Care & maintenance
Stainless steel forgives almost everything, but the thermometer prefers hand washing.
- Hand wash: Warm soapy water, soft sponge. The thermometer seal can loosen in a dishwasher, and trapped moisture fogs the dial.
- Dry fully: Wipe the body and lid after washing. Water spots on matte black are subtle but visible.
- Spout care: Rinse the gooseneck spout after each use. Coffee oils build up slowly and narrow the opening, slowing the pour.
- Descale quarterly: Boil equal parts water and white vinegar, let sit 20 minutes, rinse thoroughly. Mineral buildup slows heating and throws off the thermometer reading.
Frequently asked
What temperature should I aim for?
For pour-over coffee, 195–205°F is the standard range. Light roasts prefer the higher end (closer to boiling), dark roasts the lower end. For green or white tea, drop to 160–180°F.
How accurate is the thermometer?
Analog dial thermometers are accurate within ±5°F out of the box. Calibration drifts over time, especially if the kettle boils dry or overheats.
Can I use it on induction?
No. The base is stainless steel but not magnetic, induction cooktops will not recognize it. Use gas, electric coil, or ceramic stovetops.
Why a gooseneck spout?
The narrow curved spout slows the pour to a controlled stream, giving you precision over bloom and drawdown time. A standard kettle pours too fast and unevenly, flooding one side of the coffee bed.
Does the double-wall keep it hot longer?
Yes. The vacuum layer between the inner and outer walls slows heat loss, keeping the water hotter for an extra 10–15 minutes off the stove. It also keeps the outer surface cooler to the touch.
