Know before you buy
Yes, the Hario Stainless Steel Drip Kettle is fully compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas and electric stovetops.
No, this kettle does not feature a whistle. It is designed specifically for precision pour-over brewing, so you will need to monitor the water temperature manually.
No, this kettle is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and integrity of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and a soft cloth.
The precision pour spout is engineered with a narrow, curved neck that allows for a slow, steady, and highly controlled stream of water, which is essential for saturating coffee grounds evenly during the pour-over process.
The kettle features a heat-resistant, cool-touch handle and lid knob, allowing you to handle the vessel safely after heating without the need for a towel or oven mitt.
The kettle has a total capacity of 1.2 litres. For the best pouring experience and to prevent splashing, we recommend filling it slightly below the maximum capacity.
