An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I have a Stagg EKG Pro Studio. It heats up quickly, you can set it to whatever temp you want, it feels good in the hand and well balanced. I don't really have any complaints about it so far. The only problem I've run into was a result of user error - if you fill it up all the way you have to be careful when pouring so water doesn't come out of the vent in the lid. The only real drawback is the cost. It was stupid expensive.
How long has it lasted? And would you say it's worth the money?
It is only helpful for pour over coffee. I have one, I love it.
But 99% of people are not big coffee people and have no need for it and a 20€ Phillips heats up just as fast, has the main 70/80/90/100 degree settings, and is fine for tea, cups of soup, etc...
It is a waste of money if you are not a pour over coffee person or really high end teas.
I've had mine for the past 4 years and it's still rock solid. The temperature hold (especially for non-boiling temps) is super helpful for pour over coffee - the main reason I have it.
But coffee isn't the only use case, I've also started using it for cup o' ramen and equivalent products (it's more convenient than emptying our microwave and nuking water).
Excellent thanks
I've only owned it for about a year now, although I do use it at least once a day and often several times. I'm not sure if I would say it is worth the money, I don't regret buying it and enjoy using it, but it's also very expensive. Justifying the stupid price to myself wasn't very hard since I use a kettle daily and money isn't tight. You can get a kettle that functions identically but perhaps isn't quite as nice in the hand and save yourself some cash if your priority is cost-efficiency.
Yep good point cost per use is almost nothing
