I’ve always been intrigued by this pour-over kettle, but there aren’t any English videos discussing it. Given that you’ve reintroduced the osmotic extraction method in other contexts, this kettle now stands out for its unique role in meeting the needs of Japanese baristas for osmotic and similar techniques. As always, your presentation is clear, and you cover the key details meticulously. Keep up the great work with this unique content!
There are cheap Chinese kettles with 600 ml total volume with a narrow spout of similar diameter. Which also can be used, especially for 1 cup brewing (total volume is 600 ml, usable - around 400). But they're not induction ready and narrow for the stove. And the spout has a shape which makes it difficult to pour far from the wall of the brewer. You simply hit the brewer with it. So the pouring height becomes bigger. Details matter.
The hot metal knob on the lid is a big problem for me. Also the price in the UK is horrendous £158. My solution is to use a small Zojirushi vacuum flask that keeps the water at a stable temperature, it is extremely good. The spout is good for pouring, though not as good as those you demonstrate.
It's just for enjoyment of the brewing process. The knob can be wrapped with wood :) Thought about changing the wooden parts in a wooden version as well. Timemore fish (not a pro version) is still a pretty good option. Also pours pretty close to the coffee, ergonomics are good. But with the blackouts, I would prefer to have such a kettle over electric

Major correction. Wooden is also suitable for induction. Tested both on gas today - both usable.
Boiling water to pro version - 94°C
this is gonna be my end game kettle.

Great video! Have you tried the Kogu kettle? It’s similar to the tsubame pro but at the price point of the tsubame wood
Of course I haven't. I'm not a millionaire)
@ lol fair enough
