Good to know
- The US Fellow price shown was a sale today. The usual list price is higher.
- Pour-over brewers may want Fellow's Stagg EKG Pro, which has a gooseneck spout for slow, controlled pouring.
- 0.9 L is enough for a pot of tea or a big French press, not for a crowd.
- Long-term owners report mixed reliability, with a few sensors failing after some years.

Why it's worth it
Most kettles have one setting: boiling. That's too hot for green tea and a bit harsh for a lot of coffee. The Corvo EKG Pro heats to the exact degree you pick, then holds it for up to an hour, so a second cup tastes like the first. It also looks calm and tidy on the counter, and it adds a few things you'll use daily, like a brew timer and a schedule for the morning.
The review
The Corvo is Fellow's wide-spout kettle, a sibling to the gooseneck Stagg. The Pro version adds a color screen on the base and a set of extras that make it feel more like a small appliance than a kettle.
What it does well
Temperature control is the reason to buy it. You set the exact degree, from warm to a full boil, and it gets there and stays there. Owners and reviewers consistently praise the accuracy, which matters for delicate teas and for keeping coffee from tasting burnt.
The hold mode, schedule, and brew stopwatch are small touches you end up using every day. The matte black finish is subtle and hides fingerprints better than polished steel.
Where it falls short
The spout pours fast and wide. That's ideal for filling a teapot or a French press, but it's the wrong tool for slow, careful pour-over. Capacity is 0.9 L, and the Wi-Fi only handles firmware updates, not app control.
Long-term reports are mixed. Many units run for years, but some owners have had the temperature sensor fail.
Bottom line
A lovely, precise kettle for tea people and press-pot coffee drinkers. If pour-over is your thing, look at the gooseneck Stagg instead.
