Takahiro drip Coffee Pot 1.5L (Japan Import)

I found this brand on the Blue Bottle website when i was looking for a kettle to replace one i bought on amazon a few years ago, it was matte black with a broken thermometer, chipping paint, and starting to rust.
When I got this one (for much cheaper on Amazon than the BB website) I realized how many things annoyed me about the previous one—like because of how it was designed I could never get all the water to pour out, and it would shoot water out the spout all over my stove if i accidentally let it come to a rolling boil.
This kettle is SO much nicer. It never over-boils, even when it’s almost full, and the water pours out completely from both openings. Making pour-over is so smooth and easy, and there’s no inner lip around the top opening for the lid, so excess water comes right out (no shaking or blotting up puddles with a towel to avoid rusting). Plus it’s pure, gorgeous steel, so no peeling paint ever.
I got the 1.5L, and it’s more than enough for my 6-cup chemex—it would definitely be enough for an 8-cup, I think.

A couple shortcomings—the handle does get hot, so I have to use an oven mitt. I also miss having a (working) thermometer, but i guess i can figure something out for that. It’s still so worth it, imo. I love that it’s made in Japan with quality steel, so much nicer than the junk kettles all over the internet. I really took my time looking, and I’m glad to have landed on this one. Definitely recommend, it’s so worth the money. I think it’s gonna last a long time.
