"The kettle goes great with our shop style and interior. Besides the quality of the beans, roasting, and brewing, the shop space and equipments are important to us. When we use the kettle, it often draws the attention of customers. The quality is great and it doesn't get scratched even with frequent use."

“The appearance of this kettle really stands out compared to others. It's also durable and hard to get scratched. It's also easy to control the water flow, allowing narrow and thick water streams. The size is just right and the volume is perfect to make 2 cups of coffee.”

“While the kettle can contain a large volume of water, since the kettle itself is lightweight, I feel no stress on my wrist. The flow of water is beautiful and easy to control, and the large opening of the pot makes cleaning simple. The kettle is still new and shiny, but I look forward to the gradual and beautiful change in its expression over time. “

“The matt white color and the simple, clean design make this kettle attractive. I particularly like the design of the lid. The kettle is also very comfortable and stable to hold, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to control the flow of water. Since the body is compact and lightweight, I can fill the pot with water and pour without causing stress on my wrist. “

“Its appearance is what first catches your attention, but this is just one feature of this product. What's especially notable is the easiness of controlling the water speed, which is important for a pour over kettle. Even when I pour very slow, the water does not drip along the spout. I think this kettle is top notch in appearance as well as functionality.”

“The thickness of the body and lid is effective in keeping the temperature inside the pot warm. Depending on the pour angle, I can let the water drip little by little or add water at once like I would do with light roast beans. I can recommend it for home use as an item to upgrade your lifestyle.”

“The kettle is like a part of the body for a barista. When I buy a new one it usually takes time to get used to it, but that was barely necessary with this kettle. It had a smoothness and a feel that was like dripping hot water from the tip of my hand. I'm looking forward to how the texture evolves as I use it. ”

“The compact size is very easy to use. The form is excellent, because it lets me control the water flow regardless of how full the kettle is. It's also nice that the lid doesn't fall off when I tilt it. It's a brilliant integration of design and functionality.”

“I was drawn to the beautiful matt black finish which is also the concept color of our shop. The design fits well and adds a nice touch to our shop interior. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and helps me to brew each cup of coffee thoughtfully. I can open and close the lid easily with one hand, which adds gracefulness to the movement when making pour over coffee.”
