I bought the 2026 Stone and Walnut Fellow Stagg EKG Pro from the US to save money

May 12, 2026

Why I chose the Stone and Walnut Edition

I have been eyeing the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro for a while, but the 2026 Stone & Walnut Edition is something else. This specific aesthetic is currently a US exclusive. While I could wait for it to eventually reach specialty shops in the Netherlands, the price hike would be significant. I decided to source it directly from the States because the design fits my kitchen perfectly and the 2026 updates to the firmware make the pour-over experience much smoother.

The Stone & Walnut finish uses a textured ceramic coating that I find much more durable than the standard matte black. My previous kettle started showing scuffs within months, but this new edition feels premium and rugged. We often see these limited colors stay exclusive to the North American market for years, and I was not willing to wait that long.

How I bought it from a US store

I realized quickly that most US retailers do not offer direct shipping to the Netherlands at a reasonable price, or they do not ship internationally at all. To solve this, I used a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. It allowed me to shop us store sites like Fellow's official website as if I were living in America.

The process was simple. I signed up for a tax-free us address which helped me avoid US sales tax at checkout. Once the kettle arrived at the warehouse, I was notified and could manage the rest of the journey from my phone. I prefer this parcel forwarding service because I do not have to deal with the seller trying to calculate international rates themselves.

Shipping estimates for the Fellow Stagg

When I was planning this purchase, I needed to know if the shipping costs would eat up my savings. I used a shipping calculator to get a rough idea before I hit the buy button. Here are the logistics details I used for my 2026 Fellow Stagg EKG Pro:

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg)
Box Dimensions Medium (Approx. 12 x 12 x 8 inches)
Volumetric Warning Low. This item is dense enough that you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than size.
Battery Check No lithium batteries. It is a standard corded appliance.

I always recommend that you estimate shipping cost early so there are no surprises. You might also like to check our guide on restricted goods to ensure your specific kitchen accessories are allowed, though standard kettles are perfectly fine. One thing I kept in mind was that the US version runs on 120V, so I bought a high-quality transformer for use here in the Netherlands.

The lazy method for Dutch customs

The main reason I use a package forwarding company is to avoid the paperwork. I do not want to spend my afternoon figuring out HS codes or dealing with the PostNL customs portal more than I have to. When I forward packages through a professional service, they handle the export documentation for me.

I found the FAQ section on the provider's site answered all my questions about how they handle the declaration. By letting them manage the transit, I just had to pay the Dutch VAT and a small admin fee when it arrived. It is the most direct way to get US goods without becoming a logistics expert. If you ever get stuck, their support team is usually quite fast at clarifying the status of your shipment.

Final verdict on my new setup

My kitchen setup is finally complete with the Stone & Walnut kettle. Even after paying for shipping and the transformer, I spent less than I would have at a high-end boutique in Amsterdam for a lesser model. Using a parcel forwarding service made the whole experience feel like a local purchase. If you want the latest 2026 coffee gear without the local markup, I suggest looking at the US market and letting a specialist handle the heavy lifting.
