Fellow started in 2013 with a vision of bringing the café experience home, but without the clunky equipment. They wanted their home brewing gear to be beautifully functional and fully intuitive, tools that anyone could use to make the kind of coffee we love to drink.
Over the years, they’ve worked to complete your coffee counter by building tools for the brew methods you use most. Fellow stayed true to their roots, designing each new product as a complete reimagination and taking as long as it takes to get it right. In 2014, the brand created the iconic Fellow Stagg Pour-Over Kettle and, two years later, launched the Stagg EKG, which has become the gold standard of electric pour-over kettles, used by champion baristas and home brewers alike.
At Chef’s Complements, we’re an authorised NZ stockist of Fellow coffee gear, from the Stagg kettles through to grinders, brewers, and coffee storage. If you’re after Fellow products you can trust, backed by local warranty support, you’re in the right place.
The Fellow Range at Chef’s Complements
Fellow coffee and kitchenware covers a lot more ground than most people realise when they first come across the brand. Below is a breakdown of what we stock, and where each piece fits on your counter.
Fellow Stagg Kettles
The Fellow Stagg range is where it all began, and it’s still the heart of the brand. The original Stagg Pour-Over Kettle launched in 2014 with a precision spout designed for slow, controlled pouring, exactly what pour-over brewing needs.
Two years later came the Stagg EKG, the electric version that’s since become the benchmark for Fellow kettles in NZ. It heats water to anywhere between 40°C and 100°C, with the exact temperature shown on a small LCD screen as it heats. Flick the HOLD toggle on the base, and it’ll maintain that temperature for a full hour, handy if you’re brewing multiple cups or teaching someone else the ropes.
It also has a built-in brew stopwatch, so you can time your extraction the moment the water’s ready. If you’ve ever eyeballed a pour-over and ended up with something either weak or bitter, this is the Fellow kettle that takes the guesswork out of it.
Fellow Coffee Brewing Gear
Beyond the kettle, Fellow coffee gear extends into the rest of your brew setup. Depending on what’s in stock, this includes pour-over drippers, brewers, and airtight coffee canisters designed to keep beans fresher for longer.
Every piece follows the same design brief as the Stagg: intuitive enough for a beginner, precise enough for someone chasing competition-level extraction. That’s the thread running through the whole range.
Fellow Espresso Machines
The newest addition to the Fellow lineup is the Espresso Series 1, the brand’s first-ever espresso machine. It brings Fellow’s design philosophy to the group head: a 58mm bottomless portafilter, steam wand, and Fellow’s own Boosted Boiler heating system paired with a digital PID controller for precise temperature control.
Pressure, flow, and pre-infusion are all adjustable via the display or companion app, so it suits complete beginners and dialled-in enthusiasts alike.
Fellow Kitchenware & Accessories
Rounding out the range are the accessories and everyday drinkware, things like travel mugs, carafes, and smaller brewing tools that make your daily coffee routine that little bit easier. If you’re building out a full Fellow kitchenware setup, you’ll find the finishing pieces here.
Why Choose Fellow?
Fellow has built a strong following among both professional baristas and home brewers, and it’s not by accident. Here’s what sets the brand apart:
- Designed by coffee obsessives, for coffee obsessives. Founded in 2013 with one goal: to bring café-quality brewing home without the clunky, over-complicated equipment.
- The gold standard in pour-over. The Stagg EKG is used by champion baristas and home brewers alike, and for good reason.
- Precision over guesswork. Variable temperature control, a built-in brew stopwatch, and a precision pour spout mean less guessing and more consistently good coffee.
- Built for the counter, not the cupboard. Fellow’s minimalist design means their gear looks as good sitting out on your benchtop as it performs.
- Considered, not rushed. Fellow takes as long as it takes to get their products right; each product earns its place in the range.

FAQs
Is Chef’s Complements an authorised Fellow stockist in NZ?
Yes! We’re an authorised Fellow stockist, so every product comes with full manufacturer warranty support backed locally. That matters with a brand this popular, as unauthorised listings won’t carry the same cover if something goes wrong. You can find our complete authorised range in our Taupō store or online.
What does Fellow make besides kettles?
While the Fellow kettle in NZ is the best-known part of the range, Fellow also makes drippers, an automatic coffee maker, coffee storage canisters, and drinkware. If you’re after Fellow products beyond the kettle, there’s a fair bit more to explore, or explore our other stocked brands if you’re comparing options.
Is Fellow gear good for coffee beginners, or only serious enthusiasts?
Both. Fellow was founded on the idea that brewing gear should be intuitive enough for anyone to use, not just baristas. The Stagg EKG’s guided temperature settings make it especially forgiving if you’re new to pour-over, while the precision on offer still satisfies more experienced brewers.
How do I look after my Fellow gear so it lasts?
It depends on the piece. Anything with electrical components, like the Stagg EKG’s base, should never be submerged in water, and some accessories are hand-wash only to protect their finish. Others are dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing is still recommended to keep them looking their best for longer.
Do Fellow products make good gifts?
Fellow coffee and kitchenware make a standout gift for anyone who takes their coffee seriously. Whether it’s for a wedding, a housewarming, or a Christmas gift, we have the perfect piece in our range.
Does Chef’s Complements ship Fellow products nationwide in New Zealand?
Yes. We deliver our range throughout New Zealand and to the Chatham Islands. Orders are sent via New Zealand Couriers, with delivery generally taking up to 7 working days. Free shipping is available on orders over $150 for registered members.
