The 2026 Studio Glass edition vs regular kettles

The coffee community is currently buzzing about the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro (2026 'Studio Glass' Edition). If you have seen the photos, you know why. Unlike the matte black or walnut versions we are used to, this limited run features a translucent glass-reinforced base and a refined interface that looks more like a piece of art than a kitchen appliance. It is one of those popular products that usually stays exclusive to North American boutiques for the first year.

For those of us in Italy, the appeal is obvious. We take coffee seriously, and having a precision pour-over kettle that also looks this good on a marble countertop is the dream. However, because it is a limited 2026 release, finding it in Milan or Rome is nearly impossible right now. This is where looking at us trends pays off, as US retailers currently have the exclusive stock of this specific 'Studio Glass' variant.

US specialty retailers vs Italian local availability

Buying from a shop us store is the only way to secure this model before it sells out. If you have ever tried to order high-end tech from overseas, you know the paperwork can be a headache. The 'lazy method' here is to use a freight forwarder like comGateway. They provide you with a tax-free us address in Oregon, which means you do not pay US sales tax on the initial purchase, saving you about 7-10% immediately.

Using a forwarder allows you to browse sites like Fellow's official US store or specialized coffee gear sites that do not offer direct shipping to Europe. It is often the difference between getting the 2026 edition now or waiting until 2027 for a local distributor to maybe carry it.

Shipping estimates and box dimensions

Before you hit the buy button, it is smart to check the international shipping rates to see how much it adds to your total. Here is a quick breakdown of what to expect for the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro (2026 'Studio Glass' Edition) when shipping it to Italy:

Box WeightApprox. 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg) including protective packaging.
Box DimensionsMedium (Approx. 12" x 8" x 8" / 30cm x 20cm x 20cm).
Volumetric WarningThis kettle is relatively compact. Volumetric weight shouldn't exceed the actual weight, but it's always good to check.
Battery CheckThis item contains no lithium batteries. It is powered via a standard wall plug (Note: You will need a simple voltage adapter or a US-to-EU plug converter for Italian outlets).

You can use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote based on your specific city in Italy. Generally, international shipping for a package of this size is quite reasonable if you choose the right carrier through the portal.

BuyForMe vs doing it yourself

A common hurdle when shopping from Italy is that many premium US retailers are quite picky. Some stores will automatically decline your order if they see an international credit card or a shipping address that belongs to a warehouse. This is where the BuyForMe vs manual checkout debate comes in.

The "BuyForMe" service is a total lifesaver for the lazy shopper. Instead of you trying to convince a US store to accept your Italian Visa or Mastercard, you just tell comGateway what you want. They use a US-based card and a domestic billing address to buy the kettle on your behalf. It is the safest way to ensure your limited-edition glass kettle order doesn't get cancelled at 3:00 AM because of a payment 'red flag'. Plus, they handle the communication with the store if anything goes wrong with the domestic delivery.

Importing to Italy without the stress

Once your kettle arrives at the US warehouse, you can select your preferred shipping fees and speed. For Italy, you should be aware of import duties and GST/VAT. Since the Stagg EKG Pro is a premium item, it will likely be subject to standard Italian customs clearance. You can check our guide on import tax to understand how these fees are calculated for electronics coming into the EU.

To keep things simple, comGateway often allows you to manage the declaration process easily through their dashboard, so you aren't stuck dealing with confusing Italian customs forms in Italian legalese. It is the most straightforward path from a US warehouse to your kitchen in Italy.
