Absolute eye candy and it boils water to boot!

I've had my kettle for three months and I'm delighted with it. It's one of the prettiest things in my house and it works beautifully. I love the ability to set a lower boil temperature for coffee brewing, and I love that it can hold the temperature as well. I'm applying mineral oil to the wooden parts once a month to keep them in good shape. Very happy with the purchase.
The kettle itself is lovely in look and feel, easy to set up via the dial, follows the schedule as expected, etc. The amount of water is perfect. If I ever need more quickly, it's not a problem because Corvo heats the water really fast. I quite enjoy the visual design: it doesn't demand attention but it sure is pleasant to look at and operate. I'd buy it again. A few inconveniences I encountered: 1. The nob on the lid is a bit loose. The nob twisting is not helpful because the lid itself goes on tight so opening the lid would be easier if the nob didn't move at all. 2. I wish the existing Fellow apps were combined into one - it's confusing when each WiFi-capable product has its own app.
This is a beautiful hot water kettle. The color (sesame) is very soft and blends so well with my kitchen. It boils a full pot of water in 3.5 minutes at 7, 200 feet altitude. It pours very easily with no dripping, perfectly balanced in the hand, and is a very well-constructed pot that I imagine will last for years. I am very happy with it!
Could be a little better, but so far it's great for tea!!

Things I liked:
1) I love the variety of options, especially the 'hold' feature and the ability to select a specific temperature. I started using it today to brew some hojicha tea. I brewed several sachets in the past just by guessing the water temperature...however when I tried it this time with the corvo kettle, it had a much fuller and richer flavor, and was so much less time consuming!!
2) I also like the pre-boil feature. It's nice to have that extra water sanitization for teas that need not-quite-boiling water.
3) I was really surprised at how small the kettle is!! For me it's PERFECT since typically I only heat enough water for 1 satchet.
Things I didn't like:
1) What I'm not too thrilled about is that the controls and instructions aren't very intuitive. I turned it on to explore the menu options and didn't realize for a few minutes that doing so automatically set the empty kettle to boil, which I later discovered could've damaged it. So I'm starting this journey always wondering if I'm using a damaged kettle.
2) I'm also a little confused about the altitude calibration. I'm at 149m elevation, which the manual says water boils at 100'C but the device set itself to 99'C as the maximum.
3) I kind of would've liked some guide marks, either inside or outside, so I fill the kettle directly, instead of filling a liquid measuring cup, THEN filling the kettle.
4) The wood handles don't really go well with my kitchen decor, and I was ready to go with the Studio Edition, but that just came in solid black which seemed like a toxic color for a detoxifying beverage like tea, so more colors would've been nice.
5) It also would've been nice if a small amount of mineral oil were included--since you put a note on the device advising that we use it. I imagine most customers want to start using the kettle out of the box, not fish around for unexpected accessories.
6) Lastly, It would've been nice to have a countdown timer instead of a stopwatch (or a toggle in the settings)
After the first use, I'm happy overall with this kettle. We'll see in a few years though. These kettles don't have a great reputation for endurance. But for now I'm happy.
