Two Tiers on One Plate With a Window Into the Lower Boiler1.6 L Samovar Kettle With 0.8 L Pot

HKM-6088659 is a samovar-style set: a 1.6 L lower body in a ribbed boot with a tall glass window on the front, a chrome collar carrying the brand, and a 0.8 L glass teapot above it with its own handle, spout and a stainless basket on a central stem.

The base is a slim plate with a black panel showing a tea icon, a readout, a timer key and a power key. It suits a table set for a long morning: the lower body boils and holds the water, the glass pot on top brews the tea, and the two handles let either tier be lifted without disturbing the other.

The window in the boot shows the water level and the boil, which is the detail the samovar tradition is built around.

Body, Material and Fit

The lower body is a tapered boot in a matte color, ribbed vertically down both flanks, with a tall rectangular window set into the front through which the water and the boil are visible.

Above the boot a chrome collar carries the spout, the lower handle and the brand, and it is the collar that the glass pot seats into.

The upper pot is glass with a steel rim at its foot and a flat steel lid; the basket hangs from the lid on a central stem, and the pot has its own spout and handle.

Two handles in total — one on the boot, one on the pot — each with a brushed steel lower section that acts as a grip and a heat break. Water goes into the boot, the pot is filled and loaded with leaf, and the set is started from the panel.

Heating, Capacity and Control

The samovar arrangement is what separates this from a kettle with a basket: the water is kept hot below while the tea is brewed above, so a second and third cup can be topped up from the boot without re-brewing.

Lifting the pot off stops the infusion, since the leaf stays in the basket. No wattage is published, so none is given.

The two capacities in the listing's title are the volumes of the tiers, and the window in the boot is the gauge for the lower one.

The boot heats the water; the pot sits above it and brews, and the glass shows the color as it steeps. The panel displays the temperature in three digits — 100 °C in the photographs — with a timer beside it and a tea icon at the left.

Who It Fits and How It Pours

A tall rectangle is set into the front of the boot, with a printed scale beside it, so the level and the state of the boil are read without lifting anything or listening for a switch.

That is the detail the samovar shape is built around, and on an electric version it is also the reason the boot is ribbed rather than smooth: the window needs a stiff frame around it.

• The 1.6 L boot holds hot water while the 0.8 L pot brews above it
• Lifting the pot off the collar stops the infusion
• The front edge of the plate carries a tea icon at the left
• The timer is for the steep rather than for the boil: no wattage is published for this

What's in the Box

HKM-6088659 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

Descale the lower body with white vinegar and water when a film appears, then boil fresh water and rinse twice; the window makes the scale easy to see, which is an argument for dealing with it early.

The glass pot and its basket wash by hand, and the basket needs a brush to clear the mesh.

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the chrome collar with a dry cloth, and wipe the panel rather than washing it. Neither tier nor the plate should be immersed, and the pot should be left off the boot to dry so the rim and basket are not kept wet.

The set is tall — two tiers on a plate — so it wants open counter or a sideboard with height above it, and the panel should face the person working it.

Leave clearance at both spouts, since the boot and the pot pour on the same side. The boot has a handle and the glass pot has its own, and each handle carries a brushed steel lower section that works as a grip and as a break against heat.

That pairing is the practical point of the arrangement: the pot is lifted off to pour brewed tea, or the boot is lifted to fill a cup with plain hot water, and neither move disturbs the other tier.
