Hello,

I have just pre-ordered a Lagom P100 yesterday, and started wondering if my (Dualit) gooseneck kettle is not up to task? I say this because everyone and their mom seem to have the Stagg EKG Kettle and I can't see why. It's far more expensive and I'm not sure of the returns.

I am for spending money on coffee gadgets when I think it's sensible in terms of connivence and results.

I am also wondering how superior its flow accuracy is

I know of people who find the Stagg too slow for some techniques. I'm happy with a couple other kettles that aren't as expensive.

Unfortunately, my current Dualit kettle simply doesn't get slow enough. What other kettles are you happy with?

Funny enough, my mom bought one after seeing mine so you are spot on.

I had a Breville kettle before the Stagg. It was bigger and a bit bulky. I really liked the size of the Stagg when I saw it in person at a local cafe. The baseplate is small, the screen is very legible, and the controls are simple. I haven't had a recipe I couldn't pour fast enough through the Stagg yet. It looks nice and heats quickly.

Fellow runs coupons quite often. I think I got mine when they did a 15-20% off sale, so it wasn't too bad.

Because we also use it for tea, this is a big advantage. You set the target temperature and forget it as you are working on other things.

It's too slow for something like a Clever Dripper. For me, anyway.

I've used a Bonavita for years, long before the Brewista mess here in the US and the price increases. I also have a Timemore that works well for me. Both seem to me to be relatively high-flow kettles. They may not be what you are looking for if you want a kettle that restricts the flow more than what you have.

There may be some useful insights in James Hoffman's review, which includes the Dualit.
