Love this Kettle!

The design is fantastic. It boils in minutes and pours easily and looks gorgeous in my kitchen!

Attractive, but awkward design elements

I expected to love this out of the box like with the toaster, but they made some odd design choices with the base. I chose the white, but it has a black cord - surely a white one is available to source. The cord is thick and hard to position. Further, the cord stores under the base and can only exit through a notch, but if the length of cord you need doesn't match the amount that's freed from each "unwrap," you end up with too much or too little. And if it's too much, because it's so thick, it's not really possible to tuck it away somehow. Also, the kettle doesn't sit firmly on the base. It jiggles around unless you have it filled up with water all the time. It does the job and wasn't quite worth sending it back, but it doesn't delight.

Perfect!

The kettle in white is perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. I don't use it to brew anything, just hot water I drink every morning. It's as simple as can be, just press the lever down and that is all. It turns off when the water is super hot. I also love I can bring the kettle with the hot water where ever I'm sitting since the underside of it stays room temperature, so not having to pour the hot water into another vessel is wonderful!

Efficient - it had me at the auto shutoff feature

I love the slimline & size, the quality, everything, it is so elegant and functional. I love that it turns itself off the most. Before this purchase, I would put my old teapot on the stove for boiling water to make tea, go to my desk (work remotely) and proceed to forget about everything but work including the teapot (no whistle function), even with a timer. So this is perfect in everyway, I love it!

White Kettle

It's perfect! It arrived the very next day and it is exactly what I wanted. Simplicity and clean lines! Just press the 'switch' down and nothing more. I just wanted something simple to heat water and this was perfect. Well made and looks great in my kitchen.

the story of the kettle

I wanted to have a more enjoyable experience in the kitchen. I had many thoughts of how to achieve this, which led me to the creation of BALMUDA The Kettle.

Gen Terao, Founder

it’s the experience that counts

Two years ago, I bought a cookbook by the chef of Restaurant Omiya in Asakusa, Tokyo. It soon occurred to me that if all I wanted was to eat the chef’s cooking, it would have been faster to just go to the restaurant.

So why buy the book? Because I imagined making the same Japanese hamburg steak (or hambagu) myself at home, and seeing my children enjoy it. I realized that I bought the book not for the meal, but for the experience of cooking the meal for my family at home.

a wonderful breakfast

My previous cookbook experience laid the foundation for BALMUDA The Toaster, with a focus on “experiences over things”. Believe me, this toaster sees heavy use at my house too. Because the toast it makes is so delicious, I started making bacon and eggs in a cast-iron frying pan to go with it. This, in turn, made breakfast a more enjoyable experience than ever. It was only natural that I’d eventually start wishing for perfectly brewed coffee as well.

coffee, tea, soup

One day, I decided I wanted to master the art of pour-over coffee. After my first few practice sessions, I was sure of one thing: existing kettles (traditional or electric) were difficult to use. I wondered, what sort of nozzle and handle would provide the best pouring experience? After countless prototypes and discussions with baristas, BALMUDA The Kettle took on its current form. Brewing pour-over coffee is now a soothing ritual in itself.

The Kettle is also ideal for more casual occasions when boiling water is needed — from pots of tea to instant noodles. Whether in the kitchen or at the dining table, BALMUDA The Kettle delivers a natural and enjoyable experience.
