☕ Kitchen Mart Stainless Steel Coffee Kettle with Filter
South Indian drip coffee maker · decoction poured straight from a spout · available in 270 ml or 450 ml
Every South Indian kitchen knows the 6 a.m. ritual: powder into the filter, hot water on top, a wait while the decoction drips, then the careful lift of the top tier and that tricky pour from the lower vessel's rim, with a little decoction always finding the counter. The Kitchen Mart Stainless Steel Coffee Kettle with Filter keeps the slow-drip filter you trust, but builds it into a kettle with a handle and a long spout. The decoction collects where it should, and you pour it straight into the tumbler.

❓ How does the Kitchen Mart coffee kettle work?
It is a drip coffee kettle: the filter sits inside it, and it brews by gravity, not on the stove. Coffee powder goes into the perforated filter chamber, the spreader disc rests on top, and you pour freshly boiled water over it and close the lid. The water soaks through the powder and drips through the holes into the kettle below as thick decoction, which you pour out through the spout. There's no electricity, no flame and no pressure involved.
- Seat the perforated filter chamber in the mouth of the kettle.
- Add South Indian filter coffee powder. Roughly one heaped tablespoon per cup is a common starting point; adjust over a few mornings to suit your taste.
- Level the powder and place the spreader disc on it, pressing down gently by the stem.
- Pour freshly boiled water over the disc, up to just below the rim of the filter chamber, and close the lid.
- Let it drip, typically 10–20 minutes depending on the grind and how firmly the powder is packed.
- Lift out the filter chamber, then pour the decoction through the spout into a tumbler of hot milk and sugar. That's your kaapi.
📏 Which size should I buy — 270 ml or 450 ml?
Pick the 270 ml if you make coffee for one or two people; pick the 450 ml for a family of four or five, or if guests are regular. Both have the same 4-part design; only the capacity and size change. Each order is one kettle in the size you choose.
| Spec | 270 ml | 450 ml |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 270 ml | approx. 450 ml |
| Makes | up to 2–3 cups | up to 4–5 cups |
| Width (spout tip to handle) | 18 cm | 20 cm |
| Height (including lid knob) | 13 cm | 14.5 cm |
| Top diameter | 8.8 cm | 10.5 cm |
| Best for | Singles, couples, office desk | Families of 4–5, guests, festive mornings |
"Cups" means servings of filter coffee made by mixing the decoction with milk, the way kaapi is usually served.

🔁 How is it different from a traditional two-tier coffee filter?
A traditional filter is two stacked cylinders, and you pour decoction from the lower vessel's rim. The coffee kettle puts the same filter inside a spouted kettle with a handle, so you pour the decoction out through the spout. The brewing itself is the same slow gravity drip; what changes is how you hold and pour.

🧼 Care & Safety
Knock out the used grounds, rinse all four parts in warm water with mild dishwashing liquid, and clear the filter holes with a soft brush. We recommend hand washing.
- Clean it soon after brewing, before the grounds dry into the perforations.
- Avoid steel wool and harsh scrubbers, which scratch the finish.
- Dry every part fully before reassembling and storing.
- Boil water separately. Don't heat the kettle directly on gas or induction.
- The body and steel handle get hot with freshly boiled water inside. Use a cloth if needed and keep it out of children's reach while brewing.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I boil water in this coffee kettle?
No. Despite the kettle shape, it is a drip filter for South Indian filter coffee. Boil the water separately, pour it over the coffee powder in the filter chamber, and the decoction drips into the kettle below.
Can I put it on the gas stove or induction?
We don't recommend it. It is designed as a drip filter: boil the water separately in an electric kettle or a vessel, then pour it in. Heating it directly on a flame or induction can scorch the decoction.
Is this a coffee percolator or a moka pot?
Neither. It is a drip coffee maker. Many people call it a coffee percolator, but it brews by gravity drip like a traditional South Indian filter, with no stove and no pressure. A moka pot sits on the flame and pushes water up with steam pressure.
How many cups of coffee does it make?
The 270 ml makes up to 2–3 cups and the 450 ml makes up to 4–5 cups of filter coffee, where each cup is decoction mixed with milk.
Do I get both sizes in one order?
No. Each order is one coffee kettle set (kettle, filter chamber, spreader disc and lid) in the size you select: 270 ml or 450 ml. To get both sizes, add each one to your cart separately.
Which coffee powder should I use?
South Indian filter coffee powder, either pure coffee or a coffee-chicory blend, in a medium-fine filter grind. Very fine espresso-style powder can block the holes and slow the drip. Instant coffee doesn't need a filter at all.
How long does the decoction take to drip?
Typically 10–20 minutes. Finer powder and firmer packing slow it down; a coarser grind speeds it up.
Why is my decoction dripping too slowly or coming out weak?
Too slow usually means the powder is too fine or pressed down too hard, so loosen the packing. Weak decoction usually means too little powder or too coarse a grind. Use a little more powder and always place the spreader disc on top so the water soaks the whole bed evenly.
Is it dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing. Rinse soon after use, clear the filter holes with a soft brush, and dry fully before storing.
Where is it made?
In India.
