Kalita Copper Coffee Pot for Coffee Lovers, 20.3 fl oz (600 ml)

Copper’s excellent heat conductivity allows it to warm quickly, making it an ideal material for hand drip coffee that can be repeatedly brewed. The Japanese drip pot is designed to be lightweight, weighing in at less than 17.6 oz (500 g), which makes it easy to handle, even for those with smaller hands.

One of the standout features of this coffee pot is its thin mouth nozzle, which is perfectly suited for crafting a flavorful cup of coffee. This narrow spout effectively regulates the flow of water, ensuring that it does not pour out all at once, thereby enhancing the brewing process.

Another advantage of this design is its ease of use in controlling the water flow. This allows users to gradually extract flavors over time, resulting in a more nuanced and rich coffee. Additionally, the interior of the pot undergoes a plating process that protects the copper from altering the quality of the water and coffee it comes in contact with. Over time, users may notice the formation of a patina, which is important to clean regularly. While this change in appearance is normal, it is important to note that the patina is non-toxic and safe.

For cleaning, simply mix equal parts vinegar and salt, then gently rub the mixture onto the copper surface using a soft cloth or sponge. After that, rinse the pot with mild dish detergent and dry thoroughly to maintain its polished look.

It's essential to exercise caution when using this pot over a fire. The handle can become hot, and placing it on a strong flame can heat the nozzle base, leading to potential spills. When using a gas burner, ensure the pot is well-balanced; if it is wobbly, consider placing it on a wire mesh for extra stability. It works best when used for a duration of about 7 to 8 minutes to minimize the risk of spills.

In terms of dimensions, the pot measures approximately 6.7 x 3.5 x 5.9 inches (17.0 x 9.0 x 15.0 cm) and has a full capacity of 20.3 fl oz (600 ml). With a total weight of around 12.2 oz (360 g), it remains lightweight and manageable for everyday use.

This copper drip pot is crafted in Japan and is compatible with gas fires, though it is important to note that it is not suitable for use with induction cookers (IH).

In summary, this Japanese copper drip pot not only offers functional advantages like lightweight handling and excellent temperature control, but it also enhances the overall coffee brewing experience. Whether you are a seasoned barista or a home brewing enthusiast, this pot stands out as a convenient and effective choice for making delicious hand drip coffee.
