XY Design, a Chinese household products brand focusing on coffee, launched an electric pouring kettle with innovative design methods. O-Kettle has a ring between the stalk and the kettle body, which aims to protect the fingers from heat, and at the same time provides another kind of grip and operable options.

“After observing the technology of many baristas, we think that the handle of the kettle is the key to a good cup of coffee,” Tylor Choi, the representative of Xy Design public relations, told daily coffee news. “[O-KETTLE] The handle can protect your fingers from being burned and easy to control. The ring on the handle provides a comprehensive protection for your finger. Your hands will not feel tired quickly. “

O-Kettle follows many coffee and tea-related products produced by XY Design since its establishment in 2008. After the names of its founders, Hao Xiong and Wenju Yang, Xy Design also released a simple inverted cup rack and drip header, with different capacity of manual grinders, non -electric goose neck pouring kettle, glass utensils, etc.

Xiong and Yang in Germany’s household appliances and electronic design companies Kurz Kurz Design, the company has offices in Solinen, Germany and China. Mr. Xiong, the CEO of Kurz Kurz, worked with Yang at the Foshan Office. The two expanded a team consisting of product designers and engineers from the office to create products that reflect their personal interests. “A group of coffee enthusiasts of the company decided to start a company that focused on pushing more emotional products to the market,” Choi said. “We choose to design coffee products, not only because we like coffee, but we also see the opportunity to design more elegant and easier to use coffee products.”

Over the years, the cooperation between the two teams has been smooth, including O-Kettle, which contains a 1,500-watt heating element. It has achieved security functions and accurate control of 1 degree Celsius through the British Strix kettle electronic equipment.

After the kettle is powered on, it will restore the temperature used in the last time, and display its information on the OLED dot matrix screen built in the round knob, which echoes the ring in the handle.

When the water reaches the target temperature, the base will provide visual and auditory instructions through quiet beeps and flashing LEDs.

O-Kettle’s estimated retail price is $ 130, and discount pre-orders can be obtained by the Kickstarter activity started later this month. According to the company, the first batch of kettles will be shipped to the booking customers by May 2022, and will be sold to American customers through their own overseas online stores and Amazon.
