I bought this to keep upstairs so I could make tea while working remotely or before bed. It has all of the features I wanted; great design, well-made, ability to select the correct temp for different teas. So glad I chose the Corvo EKG and I expect it to last a good long time.
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.
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!
The best kettle I have ever owned.... also the most expensive kettle I have ever owned. My mother in law visited for the holidays and liked it so much we got a second one for her!
