Taste of Fellow Stagg Kettle Coffee hand Pot experience

If you pretend any more, you'll have no friends.

According to the provisions of the Advertising Law, this may be the first Fellow Stagg Kettle hand-flushing pot in Wuhan. At least I haven't seen it in all the cafes yet, at least none of the cafe owners have posted it on Weibo. But I'm sure you'll see it a lot outside in the future.

When I first decided to study hand flushing by myself last year, a friend reminded me that hand flushing such as a DSLR is a pit, and it will cost a lot of money in many places. So I have been soberly restrained. I haven't burned any money on hand-flushing equipment. I basically ignore or make a detour. I'm more patient to spend my energy on every practice. I'm more willing to spend my money on buying good beans or stepping on cafes to pay tuition fees. I have always used the Bonavita temperature control pot, and I have no interest in changing the pot until I have taught myself a lesson or got rid of the handshake gang. But not long after many novices enter the pit, they will buy all the Noda enamel moon rabbit prints, Kalita wooden handles and pure copper, or even more than 2000 Takahiro electroplating pots. In my eyes, they are all piece of shit, that is, no matter how expensive they are, they add eggs.

But restraint does not mean absolute abstinence. Master Lei will not reject products that have a good design, or unique efficacy, and can improve efficiency. Who told me to rise Pisces? For example, ACAIA Wireless Bluetooth Electronics, which is known as the Apple of hand electronics, said that although it has not been on the market for a long time, it has completely changed its life because of its unique subversive product concept and unlimited function expansion ability. Like iPhone, it tells the world what the electronic scale of the future should look like. His appearance has the highest level of industrial design, and the matching application with iPhone/iPad makes it more functional and convenient than you can imagine. Facts have also proved that it plays an important role in my self-study process, whether it is to bid farewell to the hand shaking party, or each hand rush to the front of the preparation process, have saved a lot of time to improve a lot of efficiency, post-rush analysis is also clear.

Recently, the Fellow Stagg Kettle hand-made pot, which has just been received today, has a lot of similarities with ACAIA. With its unique American thinking and product concept, it has also revolutionized the traditional hand pot. Since the rise of the third wave of hand-brewing coffee in Europe and the United States, mostly Japanese hand-brewing pots have been used, and Americans have been too lazy to spend energy on looking for beans. With the growing popularity of boutique coffee, three young people finally began to think about it, which led to the launch of Fellow Stagg Kettle handmade pots last year. Unique shape design, with ergonomic detail processing, and humanized hand punch the best water temperature range of the red logo, each aspect can score high scores. Industrial style, practical idea, the only goose neck kettle with its own thermometer, stainless steel body, no BPA, support for multi-impulse heat source. If you put all the Japanese hand pots in a row with it, it will be recognized immediately. Japanese pots are history, and he is the future. Now more and more boutique coffee shops abroad have begun to use Fellow Stagg Kettle handmade pots, such as British square miles, and the higher the exposure rate will be.

I tried out some expired beans at noon, and the overall feeling was quite satisfactory. The general feelings are as follows:

According to the appearance of online photos, I thought it was only suitable for large water flow and not easy to produce fine water flow, but today's trial process completely subverted my guess that to produce fine water flow is actually quite easy, and the verticality of the water flow is maintained very well. Secondly, the overall stability of the water flow is impressive, basically it is not easy to cut off the flow halfway, and the switching between large and small water flow is very smooth and silky, and there is no rush forward at all. Finally, in the case of strong water flow, the outlet speed seems to be faster than that of Bonavita, which is dominant when you want to replenish water quickly, but fast speed will not break through the dust too much. In terms of handle, the handle is designed to be very round, so it is quite comfortable to grasp, and directly lose the Bonavita which is more suffocating. The handheld handle is a great addition to keeping the kettle mobile, feeling that this is a manifestation of the details of its ergonomic design, and it is quite easy to inject water with one hand. In addition, the two corners of the spout play an obvious role in controlling the stability of the flow, and it is not as smooth as the general kettle.

Doesn't it have any shortcomings? It's just that there is an inconvenience and a notice. Personally, what I find inconvenient is that the lid is too tight and difficult to open, and I don't dare to work too hard. I wonder if this situation will improve after it has been used for a long time. In addition, it should be noted that the first step of water injection must be a little bit stronger, if the water is too light, it is easier to flow down the spout.

Some people say that Master Lei uses this to force the flow of equipment, but personally he really doesn't agree. It's just that the acceptance of high-quality products that are easy to use, efficient and beautifully designed are higher and faster. When you use it at home, you only drink it with your wife. Who do you pretend to show it to? High-quality products make people easy to use, and can bring positive and pleasant mood. To say that this product is expensive? I want to say, I think it's really okay. It won't cost a few cents more than a table or two of shrimp without meat, but it can be used for a long time. I don't like shrimp anyway. If I were an equipment stream, I would have resold 5DIII cameras on salted fish, but I never spent a penny on a SLR.

If ACAIA is the Apple in the hand-flushing electronic scale, I would rather say that Stagg Kettle is the BlackBerry in the hand-flushing pot!

Background introduction: (the following information comes from the network)

Stagg Kettle is the latest improvement of Fellow's gooseneck hand flushing pot, and the famous Duo Coffee Steeper is also designed by Fellow. Only 2000 were produced in 2015, 1000 each for stainless steel or black scrub. The appearance of Stagg is divided into two kinds: stainless steel or black scrub. Both can be heated by electricity or gas, but stainless steel will be better. Stagg's solid handgun handle weighs 5 ounces, which is designed not only to achieve an aesthetic effect, but also to maintain the balance of water in the kettle. The top of the handle is a small plane, which makes the brewing process more convenient, more accurate and easier to control.

There is also a convenient design: the built-in thermometer is marked with the SCAA recommended extraction temperature range, and the thermometer sensor is inserted directly into the water. This kind of pot is not specially designed for making household coffee. In big cafes, baristas don't necessarily have enough time to wait for the water temperature to rise or fall to the right value. Therefore, the business community needs more accurate digital control. Fellow's previous design of Duo brewer is aimed at coffee newcomers. And Stagg hopes to attract experienced baristas who are looking for a more convenient way to make it by hand. "I think a lot of coffee lovers will get used to it soon," said Hanna McPhee, a publicist at Fellow.

With the rise of boutique coffee and the emergence of a combination of coffee and whisky bars, barber shops and cafes, coupled with Stagg's own strong styling and brilliant color, it will sooner or later win the favor of business people. McPhee cited Kalita Thin Spout and Wave Pot as examples: "there are more beautifully designed and feminine kettles, they are really beautiful, but they have a sense of French cafe." The design of Stagg is not only rigorous, but also a little industrial. McPhee claims that Fellow hopes that Stagg will not only have a solid and beautiful appearance, but also have the perfect function to match it, which can fully demonstrate their bold design.
