Ok, this thing is really great. The Corvo kettle is very easy to use, has precise temperature controls, and looks classy on my countertop. I saw their other product (pour over kettle) in MoMA and loved it... I drink tea more than I do pour over coffee, so this was better for me.
Pros
1) Precise temperature control and a temp hold function - different teas steep at different temps, this kettle lets me dial in the precise temperature I want and will hold it there (for 60 min) in case I walk away.
2) Comfort- there’s some weight or counterbalance in the handle, so even when it’s full it is easy to control the pour. It’s also made of a nonconductive material, so the handle doesn’t get hot.
3) Design- this just looks cool and I don’t mind having it on the counter. I get comments on it all the time.
4) Speed - it heats the water very fast
Cons
1) No markings on interior - there’s a max fill line, but no graduated markings. I have to eyeball it to get 1 cup vs 2 cups. Not a problem, just something I noticed.
2) Can’t use on a stovetop - this is meant to only be used with the EKG base. This isn’t a problem because it looks good out on the countertop and because the base works so well.
3) No audio notifications - it doesn’t ding when it’s at temp. So you have to watch it.
Overall, great product that looks good and works well.

Lightening fast kettle with exact variable temperature control!

- Aesthetics: the overall design and the matte black finish is very sleek on the counter top. I do not like the visual look of bulky, plastic electric tea kettles. The traditional white plastic is garish and really jumps out on the counter top. The Corvo EKG Electric Kettle matches our counter tops (and even the toaster oven that it is adjacent to) quite nicely. As you can see from the photo, it actually blends in and has a very small footprint occupying very little real estate on the counter top. For size, you can see a meal kit 8.5" x 11" recipe card next to the kettle.
- Speed: the kettle heats up insanely quickly - less than 2 minutes from room temp to boiling for my tea!
- Variable temperature control: I primarily drink mint tea and the small booklet told me the exact temperature that I should heat water for this kind of tea. Who knows what temperature I was getting from my previous microwave approach! I suppose if I were to branch out to other kinds of tea, I now know the right temperature for those types. Also, it looks like they have a recommended temperature for brewing coffee. So, if you're a pour over kinda guy or gal, this electric kettle would work really nicely for brewing coffee and you wouldn't need two different electric kettles or pieces of brewing equipment.
- The timer is built in so you don't have to set a separate timer on your microwave or Google Home (does anyone else's Google Home not pay attention to them when they call out a timer?!).
Finally, I've also recently found a secondary use for our Corvo EKG electric kettle. I've replaced this with our (white plastic, garish) milk bottle warmer that we use for breast milk for our baby. It wasn't the primary reason for purchasing this, but when I unpacked it, I realized I only needed one of them on my counter. Now I can heat up water at the exact temperature that is recommended for heating breast milk so as not to reduce any of the nutritional elements of the milk (if you heat milk up too hot, it's not good for the composition of the nutrients). And, with the "HOLD" feature (basically, you switch a little button on the back of the base to "hold" at your preferred temp for 60 minutes), I can hold the heated water at the right temperature so if the baby wants more milk, I already have the hot water ready to go. Heated water from the electric kettle heats breast milk WAY faster than the traditional single-function bottle warmer. The Corvo EKG electric kettle is a no brainer if you brew coffee and/or tea, and if you happen to be heating baby bottles as well, you can use this in place of another kitchen gadget. Win win!

Minimalist Aesthetic, Flawless Functionality; Well Worth the Money

I spent another month or so checking out the company Fellow, their other products, and customer reviews before I felt comfortable to budget so much money toward an electric kettle; I've long since decided that it was absolutely money well spent.
I love everything about the Corvo EKG: its aesthetic, function, and size.
Aesthetically, it is perfect in my opinion. The minimalist design is pleasingly streamlined. It catches the eye but doesn't scream for attention to the detriment of its surroundings.
For its minimalist form, the Corvo EKG is packed full of function considering its one button to rule them all (practically) design. With the exception of the HOLD mode and Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle switches on the back, the front button/dial controls everything with remarkable ease. Press to turn on/off twist to set desired temperature, and press and hold to start a countdown for the built in brewing timer to begin. The HOLD function is great for when I'm wanting to make a single cup of tea but might want another; or, for when I get sidetracked by something and forgot I put the kettle on 30 minutes ago, but I come back to it and it's steadfastly guarded that ideal temperature for me to finally be able to enjoy a cuppa. On the rare occasion that I've completely forgotten the kettle was on, the automatic shutoff feature limits the consequences of my fauxpas to a minimal amount of wasted electricity and water as opposed to a destroyed kettle and possible house fire.
Some may scoff at the size and water capacity of the Corvo EKG; however, considering the speed at which it can attain a desired temperature, this little kettle is more than enough to stand up to the demands of an individual. I use mine for a single cuppa here and there, occasionally to brew a small teapot's worth, and cooking cup ramen in my room/office.
If I could change anything about the Corvo EKG, it would be to incorporate HOLD mode Fahrenheit/Celsius toggles into the single front button in the form of unique button press sequences (ex. Two quick presses toggle HOLD on/off; three presses and a turn of the dial will switch temperature scales)
The only concern I had when purchasing the Corvo was after reading about the difficulty people were having when ordering via Amazon. From the reviews, it seemed as though people were receiving an inordinate amount of DOA kettles. I felt I was rolling the dice ordering through Amazon, but mine came on time and in perfect working order.
