Know before you buy
While the kettle is designed for general stovetop use, compatibility depends on your specific induction cooktop's ability to detect the base diameter. It is primarily intended for gas and electric ranges, so we recommend checking your induction hob's minimum pot size requirements.
The total capacity is 1.2 liters, but the practical capacity for safe and effective brewing is 800 milliliters. This ensures you have enough space to prevent splashing or boiling over while maintaining control during your pour.
No, the Hario Buono is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and the integrity of the phenolic handle, we recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and water.
The slim, curved gooseneck spout allows you to control the speed and placement of the water flow with high precision. This is essential for saturating coffee grounds evenly, which helps achieve a balanced and consistent extraction.
The handle is crafted from phenolic resin, a heat-resistant material designed to stay cool to the touch during normal stovetop use. However, you should always ensure the flame or heat source is not directly touching the handle.
