Not worth the money

- Doesn’t hold very much water (2 small coffee cups)
- takes a while to boil
- my stove top kettle is faster to boil

Over all I’m not really impressed. Especially for how expensive it is.

The kettle is very cool

The kettle is very cool looking. However, even when filled to the max line the kettle sputters and boils over.
I wrote customer care with my concern, was asked to send photos, serial and order numbers etc. which I did right away. It's now been one week since I wrote and have heard nothing back.

Almost perfect…
on June 21, 2023
Posted by: Parker A.
from US
For tea snobs… I mean connoisseurs… such as I aspire to become, the Corvo is the perfect engine to run that show. It definitely takes the guesswork out of temperature.
For future incarnations, with even more convenience to the user, I would suggest/request having a timer one can set that counts down and beeps, rather than the current stopwatch that silently counts up from “0:00.” It’s easy to forget about and go over the target brew time if one is multi-tasking. Consequently, I end up using the timer with alarm on my phone.

more plastic than expected
on January 15, 2025
Posted by: nateopotato
was a little disappointed in the quality of the product for how much it is—there is a lot more plastic than I’d like and sometimes it has an unpleasant plastic-y smell. otherwise great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful but improvable
on January 26, 2025
Posted by: Rosie22
This kettle is beautiful (no need to keep it in the cupboard like my other appliances) and the wooden handle is smooth and perfect. It pours without splashing or spilling. It heats quickly and is pretty easy to set the temperature with the knob. I do think the design of pressing the button for on, off, and timer is unnecessarily tricky and a separate timer would be more efficient. Also I bought it knowing it has a count up timer, instead of a way to let you know when the desired time is done… and it’s still not a super helpful feature. Maybe a count up works well for a pour over set up with the gooseneck kettle, but this one is for tea and French press, and a countdown timer (with a buzz or other indicator that it’s ready) would be much more user friendly. So yes it’s a fantastic heater and pourer of water and I love the look and feel, but the timer should be more helpful to be a selling point.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Corvo EKG Pro Studio: Great with some minor flaws
on February 19, 2025
Posted by: Justin1979
Overall, this is an excellent kettle. It heats water very quickly (faster than our older Corvo) and to an accurate temperature. It pours very well for an electric kettle as well. I use this primarily for tea and it is perfect for those purposes. I do wish it was a full 1.0 liter instead of 0.9 liters, but that is a minor complaint. I have the EKG Pro Studio edition, and the reason for taking off a star is because of the clock. While it's great to be able to set a timer to have water ready first thing in the morning, the clock does not hold an accurate time at all, so I have to reset the time on the clock every evening. This would be a relatively easy fix with better use of the WiFi and the app, which is why it's so disappointing that they haven't done anything about this. But overall I consider this a minor issue for what is otherwise an amazing product. As a bonus it also looks great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Okay for the price
on March 19, 2025
Posted by: 1pld
The real test is whether it breaks after a year or two like every other kettle I've owned both name-brand and not. For this price I expect it needs to survive until I die; and if it does then it gets an extra star. That said, I have some picky design issues:
The kettle is small, which wouldn't be as much of an issue if it were easier to refill (see below)
The lid is very snug. This makes it a bother to return water after warming your mugs. Also, when it finally pops open it will spray drops of near-100° condensate around.
After a couple weeks I'm still not used to its "hold" behavior: you must explicitly click to turn off the kettle. Other kettles turn off after you lift from the base. That's obviously a limitation of how other kettles are made, but I think it's also better UX. Maybe I'll get used to Fellow's way.
I'm near sea level, but it still pumps excessive heat into the water when holding at 100°, even after calibration. That's an issue because all kettles are noisy when they run at full heat (but also because it's a waste of energy). It's got a microcontroller and PID algorithms, so I expect it to be smart enough to detect the cliff when energy goes to boiling rather than heating. You can work around this issue by lying about your altitude.
I wish the scheduler would remember the last time you used instead of starting you from 12:00am every time.

Bad alarm
on April 8, 2025
Posted by: What alarm
I bought this model because it had an alarm when the water was warm. The alarm is so quiet that the only way you can hear it is if you're standing right next to it, it might as well not even be an alarm.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
