handcrafted coffee is a function we requirement to write. however for now we present this copper kettle which is developed to pour out the boiling water extremely slowly in purchase to accomplish the ideal cup of slow-drip java.
[CHS] made the kettle for his buddy [Nate]. The entire process starts off with an arc of flat copper sheet which makes a somewhat conical cylinder when rounded up until the two ends meet. getting a water tight seal on this seam is imperative as well as it took four or five tries to reach perfection.
To get the kettle in shape [CHS] improvised a mandrel out of a thin slice of railroad track. After polishing it smooth it goes on the inside of the copper as well as provides him something to hammer against. We believe this step is magic… It’s type of like the old shaping adage that you eliminate whatever that isn’t what you’re trying to end up with. The charm of the piece truly pops out as the final curves are hammered into the work.
