What customers say
Reviewers overwhelmingly celebrate the Kalita Cu kettle for its exquisite craftsmanship and stunning copper design, noting it elevates the daily coffee ritual.

Know before you buy
No, this kettle is designed for open flame use only. It is not compatible with induction cooktops.
Copper is an excellent conductor of heat, which helps maintain a consistent water temperature during your pour. Over time, the exterior will develop a unique patina, giving the kettle a distinct, aged aesthetic that reflects your personal use.
The 600 ml capacity is ideal for brewing one to two cups of coffee at a time. It is specifically designed for precision pour-over methods rather than large-batch brewing.
The fine nozzle is engineered for high-control pouring, allowing you to manage the flow rate and placement of water with great accuracy. This is essential for achieving an even extraction when using pour-over drippers.
Because the kettle is made entirely of copper, the handle can become hot when placed over an open flame. We recommend using a kitchen towel or heat-resistant glove when handling the kettle after it has been on the heat source.
