Comparison of Fellow Stagg EKG 600vs 900 large and small black pots out of the box & lt; home cooking point of view & gt

Fellow Stagg EKG 600vs 900black pot compared to open the box

Since its launch in January, Fellow Stagg EKG has been favored by many coffee lovers.

Intuitive knob temperature control design + accurate PID temperature control system

There is also a super good-looking design, which really makes people have new standards and choices for temperature control pots.

If you want to know more about EKG, you can go back to the pot and take a look at the EKG 900open-box article written by the senior.

With the advent of the EKG 900s, the EKG 600s, designed for Asians, will be on the market two months later.

It also makes many people ask seniors whether they should buy a large pot 900 or a small and medium-sized pot 600.

Let the seniors make a thorough analysis.

I. Base

The heating base of EKG 600is the same as that of EKG 900. there is no difference in size.

Of course, there is no difference in temperature control functions, including

㊣ thermal insulation mode

㊣ intuitively presses the knob

㊣ Celsius / Fahrenheit switching

㊣ automatically starts heating + remembers the previously set temperature

㊣ precise temperature control

㊣ timing function

In addition, EKG 600and EKG 900can be heated interchangeably.

This is super good news for friends who have a budget to buy 2, especially for shopkeepers.

According to the pot type that the brewer is accustomed to, the upper pot can be placed in a convenient base position.

And can be exchanged at any time, in response to a large number of brewing needs, EKG 900can also act as an electric kettle.

Second, appearance

Except that the pot body of EKG 600is narrower and shorter than that of EKG 900,

The overall design is almost exactly the same as 900.

Favorite appearance, waist Radian. And so on, all perfect copy proportional reduction

Some people like the design of fellow, but have misgivings about using EKG 900s too much.

It is true that there is obvious compensation on the 600, which looks smaller.

The actual size is measured from the end of the grip to the front of the spout.

The EKG 900is about 30 cm,EKG and about 27 cm, with a difference of about 3 cm.

Height: measure from the highest point of the lid to the bottom of the pot

EKG 900 is about 17.5 cm,EKG 600 is about 16 cm, with a difference of about 1.5 cm

At first glance, the data feel little different, but there are significant differences in vision.

But at present, the smallest fellow series is still the fellow Stagg mini without heating function.

The EKG 600 is actually smaller in appearance, but its weight is still the lightest in mini.

Third, water supply function design

The design of the spout and the diameter of the kettle pipe of the EKG 600is the same as that of the EKG 900.

So the advantage of the original EKG 900s being easy to control is full replication.

The spout of the clip is basically the same as that of the EKG 900s.

However, because the whole pot is heavier, it is more difficult to use the drip method.

At present, in the fellow series, the smallest and lightest fellow mini is the most smooth to do bit by bit.

The important water control grip is exactly the same as the EKG 900s.

Therefore, the function of adjusting the center of gravity is also brought into full play.

However, because of the shorter body of the EKG 600s (a difference of 3 cm), the accuracy of overall water control & the sense of balance

EKG 600s still have a slight advantage = lighter and more accurate

Third, the kettle is heavy

The EKG 900of the large pot property is easy to give people a heavy association with the pot.

Is there an obvious difference in weight among the smaller EKG 600s?

According to the measurement of seniors, there is only a difference of 50 grams between EKG 900and EKG 600s.

The EKG 900empty pot weighs about 800g, and the EKG 600empty pot weighs about 750g

There is not much difference between the two.

Therefore, the lightness of the EKG 600is mainly reflected in the fact that the kettle is small and easy to control, not the weight of the kettle.

Is there any doubt that the weight of the pot of 750 to 800 grams is too heavy?

You can refer to the data

It also has heating function: BALMUDA The Pot empty pot weighs about 650g.

It also belongs to the large pot type: the kalita classic pot 900 is the magic lamp, and the empty pot weighs 700g.

Medium pot type: kalita copper pot pot 700. the empty pot weighs 560g

Small pot type: the black iron is quite light on the market, and the empty pot weighs 430 grams

From the above data, we can see that the EKG series is indeed a heavier pot.

But it is not much different from the heating pots and large pots on the market.

There is a big difference between small and medium-sized pots.

Third, second, the influence of water supply caused by the center of gravity.

But because it is a temperature control pot, there is a heating coil on the base.

Whether it is EKG 900 or 600, the center of gravity obviously falls on the bottom of the pot.

Therefore, at the beginning of use, it is easy to give people the feeling of heavy bottom of the pot.

But after getting used to it, it is easy to make a stable and soft water supply.

This can be said to be the biggest compensation for the weight of the pot in the EKG series.

And the steady water supply is also one of the important reasons why the seniors give him high marks.

IV. Measured water supply status

The first test of EKG 600s: loading the water level in the usual 400c.c

And match with the more complicated steaming + water column exchange method.

It can be seen from the film that the effect of steaming is uniform and the supporting force is good.

It can be attributed to the soft water supply of EKG series, and the powder layer can hold water.

The control of the small water column for water injection at the central point of the front section is quite easy and stable.

The moderate water supply allows the air to be discharged smoothly, and the normal flow rate of the filter cup makes the taste refreshing.

The second large water column can easily give a sufficient amount of water to make a stirring effect.

And there is still no doubt that the water will be cut off when the water level is close to the low water level.

Finally return to the central point and limit the flow rate of the filter cup driven by small water.

It is obvious that the stability of water supply at the lowest water level is still quite good.

Therefore, less water can be used to complete the cooking, and there will be no problem of water cut off and water burst.

This is a big advantage of the EKG series, and it also makes up for the problem of heavy pot body.

(the kettle is heavy but needs to be filled with less water, so the overall weight can be reduced.)

Compare with EKG 900s (middle water level)

When both pots use the usual 400 c.c.

The changing control of EKG 600s in water control is indeed slightly better than EKG 900s.

But the difference is really small, because the EKG 900itself is quite easy to control.

And when the two pots are at the same water level, the overall weight difference is only 50 grams.

And the minimum amount of water will not have the problem of water cut off and water burst.

Therefore, in the case of cooking 1-2 people within 350c.c, there is not much difference between the two.

EKG 900test: load 900c.c maximum water level

Match with a relatively simple one-cut flow to test the stability.

It can be seen that at the beginning of the water supply, the seniors' hands did shake a bit.

Because it is really higher than my usual weight.

But because of the relationship between the center of gravity distribution of the EKG series and the design of the spout

The water supply immediately returned to normal stability, and the draught of the powder layer was in good condition.

When it comes to the middle and back section to circle outward, it is really more difficult for the heavier kettle to circle quickly.

Therefore, it is more suitable for less complicated water supply methods.

However, the expansion and exhaust of the whole powder layer are quite good.

The powder layer is kept quite intact, which is an interesting experience for seniors.

After all, I was worried that the unstable water supply at first would have an impact.

I didn't expect that the high water level soft and stable water injection made my one-size-fits-all performance good.

For seniors, this is something that can only be felt by mistakes.

It should be of great benefit to consumers who are generally not so stable.

Compare with EKG 600s (high water level)

At the highest water level, the EKG 600s are certainly more obvious because of the advantage of small pots.

About 350g less weight and shorter pot body than EKG 900s.

Naturally, the power of control is higher.

But the stable + soft water supply of EKG 900can also make up for it.

Therefore, the seniors come to the following conclusions

If your technique is complicated, EKG 600 definitely meets your water control needs.

If your skill complexity is low, but you want high stability and low error rate: EKG 900is more suitable for your stability needs.

Based on the above four points, seniors suggest that you can choose EKG 600or EKG 900for your favorite punch.

Don't just be confused by the numbers. in fact, the main difference between the two is not the size, but the orientation of cooking.

1. If you are female or female-dominated cooking environment:

It is recommended that you buy EKG 600. a shorter pot body is easier for girls to control.

two。 If you are a busy family / beginner who wants to focus on stability, hope to save trouble > have fun

It is recommended that you buy EKG 900. although the water supply is heavy but relatively stable, it can make you drink well and reduce the error rate.

3. If you are a cooking enthusiast who likes multiple techniques or likes to have fun:

Both EKG 600s and EKG 900s can meet your needs, but EKG 600s are cheaper, so buy them
