Who the Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Variable Temperature Gooseneck Kettle is for

Buy it if: Pour-over coffee and loose-leaf tea drinkers who want brewing temperature exactly right.

Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a general household kettle -- 0.9 litres and a slow gooseneck pour is not that.

Who the AGARO Imperial 19 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker with Milk Frother is for

Buy it if: Anyone learning espresso on 230 V mains who will buy a separate burr grinder.

Avoid it if: Anyone expecting an all-in-one -- there is no grinder, and pre-ground coffee will disappoint.
