Fino Pour Over Coffee Kettle, 18/8 Stainless Steel, 6-Cup, 1.2L Capacity

(See UPDATE below). This is well designed and works well. Made in Japan of obvious Japanese quality, well built of stainless steel, which though not heavy, presumably will be durable (see update below). It does the pour over perfectly. The handle is comfortable and does not get hot (the plastic knob on the lid gets a bit hot but you don't need to touch it). There is no plastic inside the kettle for water to contact (the plastic knob on the lid screws on). You can easily see steam coming out of the three little holes in the lid when the water reaches a boil. "Made in Japan" is printed on both the box and the kettle. The top comes loose when pouring, but this is not a problem--it will not come off unless you turn the kettle completely upside down, which is unnecessary to completely empty the kettle when doing a pour over. Meaning you can do the pour over without worrying about the lid coming off. Plus the thing is cute! It's a ridiculous (and cute) sight sitting on the stove. It's just what I wanted in terms of quality and function, and I can't see anything wrong with it.UPDATE: This is now 7 years later and I've been using this daily to boil water for pour over coffee all that time. It still works perfectly. No rust, no nuthin'. The one useful thing I did after buying it was to buy a lid with thermometer so I can see the water temperature to judge it just right for brewing coffee (just short of boiling, maybe 205 degrees). The lid also has worked fine all these years. It fits this kettle perfectly, although if the kettle is tipped too far when pouring, the lid will fall out. But I've found it's not necessary to tip it over that far even when pouring for a large mug. linkhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GBR3SZO?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_asin_image. Both kettle and lid were good purchases, and I would buy again if ever needed (assuming it's still made in Japan).

Did an extensive review of glass and stainless pour over kettles to use with the Chemex my son got me for my birthday (James Bond has great taste!) Decided to give this a try as although the glass kettles look beautiful, knowing me before I have my coffee in the morning, I was pretty sure the glass pot would end up in pieces in my sink. I definitely wanted to give this Japanese made kettle by Premium Japan (one of my criteria being not to have another China-made product in my home) a thumbs up. I have used a French press and Aeropress (and will continue to use the Aeropress if in a hurry but the French press may be in my garage sale at the end of the month). The Chemex by far offers the best cup. I had been using the "measuring cup in the microwave" technique for pour overs...it worked, but not like the precision of the Fino. Apparently the controlled pour really does affect the brewing process...and I'm not a coffee snob by any means. This kettle with its narrow spout allows for a great controlled pour, is attractive, very well made, and although on the small side, definitely large enough for a couple of good sized cups of coffee. While it is true it does not whistle, I am right near it anyway preparing the filter and coffee for the pour over, so I did not find that to be a problem personally. The kettle arrived in two days (as always with Prime). Although the pot does get very hot to touch, of course, by the time you are done with your cup of coffee, it has cooled enough to run a towel through it to wipe up any leftover moisture should you be concerned about rust occurring. So, bottom line, I would definitely recommend this kettle by Premium Japan due to its quality, performance, attractiveness, and definitely price in comparison to similar products. Enjoy!!08/03/14: Just measured the amount of water the kettle I received from this product description which lists capacity at 6 cups. When measuring about 1 1/2 inches down from the brim (filling fuller may cause water to spurt out possibly when heating it would seem), I measured 20 oz -- so about two 10 oz cups. Keep this in mind if you are needing a kettle to serve more than 2 people at a time, unless you use very small cups. For one or two people, it should be fine. Heats quickly. I use it on medium high heat on a gas stove. Quite happy with it!

This kettle goes on the stove, does not need to be plugged in or batteries, and has no plastic parts in contact with the drink. The precise spout makes it easy to pour. It is a very mindful kettle. It is a joy to use. The supplier also seems super-nice and polite. I have bought others for my family members.

とてもコンパクトで使いやすいです！

コーヒー入れるのに購入しました。扱い安くとても良いです

El metal es delgado, lo que permite hervir muy rápidamente. No se deforma el fondo, sigue completamente plana después de varios meses de uso diario. Hay que cuidar de no llenarla demasiado para que la tapa no se salga de su lugar.Tiene un acabado espejo que es delicado si no se seca siempre después de lavar.Permite un chorro suave y constante. Yo la uso para Aeropress y para preparar tazones de avena.Viene con una simpática hoja de instrucciones en japonés curiosamente ilustrada (kawaii).

mittlerweile trinken wir zu Hause fast ausschließlich handaufgebrühten Kaffee, außerhalb schmeckt der uns nicht mehr. Für ein optimales Aroma kommt es auf die richtige Technik beim Aufgießen an, damit das Pulver vom Wasser gleichmäßig aufgenommen und bei möglichst konstanter Temperatur sein volles Aroma entfalten kann.Mit diesem Kessel ist das ein Kinderspiel. Durch die lange, schlanke Tülle ("Schwanenhals") erreicht man einen dünnen und gezielten Wasserstrahl, der es ermöglicht, durchgehend Wasser nachzugießen, ohne dass der Wasserspiegel schwankt. Es ist ein Genuß zuzusehen, wie dabei der Kaffee aufschäumt. Mit wenig Übung gelingt auch ein musterhaftes Blooming, die Vorbereitungs-Phase, in der das Pulver erstmal angefeuchtet wird, um sich für den eigentlichen Brühvorgang zu "öffnen".Die Verarbeitung gefällt mir sehr gut. Alle Kanten sind abgerundet. Der Kunststoffgriff sitzt gut in der Hand. Optisch macht der Kessel, wie abgebildet, einen zeitlos schönen Eindruck. Der Boden ist nicht dickwandig – wer Panzerstahl erwartet, wird enttäuscht sein – trotz der Leichtigkeit ist alles robust. Die Oberfläche lässt sich leicht reinigen. Den Geschirrspüler würde ich schon wegen der Tülle meiden. Mit heißem Wasser leicht auspülen reicht völlig aus.Die Lieferung aus Japan hat 2 Wochen gedauert, das Warten hat sich aber gelohnt, auch in preislicher Hinsicht. Ähnliche Produkte kosten 40€ aufwärts (derzeit gegenüber 25€).FAZIT:wenn Tradition auf Eleganz und Funktionalität trifft, kommt dabei ein sehr gelungenes Produkt wie dieses hier raus. Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle Baristas und die, die es werden wollen!
