I switched over to an indoor market for the winter. The LEDs look pretty neat inside.

While this will be my first post on the forums I have lurked on and off generally on the forums as I try to weigh the pros and cons of my soon to be pour over kettle, been using the Buono pot for about 1 year+ already so was thinking about doing an upgrade locally my choice are fellow's stag, much of kalita's line up (it also helps I live close to the distributor) and brewista
Been interested in Kalita's line up from the copper thin spout and "wave" style drip pots to the porcelain but I just cant decide which I should get next I was thinking of the thin spout but not the &tsubame line up (not yet available for intl distributioon most likely) but the wave is also tempting...
Right now I'm eyeing on the product code 52055 from Kalita's japanese website, he also has the 52019 copper version, and the pelikan kettle (porcelain kalita kettles) available
While the &tsubame line up would be interesting to buy as I have a &tsubame 185 dripper they arent cheap as they cost like a takahiro pot for 1
I'm not kidding the &tsubame line up thin spout is about 14k yen in stainless steel 24k yen in copper

Alan Adler (AeroPress inventor) wrote the other day that copper is sufficiently toxic it is banned in Canada for coming in contact with food. It use to be used for preventing barnacles on boats but is also banned now for toxicity. Is that kettle lined with another metal?

There is also another limited edition( my guess ) from Kalita tsubame and you can try to contact the seller directly at: http://www.urdoors.com/shop/10050/

Hi dr.gary, may I know where can I find this information. I would like to know more. Thank you


in my humble opinion, all the Kalita copper kettles and drippers are plated( special plating ), so the does not come to contact the copper directly.

Has anyone told Monarch Methods this?

Perfectly legal in Canada, as water isn't food, you aren't cooking tomato sauce in a pouring kettle, and Monarch specifically states that the kettles are not to be exposed to heating elements. Keep in mind that many espresso machines have copper pipes and (uncoated) brass fittings - some even have copper boilers.

"All things are poisonous and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not poisonous." - Paracelsus

Definitely less of a risk as it's just water (depending on the acidity of your water!).
Copper boilers would have the advantage of only small doses of water consumed and then flushing etc helps clear the stagnant water.
Toxicity has been seen in infants (small body, undeveloped) from heated milk (less acidic than coffee) in copper jugs...a sensitive individual may have a problem from long term frequent use of an uncoated kettle if oxide is cleaned away (I understand this is a protective layer)... but an outside chance?

I hope that doesn't count for the copper pipes in my house! But I figure if everything I put in my body during the 70s and 80s didn't kill me, I'm not too worried about a copper kettle.

I think I read that the Kalita copper kettle is tinned plated on the inside.
