Percadot Larkspout Gooseneck Kettle

The Larkspout is a proper gooseneck in a color that makes you want to leave it out. Underneath the powder-coated finish is a straightforward stainless kettle with a narrow curved spout that slows the pour enough for a controlled bloom — pour roughly twice the weight of your grounds in water, wait 30 to 45 seconds while trapped carbon dioxide escapes, then continue in slow circles. That pause is real chemistry, not ritual: degassing coffee repels water, and blooming lets the bed wet evenly. Holds 0.9 liters, works on gas and electric burners, and the stay-cool handle is shaped for a relaxed grip. A friendly first gooseneck, and a frequent gift for new pour-over converts.
