Kalita Copper Drip Coffee Pot for Coffee Lovers, 30.4 fl oz (900 ml)

Copper is an excellent conductor of heat, allowing it to warm up quickly, which makes it a perfect choice for hand drip coffee that can be repeatedly served. This unique copper drip pot, crafted in Japan, features a specially designed thin mouth nozzle ideal for brewing flavorful coffee. The design of the narrow spout enables precise water flow control, preventing excessive amounts of water from pouring out all at once.

One of the standout features of this drip pot is its easy pour control, which facilitates a gradual extraction of flavors over time. This careful method ensures that each cup of coffee is rich and aromatic. Additionally, the pot is treated with inner plating to protect the copper from the harsh effects of water, hot liquids, and coffee, thereby preserving the quality of the beverage.

Over the years, using the pot may lead to the formation of patina, a natural process for copper items. While some might view this oxidation as a drawback, it is important to note that patina is non-toxic and can be removed with regular cleaning. For maintenance, a simple mix of vinegar and salt in equal parts can be used to gently scrub the surface with a soft cloth or sponge. After scrubbing, just rinse it with mild dish detergent and dry thoroughly to restore its shine.

However, it is crucial to keep in mind that the handle of this pot can become quite hot when left over fire. When subjected to strong flames, the base of the nozzle may also heat up, which could cause the coffee to spill. To ensure safety when using on a gas stove, it's advisable to place the pot on a wire mesh if balance is an issue. For optimal results, limit usage to 7 to 8 minutes to prevent any spilling.

The dimensions of this drip pot are approximately 12.2 x 5.1 x 7.1 inches (31.0 x 13.0 x 18.0 cm), and it boasts a water capacity of 30.4 fl oz (900 ml). Weighing about 25.7 oz (729 g), this copper pot is lightweight yet sturdy, making it a lovely addition to any coffee enthusiast's collection.

Please note that the pot is designed for use on gas burners and is not compatible with induction cooktops (IH), which is something to consider when deciding on your brewing methods. Its elegant design not only adds aesthetic value but also enhances the brewing process, allowing lovers of hand-dripped coffee to enjoy a superior tasting experience time and again.

In summary, this unique copper drip pot combines functionality with traditional craftsmanship from Japan, making it an essential tool for any coffee lover looking to enrich their brewing ritual. With careful handling and maintenance, it will provide delicious coffee for many years to come.
