Pourover Kettle Thread

[BoldJava]

UCC-Japan makes the Takahiro kettle.  They have a US office.  I wrote them and unfortunately, no price break on the case level order. No group buy forthcoming.

Their US rep is Jay Egami -- a former MMA featherweight. Some of his fights are on UTube. I can't make this stuff up -- his forum is

No wonder John is a Takahiro-hero.

I had no idea....

But I like it.

...  They had the Tiamo kettle with the thermometer in the lid on the shelves, but I resisted...

I now have the 1.2 Tiamo and a thermometer which sits in the lid in the cart at Orphan Espresso.  They are on vacation.  Hair-trigger finger in "the ready."

My arm started hurting from the twisting......


Tak with thermometer in lid.

1.5L Takahiro.  Shop is in Japan.  Not sure about shipping but I ordered it for $75.  Google's translation tells me that the shop will calculate shipping and communicate with me (estimate is $19).  Let's see how this adventure turns out:

Hmmm, I wonder if it's cheaper to ship a dozen? 

[BoldJava]

Where do you plug it in?

Peter's house.  Has a longer cord than most.  I will fill it with the hydrant across the street.

That thing is awesome cool, with the little hole in the lid.  You're gonna love it!

I ordered it

It was always a matter of time.

Stars aligned.  While I had finally put the 1.2L Tiamo in the cart, OE's shop is closed for a period of time.  Let's see if it arrives -- a cliff hangar on which to end this week's show to help improve ratings.

Maybe your adventure will have a different ending since it starts
in the Land of the Setting Sun rather then Pearl of the Orient.

I do have a question, are you buying a new Takahiro or a used
Takahiro?  The statement at the bottom implies it could be used:

"...I receive present packing and have it. ..."

So that picture may not be a stock photo, but rather the unit you are
going to be receiving in use.

[BoldJava]

...are you buying a new or...used...

So that picture may not be a stock photo, but rather the unit you are
going to be receiving in use.

And ruin next week's show?  Tune in next week to find out...

Bold, you could have had my parents' pouring kettle if you really wanted to go big and bold.

...

Man, I could put a drop any where I wanted with that badd boyy.

You could reach over to Peter's house and add 3 drops to his clever dripper.
