Twelve Cups From One Fill With a Mesh Basket That Lifts Clear2.9 L Glass Kettle Hanging Strainer

HKM-6055891 is a 2.9 L electric kettle with a glass upper section, a stainless mesh strainer that hangs inside it, and a touch base with a live temperature readout. It is built for volume: a full pot for a table rather than a single mug.

The strainer is what separates it from a plain kettle. Leaf goes in the mesh, water heats around it, and the basket lifts out when the strength is right — no separate pot, no second vessel to wash.

Heating is 2000 W, which is what makes 2.9 L practical rather than an exercise in waiting. The upper section is glass, so the water level and the color of the brew are visible without lifting the lid.

Body, Material and Fit

Below the waist the body is stainless steel, which carries the element and the base coupling.

The strainer is a stainless mesh cylinder that hangs from the lid. Its holes are fine enough for leaf tea and coarse enough that the water still circulates, which is the difference between an infusion and a bag sitting in still water.

Glass is not decoration here. Watching the leaf open is how you judge strength, and a steel body gives no signal until you pour.

The trade is care: glass does not tolerate a cold rinse straight after a boil. Because the strainer sits in the water rather than above it, the leaf stays submerged and infuses evenly.

Heating, Capacity and Control

2.9 L is roughly twelve cups. That is a table-sized pot, a meeting room, or a counter where the kettle runs all morning and nobody wants to refill it every twenty minutes.

Fill to the line rather than the brim. Headroom matters when the water comes to a boil, and a full kettle is heavy to lift with one hand.

At 2.9 L the kettle is a table piece rather than a countertop one: it is filled at the sink, carried by a handle set high enough to clear the shoulder, and set down where the cups are.

That is also why the base is broad — a vessel this size is unstable on a narrow plate once it is more than half full, and the extra width is what keeps it from rocking when the lid is lifted.

Who It Fits and How It Pours

Water moves through the mesh on every side, which makes the infusion even across the basket rather than stronger where the leaf is pressed flat against the element.

The basket is also what ends the brew. Lift the lid and the leaf comes with it, clear of the water, so a pot that is only half poured does not keep drawing in the ten minutes it stands on the table.

• Lifting the basket stops the brew at the point you choose instead of at the point you
• Because the strainer hangs from the lid rather than sitting on the floor
• The readout on the base is the working instrument: it shows the water temperature
• In a plain kettle the leaf goes on steeping until the liquor is poured off

What's in the Box

HKM-6055891 ships in one carton with the the product and the parts listed above. Check each item against the list before the first use, and keep the carton for the first month in case something has to go back.

Color and Finish

Remove the strainer and rinse it after every use; leaf left in the mesh dries hard and blocks the holes. Wash the glass by hand with warm water, never cold water into a hot vessel.

Descale monthly in hard-water areas.

Care and Maintenance

A grey film on the stainless floor of the body is calcium, and it slows every subsequent boil. The base needs a level, dry surface and enough depth for the body to seat squarely.

Keep the touch panel away from the sink splash zone; wet fingers on a capacitive panel are unreliable. For hospitality use, the readout saves a thermometer: the panel shows the temperature without lifting the lid.

One colorway is sold: a black frame with a stainless collar at the waist and a clear glass upper. The black is a matte moulding rather than a coat, so it does not chip at the edges the way a painted shell can, and the stainless band is the one bright surface on the object apart from the touch panel's readout.

The strainer hangs from the lid rather than resting on the floor of the body, so the leaf stays suspended in the water instead of packing into a layer at the bottom.
