Fellow Corvo EKG

Based on 43 comments across 2 communities
TL;DR
Owners love the Corvo EKG for its precise temperature control, fast and quiet boil, and good looks, and tea drinkers especially prefer its quicker pour over the slow Stagg gooseneck. But opinion is genuinely split on reliability: a real share of owners hit a glitchy temperature display and faulty bases that overshoot or re-boil, sometimes forcing returns or replacements that fail the same way. A plastic smell from the base and the steep price for the capacity also come up.

72% of 43 verified owners recommend the Fellow Corvo EKG.

It performed well when it was new but is now due for replacement after 2 years because the screen and temp sensor sometimes play up, some of the black coating has chipped off around the bottom, and its 304 stainless steel keeps redeveloping rust where the lid sits. It has 900ml capacity but you are better off using it at half capacity for better heat up time

But I bought one of these some time ago and – being the tea & coffee fiend that I am – have never once regretted it. If you're trying to save money and could use an electric kettle, this will treat you well.

I own a Fellow Corvo EKG and a Fellow Stagg EKG, as well as a few other fellow products. Fellow’s electronic products have notoriously poor quality control.

Fellow Corvo EKG fits only part of your wishes, it'll go from 96 then to 99.5, nothing in between. I have the Stagg but wish I had the corvo, because gooseneck pour too slow and I drink tea and aeropress and not pour over.

the kettle is a Fellow Corvo EKG (could hold more water, but pretty, silent and fine temp control)

I used a Fellow Corvo EKG kettle for 2 years now, which is generally well received in the tea world, however, I am not happy with it and will probably go back in time and replace it with a gas stovetop kettle. I purchased it for the precise temperature control and stainless steel water path. I opted for the non-gooseneck version for a stronger and faster po

I've had a Fellow Corvo EKG kettle for about eight months. It worked perfectly until recently, when it started to overshoot my temperature setting. After contacting Fellow and trying a few troubleshooting tips, a new kettle base is on the way. That's pretty amazing customer service!

I contacted the manufacturer and they gave me some suggestions for factory reset etc so it does seem to be a fault. The suggestions didn't work so I'm going to return it sadly.

This is the one I have, can adjust temperature to whatever you like and doesn’t beep

I got the Corvo, so the pour is nice and fast for tea, I've heard the Stagg is slow as molasses though! Well... Fellow has an issue with their kettles right now, the temp readings glitch - when you turn on the kettle it always shows the last highest reading, NOT the current/correct temperature, you gotta pick it up and put it back down to get the right readi

I'm a big fan of the Corvo EKG from Fellow.

whenever I heat the water to a certain temperate let's say 95C, pour it and turn off the kettle - the next time I use it it will ALWAYS say the previous temperature

I got a Stagg for coffee making but the Corvo is certainly just as good.

Pros for me are by-the-degree temperature adjustment, low temperature range (this was a must for me), high temperature accuracy, near perfect temperature holding, and aesthetics/ergonomics. Cons are high price, low volume, and I am currently having problems with a faulty base that I need to get warrantied. Apparently this is a common issue with Fellow's elec

now that it's firmly out of warranty I'm having issues with the temperature sensor (won't stop heating and the temperature reading gets stuck, so I have to watch it). I'm told by support it's probably a defective base.

I really needed an open lip style pot and the Corvo while expensive lets me pour quickly makes a good bit of water, and has a massive temp range to allow me to make anything I want.

The corvo is solid. I use it for everything, including aeropress. You can get a passable pour over with it too, though it's slightly harder.

Got a replacement but it still has the same sound so i guess it is by design :D

I recently bought a refurbished Fellow Corvo EKG electric kettle and am very happy with it. They're $132 plus shipping. They heat up really quickly and the temperature matches my ThermoWerks thermometer exactly.

I bought the Fellow Stagg EKG pouring kettle, got frustrated because it was too slow for normal kettle duties, like filling the robot basket, so I returned it for the Fellow Corvo instead. I am much happier now.

I use for gongfu cha brews that take an hour the kettle fellow corvo ekg with the best keep warm function at a specific temp. It works like a charm.

I've long since decided that it was absolutely money well spent. I love everything about the Corvo EKG and its aesthetic, function, and size.

I recently upgraded us from a basic kettle to the Fellow Corvo kettle. I purchased the version with the most features so I can change the water temp, control holding times, set a schedule so it boils automatically when I wake up. I love it so far.

Fellow EKG Corvo is the best kettle I've ever had. It's been 4-5 months since I got it and it's perfect for me.
