+14 pts“You can thank Mr. Hoffman for recommending the t-90s and Abacas. Now they're either sold out or double/triple the normal price to meet increased demand. Anybody have a decent alternative for the t-90 that's not Sibarist?”

Best praise vs top criticism for Fellow Stagg EKG
Best Praise
+55 pts“I've used my Stagg EKG every day since fall of 2018, no issues here. It's possible you got a faulty one.”
r/PourOver
ViewTop Criticism
+28 pts“Just want to say that this is a very well thought out review. I have a Stagg EKG, and while the kettle pours nicely it's poorly constructed and the design flaws, lack of repairability, and lack of respect for the enthusiast community you mention are spot on. The knob in particular is a very common point of failure that Fellow has never really addressed properly. Ode is a good value grinder but I don't have confidence in the longevity of Fellow products, so I looked elsewhere. ”
