Know before you buy
The Kalita SSW is made from stainless steel, but it is primarily designed for gas or electric stovetops. We recommend checking your specific induction cooktop's manual to ensure it recognizes the base diameter, as some induction surfaces require a specific magnetic threshold.
The kettle has a total capacity of 1 liter. For the best pouring control and to prevent splashing, we recommend filling it to about 800ml or 900ml.
The handle is designed for an ergonomic grip, but because it is integrated into the stainless steel body, it can become warm if left on the stove for an extended period. It is best to use a heat-resistant cloth or handle cover if you are boiling water directly in the kettle.
Yes, the narrow gooseneck is specifically engineered to restrict flow, making it much easier to maintain a slow, steady stream. This level of control is essential for achieving an even extraction in pour-over brewing.
You can use it to heat water directly on the stove. However, many coffee enthusiasts prefer to boil water in a separate electric kettle and transfer it to the Kalita for better temperature control and pouring precision.
