The elusive Takahiro kettle is a prized trophy of many a proud barista. Crafted with strong stainless steel and shaped to spruce up any kitchen or café, it's occasionally seen in shops but hasn't been widely available to the common coffee geek until now. The Takahiro is famous among manual brewmasters for its unique spout, through which water flows slowly and steadily. It's the perfect companion for Chemexes, V60s, and the like, allowing baristas to dial in their technique and brew their best.
