Product Information
Full details
The Balmuda The Pot is designed for coffee enthusiasts and tea drinkers who value precision and minimalist aesthetics in their kitchen space. Its key benefit lies in the perfectly weighted, ergonomic spout that offers unparalleled control for slow-pour coffee rituals, though its 600ml capacity may prove limiting for larger households needing to boil water for multiple people at once.

FAQs
Is the exterior of the pot cool to the touch?
No, the stainless steel exterior will become hot during the heating process. Use the handle to lift and pour.
Does it have an auto-off feature?
Yes, the pot automatically shuts off once the water reaches a boil.
Can I use this for boiling milk?
No, this product is designed for water only. Using other liquids may damage the heating element and void the warranty.
How long does it take to boil a full pot?
With its compact size, a full 600ml capacity typically reaches a boil in approximately 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the initial water temperature.
Can I leave water in the pot after use?
It is recommended to empty any remaining water after use to prevent mineral buildup and maintain the longevity of the stainless steel interior.
Troubleshooting
The pot does not start heating
Ensure the power base is fully plugged in and the kettle is properly seated on the contact points.
Water takes too long to boil
Check the interior for heavy mineral buildup (limescale) and perform a descaling cycle if necessary.
The neon light is flickering
Ensure the kettle is positioned firmly on the base; if the problem persists, contact support for connection checks.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the unit or base in water.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may form inside. Use a food-safe descaling solution or a mixture of vinegar and water to periodically clean the heating element.
- Storage: Always ensure the pot is completely dry before storing it on its base to avoid electrical interference.
