But also because of the large mouth, this kind of hand flushing pot is not suitable for shaking the kettle body; allowing it to provide a small column of water steadily is the focus of the original design.

Kettle body features: copper good thermal conductivity and uniform heat dissipation, noble shape, appearance gives people a feeling of calm and down-to-earth. Let the users also show a taste of sophistication.
