I switched to the Corvo after my Stagg broke. I was quite disappointed by the pour quality of the Corvo, though.

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)

This kettle has 3 fatal flaws.

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

Boiling 0.9L of water in about under 5 min(which means 4,5min..) is painfully slow.. should be max 1 min at that price..

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 really love my Corvo

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

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

I just received the Corvo EKG Pro Studio Edition which claims to have a walnut wood handle but the handle is just cheap plastic made to look like wood, unlike the round knob on the lid which is wood. I feel like ive been ripped off :(

LOVE the quality of Fellow products.

Reddit— neutral

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

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

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

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.

I literally just ordered it and sent it back because it wasn’t as advertised.

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

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.

It happened to me that when I was pouring water that the lid opened a bit.

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.

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.

Redditⓘ good to know

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