Review on ☕️ Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Kettle: The Perfect Pour Over Coffee and Tea Pot by Gregory Castellanos

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Minimalist aesthetics, impeccable functionality; Worth the money

I spent months trying to find the perfect kettle when I finally came across the Corvo. I was sure it would be easy to find the perfect solution for less than $50. However, virtually all options in this price range were aesthetically unattractive or non-functional. The few I found that seemed almost acceptable often complained of poor quality of materials and workmanship. So I settled on a price I thought was way higher than I ever thought it was worth paying and that's how I came across the Corvo EKG. I spent about another month reviewing Fellow, their other products, and customer reviews. I felt comfortable saving that much money on a kettle; I decided a long time ago that money was well spent. I love everything about the Corvo EKG: looks, functionality and size. I think it looks perfect. The minimalist design is pleasantly linear. It catches the eye but doesn't require attention to the detriment of its surroundings. With its minimalist form, the Corvo ECG is packed with features as it controls all (virtual) designs with a single button. With the exception of HOLD mode and the rear Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle switches, the front button/dial controls everything with amazing ease. Press to turn on/off, press to set desired temperature and hold to start countdown to built-in brew timer. The HOLD function is great when I want to make a cup of tea but might want another; or when I get distracted and forget I put the kettle on 30 minutes ago, but I go back and it steadfastly maintains that ideal temperature for me to finally enjoy a cup of tea. On those rare occasions when I completely forgot the kettle was on, the auto shut-off feature reduces the consequences of my mistakes to a minimum of wasted electricity and water, rather than damaging the kettle and possibly causing a house fire. Corvo ECG size and water capacity; However, given the speed at which it can reach the desired temperature, this small kettle is more than enough to meet one person's needs. I use mine here and there for a cup of tea, sometimes to make a small pot and make ramen in my room/office. If I could change anything on the Corvo ECG, I would turn on the Fahrenheit/Celsius HOLD mode switches. into a single front button in the form of unique button press sequences (e.g. two quick presses toggles HOLD on/off; three presses and turning the dial toggles temperature scales). The only concern I had about purchasing the Corvo was after reading about the difficulties people were having when ordering through Revain. Judging by the reviews, people got an inordinate amount of DOA teapots. I felt like I was rolling the dice by ordering through Revain, but mine arrived on time and in perfect condition.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • So far so good
