In this episode, I dive into something I've been thinking about a lot lately: does nice coffee gear actually matter? I share my recent experience with upgrading my equipment, specifically talking about the Fellow Stagg Pro kettle and what it's taught me about the relationship between premium gear and the brewing experience. I explore the honest truth that while expensive equipment might not technically make your coffee taste better, there's something psychological and experiential that happens when you use well-designed tools. I discuss the features that set the Fellow kettle apart from my previous Bonavita kettle, from the legendary spout design to the intuitive temperature control dial, and why these seemingly small improvements have transformed my daily brewing ritual.

By listening to this episode, you'll learn how to evaluate whether premium coffee equipment is worth the investment for your specific situation, and you'll gain insight into which features actually matter versus which are just marketing hype. I share practical considerations about when to upgrade your gear and when your current setup is perfectly adequate, helping you make smarter purchasing decisions in the world of specialty coffee equipment. Whether you're considering your first quality kettle or wondering if that expensive upgrade is justified, this episode will give you the framework to think through these decisions.
