From this set
The cast iron holds the heat much longer than my previous ceramic pots. The Hakeme texture looks very professional on my counter.
I find the folding handle very helpful when I need to tuck the kettle away in my small cupboard. The 1000ml size is perfect for my morning tea routine.
This Nambu Tetsubin kettle feels incredibly solid and well-made. The water stays hot for several rounds of brewing without needing a reheat.
