The Brewista Artisan Variable Gooseneck at $160 and the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro at $199 both offer LCD displays, temperature hold, gooseneck spouts, and 1200W heating. The Brewista holds 1.0L versus the Pro's 0.9L, making it marginally more useful for larger brew sessions or brewing for two.
The EKG Pro's defining advantage is Bluetooth connectivity and app control. Through Fellow's app, you can set timers, schedule preheat cycles, and monitor temperature remotely. If you follow a strict morning routine and want the kettle hot before you reach the kitchen, this feature has real utility. The LCD on the Pro is also well designed, though the Brewista's LCD is functional and clear.
The Brewista's extra 100ml capacity and $39 lower price make it the stronger value for brewers who don't need app control. Its temperature hold and variable precision are equivalent to the Pro's in practical use. Build quality on both is solid, though Fellow's fit and finish has a slight edge.
Buy the EKG Pro if Bluetooth scheduling fits your routine. Buy the Brewista Artisan if you want the same core precision at a lower cost with more capacity.
