Know before you buy
Yes, the Kalita Wave Pot is designed for use on stovetops. However, it is not induction-compatible, so it is best suited for gas or electric ranges.
The gooseneck design, combined with the pinched lip, allows for a slow, steady, and precise stream of water. This level of control is essential for saturating coffee grounds evenly, which leads to a more balanced and consistent extraction.
Yes, the handle is made from heat-protective wood, which stays cool to the touch during normal stovetop use. It is designed to be durable, but it can also be easily removed if you prefer to clean the stainless steel body in the dishwasher.
The kettle has a total capacity of 1 liter. For the best pouring control and to avoid splashing, we recommend filling it slightly below the maximum capacity.
No, this model does not feature an integrated thermometer. You will need to use a separate digital or analog thermometer if you need to track specific water temperatures for your brew.
