This little kettle is perfect for beginners or travelers. It’s durable and heat resistant. Perfect for brewing small batches of coffee. The material is very lightweight and gives the user more control over the pour stream. This kettle is tiny and can fit in any cabinet, drawer or camping bag.  Item Number: VKA-35-TBSiz

I recently picked up a V60 to take a stab at pour over at home. I was getting ok drinks out, but my pour control was all over the place. It was too fast and not very accurate as I was using my existing hot water kettle.

I hate replacing things that work and I didn’t want to get a new kettle just for coffee making. I started looking for some small kettle options where I can put my hot water on and pour out. A lot of the products in this category are either too affordable where the handles come off or too costly. I was hesitant to get the Hario Air due to Hoffman’s review, but it really seemed to check all my boxes.

After making a few cups, it is amazing. I can’t get as close to the grinds as a normal kettle, but I’m not to far. Control is great, but the neck thickness causes me to bump the V60 sometimes, need more practice. At any rate, I love this and it’s easy to store in the cabinet when not in use.

TLDR: Great product if you have an existing hot water kettle you don’t want to replace just to make pour over.

      I already have that, I have the Fellow filter and pressure valve thing. It’s actually pretty good for the kind of coffee I most often like and makes for a cool workflow.

      It’s pretty funny that it’s more expensive than the AeroPress itself.
