Know before you buy
The signature long, narrow spout is engineered to provide a slow, steady, and precise water flow. This level of control is essential for saturating coffee grounds evenly, which helps extract the full flavor profile of your beans.
While the kettle is made of durable enamel-coated steel, compatibility depends on your specific induction cooktop's requirements for base size and material. We recommend checking your stove's manual to ensure it can detect a vessel with a 4.3-inch base diameter.
Yes, the enamel finish is non-porous and resistant to odors and stains. Because it is dishwasher safe, cleaning is straightforward, though hand washing is often recommended to preserve the exterior finish over time.
The handle is designed for balance and comfort, but as with most metal kettles, it can become warm when used on a stovetop. Depending on your heat source and duration of boiling, you may want to keep a kitchen towel or mitt nearby.
The 1.2L capacity refers to the total volume of the vessel. For safe boiling and to prevent splashing, we recommend filling it slightly below the maximum capacity.
