Barismo flow restrictor

[RobertL]

I know this was designed for use in Hario Bunio kettles but has anyone tried it in other kettles? I have a Paico kettle and I'm curious if it would fit.

I don't have a Hario or Paico - but I question the need to slow the pour? I've seen video of the Hario in action and the pour looked pretty manageable to me. Plus, if you really needed to manage the pour, wouldn't you look for a fitting for the end of the tube?

My gicleur (love that word) requires at least 8mm opening into the spout, with a fairly flush 15mm diameter total clearance around the opening.

Restricting flow anywhere in the spout decreases pressure and volume of the flow.  Restricting at the intake gives off a nice smooth flow at the tip without messing with the designed pouring spout.

I have a few Hario's and it is not completely necessary to have a sniper kettle to manage the flow, but it can be much more enjoyable and offer a lot more control even on a Kone brewing a liter with a 60g bed.
