Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle
Design-favorite gooseneck kettle with a 304 steel interior - the only things touching water are steel and two silicone parts (lid gasket, probe sleeve).
Plastic-free verdict: Silicone only
The kettle body and interior are 304 stainless steel and the lid underside is steel, so no hard plastic touches the water. Two silicone parts are in the water/steam path: a gasket ring under the lid and a compression-molded sleeve around the temperature probe at the bottom. The handle, lid pull, and base are BPA-free polypropylene but never contact water. So it clears the plastic bar but not the silicone bar.

The Stagg EKG is Fellow's flagship electric gooseneck kettle, aimed at pour-over coffee. It has variable temperature control, a hold setting, a built-in brew stopwatch (Pro models add scheduling and a screen), and the precise thin gooseneck spout that pour-over needs. Capacity is 0.9 L. The interior is polished 304 stainless with a steel lid underside; the only non-metal water-contact parts are food-grade silicone.
Pros
- 304 stainless interior and steel lid underside - no hard plastic in the water path
- Excellent pour control from the gooseneck spout; precise temperature setting
- Silicone (not plastic) is the only non-metal touching water, and it is food-grade
- Steel is the exact material microplastic kettle studies point people toward
Cons
- Two silicone parts contact water/steam, so not fully plastic-free
- The lid gasket sits loosely and can leak on steep pours per reviewers
- Handle, lid pull, and base are BPA-free plastic (no water contact, but present)
- Premium price for a small 0.9 L capacity
Notes
- Models: Stagg EKG, EKG Pro, EKG Pro Studio; interiors are the same 304 steel
- Descale periodically; the silicone lid gasket is removable for cleaning
- Water-contact silicone is inert at boiling temps; relevant only if you avoid silicone entirely
