Mr Chan took a good 10 days to respond to a simple question after my kettle arrived.

You can see the bracket that the handle attaches to, mine came without that bracket.

Yeah..I see now JB Weld isn't a good solution.

Big pita to send it back and get a replacement but for the price maybe....

Another day passes,and still no reply from Mr. Chan.

Beginning to think I may have to write this one off as
lost dollars.  Really makes you think how important it is
to buy local/support local.  Even if it is a few $$$ more.

If they end up refunding your money, and/or sending a replacement and tell you to keep that one, I'd take it off your hands.  Let me know what happens, and perhaps we can work something out.

Chang's picture (off H-B) of a Buono, left, and Tiamo, right.  Nice tip on the Tiamo.  Santa didn't leave the Tiamo at our house.  I called the North Pole today and asked if they missed our house.  Nope.

Sitting in the cart at Orphan's.  Waiting to pull that trigger on a 1.2 liter kettle.

The Tiamo looks snazzy.

Nick's pic again -- the Yukiwa, foreground, his current favorite.

I like the Tiamo, Kalita, and Takahiro style of spouting much more than the fat goose like the Yukiwa.

Of course I've never poured with the Yukiwa but it looks way clunky compared to the spouts that remain thin all the way.

I've gotta say.... I need to stop looking at this thread because I have no need whatsoever but that Kalita bronze kettle has a certain wacky coolness to it.

I don't like that style tip either.

The copper/brass one has a tip like the Tiamo or Tak....
