Know before you buy
No, this kettle is designed specifically for pouring and is not intended to be used as a heating vessel on any stovetop, including induction.
The precision spout is engineered to give you complete control over the flow rate and placement of your water. This is essential for the '4:6 Method' and other pour-over techniques that require consistent, steady extraction.
No, the Hario Kasuya Drip Kettle is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the matte black finish.
This kettle is best suited for single-serve brewing. While it holds 500ml, it is optimized for the precision required for one or two cups rather than large-batch brewing.
The handle is designed for comfort and ergonomics, but because it is made of stainless steel, it can conduct heat if the kettle is filled with boiling water. We recommend handling it with care or using a towel if the kettle has been sitting on a heat source.
