Slight change of topic.

In an effort to be fair, I have been paging Mr Angus Chan (of Homeloo)
since Christmas Eve.  He has responded.  He is going to send me a new
handle.  The only problem with that solution, is I was sent a handle. 
I need a kettle with a BRACKET so I can attach the handle to the kettle.
Thinking that this lack of communications could go on until Easter,
I have sent a pictue (jpeg), hoping that a picture is truly worth a thousand words.   
I have a feeling that the handle will be on my doorstep by the end of next week,
and my most recent email (wth jpeg) will go unanswered.  We shall see.

How much you want for that one?

[peter]

So a hose clamp should make it functional, not pretty.

Or a drill, a ss screw w/ a silicone o-ring, a spacer, and a nut.

[Richdel]

Or, Mr. Chan could just send me the one that I ordered.

All sales on hold until I find out how this defective unit will be handled.

[Richdel]

UPDATE:  It appears I was partially correct.  Mr Chan responded to my email, and informed me that the handle was already in the mail.  But that he now understands that I will need a kettle, and will have that in the mail on Monday.  Long wait, but solid customer service by Mr Chan.  Proof will be in the puddin'.

When in a hurry, I heat just 2-oz in the Paiku kettle and get the rest of the water moving in the Pino.  This morning, just for chits and giggles, I didn't preheat anything in the Paiku to measure the cool down effect of transferring the water to the Paidu.


Result:  The water was preheated into the Pino to 210* and poured into the Paiku right off the shelf.  The result was a 193.7* in the water.   Pre-heating is wise.

Note:  still haven't pulled the trigger on the Tiamo.

You haven't pulled the trigger because you want the Tak...

If it were a 1.2L, it would be in my kitchen.

How bad do you need that .3 of a litre?

Really badly.  I make 1 liter into a thermo/carafe with pourovers and the same volume with the KONE/Chemex.  I need about 1.1 liters to accomplish that.  We kill that amount of coffee every morning -- our standard fare.  If anything, our volume needs will increase as the Czarina retires Friday.  She isn't bashful about reminding me that she needn't find the time clock nor the alarm clock before I have the same luxury.

[John F]

You only make 1 liter batches.

I know you have ways to do that now...do you ever brew less than that in a session?

Trying to do my part ya know...  ;

On occasion, I will brew one cup via a pourover Hario setup or an Espro.  My Paiku will hold 40 oz (1.2 l)when filled to the top.  She rattles, but works.  It has a great tip and I can do the 1-3 drips anywhere though I don't think it would win in a head-to-head with your Takahiro.

My interest in the Tiamo is merely my foster'in.
