Know before you buy
The Kalita Wave Pourover Kettle is primarily designed for gas or electric stovetops. You should check the base compatibility of your specific induction range, as some stainless steel models may not trigger the sensor.
The precision spout is engineered to provide a steady, laminar flow of water. This allows you to control the agitation of the coffee grounds more effectively, which is crucial for achieving an even extraction.
Because the handle is also made of stainless steel, it can conduct heat if left on the stove for an extended period. It is recommended to use a kitchen towel or heat-resistant mitt when pouring if the kettle has been heating for a while.
Yes, while it is optimized for the Kalita Wave, the precision spout makes it an excellent choice for any pour-over method, such as the Hario V60 or Chemex, where flow control is essential.
No, this kettle does not feature a built-in thermometer. You will need to use a separate digital thermometer to monitor your water temperature to ensure it stays within the ideal range for your specific coffee roast.
