The Pro, built from a glass base, zinc frame, and metal touchpoints. Same brewing, elevated materials. The Studio Edition is the Stagg EKG Pro with its materials traded up. Glass base instead of plastic. Zinc frame instead of a lighter alloy. A metal cap on the handle instead of molded plastic. The brewing feels identical because functionally it is identical: same 1200W heater, same to-the-degree temperature control, same gooseneck, same Guide Mode and scheduling and WiFi updates. What changes is how it sits on the counter. The reflective glass base picks up the light around it. The metal touchpoints feel cold and deliberate in the hand. It's the difference between a tool that does its job and a tool you're happy to leave out in your kitchen. The Pro and Pro Studio Edition use the same base hardware, which means their kettles and bases are cross-compatible. If you already own a Pro base, a Studio kettle drops right onto it. If you own a Pro Studio base, a Pro kettle works too. The Studio is the Pro with nothing added and nothing removed. Just better materials in the places your hand touches. We stock the Studio Edition for subscribers who spend real time in the kitchen, who leave the kettle on the counter full-time rather than tucking it away, and who care about how the pieces they use every day look and feel. The brewing is the same. The object is not. What the Studio adds. Glass top on an aluminum base — A reflective glass surface on the base changes how light moves across the countertop. Small detail, real difference. Zinc frame — A denser, more solid structural frame compared to the standard Pro. You feel it when you lift the kettle. Metal cap on the handle — A machined metal finish at the end of the handle. Cool to the touch. Weighted. To-the-degree temperature control — Same as the Pro. Anywhere from 104°F to 212°F in 0.5°F increments, held to the degree while you pour. 1200W heating — Quick enough that you're not waiting. Heats a half-filled kettle to 200°F in under four minutes. Gooseneck pour spout — Same pour geometry as the Pro. Thin, controlled stream that holds steady through small wrist movements. Guide Mode, hold mode, scheduling — Preset temperatures, hold for 15 to 60 minutes, schedule to heat at a specific time. Full Pro feature set included. WiFi firmware updates — Connect to WiFi through the EKG Updater app. New features arrive over time without new hardware. Altitude adjustment — Tell the kettle what elevation you're at and it adjusts the boiling threshold accordingly. Full-color LCD display — High-resolution screen showing temperature, timer, and mode at a glance. How it works: How you actually use it. Fill with cold, filtered water. Set it on the glass base. Turn the dial to pick a temperature or cycle into Guide Mode or scheduling. Press the dial to confirm. The kettle heats and chimes at your set point. Lift the kettle off the base to pour. Set it back down when you're done, and the hold timer keeps the water at temperature for as long as you configured. Who it's for: Who the Studio Edition is for. The Studio Edition is for subscribers who already know they want the Stagg EKG Pro's feature set and want the materials to match. If the Pro is already on your list and you're deciding whether the upgrade is worth it, the answer comes down to how visible the kettle is in your kitchen and how much the object itself matters to you. The brewing is the same either way. Every spec Fellow publishes.
