The Hario V60 Buono at $59 is a stovetop kettle. It has no electrical components, no temperature control, no display, and no hold function. It heats on a burner and pours through a classic gooseneck. At 0.49kg and 1.2L, it's light and spacious. That's the full feature list.
The Fellow Stagg EKG Pro at $199 is an electric kettle with 1200W output, variable temperature from 135°F to 212°F, temperature hold up to 60 minutes, an LCD display, Bluetooth connectivity, and app-based scheduling. It reaches brewing temperature in roughly 3-4 minutes with no burner required.
The $140 price difference buys electric convenience, precision without a separate thermometer, consistent temperature maintenance, and remote control. For most home brewers, these are meaningful quality-of-life improvements that directly affect brew consistency.
The Hario Buono serves a specific user: someone with a high-quality stovetop, an accurate thermometer, and a preference for minimal electric appliances. If that's you, $59 is an excellent price. For everyone else, the EKG Pro's precision and convenience justify the cost.
