The Tak is designed to be perfect does that count?  8)

It seems like the tak is the solution.

Or at least thats what i came up after going through this thread and the tak roadshow. However there are a few kalitta pots on amazon for about fifty that are tempting.

You can tweak the spout with a needle nose pliers.

Is there a specific way to tweak it or just give a squeeze from the side?

Just squeeze it from the sides, to form a narrower/sharper point.  Squeeze it further than you think.  Then try pouring some water.  Rinse.  Repeat.

I actually added a very thin piece of wire, something like a thin paper clip to my spout.  Bend it and crimp it so both legs are touching along their entire length, then shove that onto the spout with maybe 1/8" sticking out.  The water will dribble off of that very cleanly, in the teeniest stream you could want.

Waaaaay better than a Takahiro.   :o

Just noticed a good price ($39) for my Hario Buono V60 kettle:

Life is too short to drink bad wine (or bad coffee!)
