bonavita broke after 5 years of daily use, but it turns out the contacts just needed a quick cleaning; now it's good as new. As a replacement, I wanted something without plastic on the inside, but I also wanted a comparison to what I have already. After some basic research, I narrowed down my options to the OXO and the Stagg. This helped a lot; thank you, Jeffrey! If my Bonavita ever does die on me, I'll know what to get next.
Very informative! So many details to consider, this truly helps to determine what matters for our family. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Glad it was helpful happy tea kettle buying 😃
Great detail review! I'm in the midst of buying a kettle and I want to get it right. Thanks for the info!
Good stuff Jeff! Nicely explained
I emailed Fellow to ask about the plastic in their kettles and they mentioned a silicone gasket on the temp gauge. Is that not visible in your model? Or do you think it’s changed since you purchased yours? It’s so frustrating trying to find a plastic-free kettle, especially since so many listings don’t even show you the inside, much less discuss it. Thanks for your review.
Excellent review Jeff! So we’ll done!
Thanks for watching! Haha
Excellent Review. Love the details and demonstrations.
GYPSY SOUL thanks so much! Glad it was useful.
Great thorough well thought review. Cheers
Excellent video! I am a tea drinker, but I do not do Gongfu style or require a slow pour. Bought myself this pink Stagg for Christmas, but now I am questioning whether I should have purchased the Corvo EKG with the short spout and fast pour. Do you have a review of the Corvo EKG kettle? Thank you!
Pink fellowww! Niceeee
That’s a nice blouse!
Great review video with lots of great information
Thanks for watching lad it was helpful
I was gonna get the bonavita but now it looks like I'm getting the ovo since it has no plastic internals and seems to be a solid kettle
It’s a great kettle and if you can get it on sale all the better
Well done!
New to your channel, glad to be here. Nicely done. Do you think accuracy of temperature by the kettle is a factor? Also, would you ever want to talk about the difference in temperature as water goes from kettle and gaiwan? I’m thinking I’m steeping my white tea at 90C, for example, but it’s really 80C in the gaiwan. Bigger steeping vessels must retain heat longer. Or pouring the next steep while the vessel is still hot from the previous. Factors like that. I’ll check out your other videos. Thx! Oh, btw, I have 3 OXO, but I do like the non-kitcheny Stagg look better.
That is a great question. The gooseneck, does slightly lower the temperature more then a non gooseneck, a more important consideration is to ensure you are preheating your Gawain to help from a large variation in temperature. For ripe Pu-erh (which needs a higher temp) I use smaller pour sprout kettles to keep the temp higher. I have both Fellows: Gooseneck for Raw Pu-erh and Corvo for Ripe Pu-erh
One electric kettle that I was looking at will hold the temperature but it will only hold at up to 205 degrees. Will the Stagg hold at 212 degrees for 60 minutes?
Very nice video
I think the Brewista Artisan kettle series are missing in this test, they are the other big name in gooseneck kettle for pour over coffee :)
Agreed they didn’t make it into this video but maybe a future video for sure. Thank you for your feedback and options!
thanks for this! curious how you would compare the Willow & Everett gooseneck electric kettle with preset temp options, as it seems comparable at slightly better price point. any view? thanks!
If you don’t need preset option it is another great option at those price points and may be a better option then Bonavita. Though the oxo would be slightly better IMO and the fellow the best.
@@JeffreyMcIntosh thanks for the quick helpful reply! may i ask you what makes the Oxo better? (given the near-double price point, or maybe 1/3 more at sales) (incidentally, on preset, since it assumes the same temp from last time unless i change it, that's good enough for me).
is smeg kettle good or just look good?
Design over function. They’re fine for boiling water but not very controlled for exact temperature settings or pour-over coffee or loose-leaf tea. The lid button can get annoying and not work correctly.
Decibels with a b my guy not decimals lmao that made my day
I have the Oxo for more than a year. I find the spout is not really accurate. Should I upgrade to a Stag?/Brewista/Timemore ?
If you already got the oxo, I say keep it until you need another kettle or it dies on you and then upgrade to the stagg. But the oxo is great all around kettle, better then most.
I don't think Stagg would necessarily be an upgrade. My 2 (3?) cents:
1. it has poor quality control. I see people mention broken Staggs a lot. I went through two of them and both had manufacturing defects. Customer support seems very good though, they usually replace them without issues
2. it has poor firmware. I had it barely for a week and already have seen weird blinking on the display. It could be also symptom of the manufacturing defect above but I've seen other people mention it as well
3. the display has poor viewing angle, enough that you need to think about that while placing the base
(sorry if repeating some points from the video, was just rewatching selectively now)
*TEAAAA*
The big one is for cook herbal tea like Liangcha 涼茶。 the gooseneck is not that good for Chinese Kongfu tea. Try the non gooseneck kettle you will know why.
ayo my g you put mad respect into this video. good looks
I just got a Stagg at a Mennonite yard sale for $1!
Haha that is great! Best deal of the century, wonderful kettle! Good find!
I know you advised against brewing in the kettle, but there’s a recipe I make that requires brewing the tea leaves for 15 minutes at precisely 96 degrees C. Is there a kettle here that can do that for me? Thanks
a pot on the stove, with a thermometer
So great. Namu Amitabul

I thought it isn't real wood.
It’s real, and sure would hope so at that premium price
why gooseneck? lol
