Flair Café Kettle – electric gooseneck kettle with temperature control
Buy the Flair Café Kettle in Switzerland: gooseneck kettle with 800 ml, three heating modes and freely selectable temperature – for pour-over, Flair and tea.
Coffee Coaching Club is the official Swiss importer of Flair Espresso. The Café Kettle is Flair's electric gooseneck kettle for every brewing method: water for the brew chamber of a Flair lever machine, pour-over, French press or tea.
Features of the Café Kettle
Quick Boil
One tap on ON/OFF and the kettle heats to 100 °C or to a temperature you choose with the dial. Once the target temperature is reached, it beeps twice and switches off.
WARM
The kettle heats to the selected temperature and holds it for 30 minutes. The WARM button cycles through the presets 45, 60, 70, 80, 85 and 90 °C, and with the dial you can choose any other temperature.
Quick Boil and WARM combined
The water is first brought to 100 °C, then cools to the selected WARM temperature and is held there for 30 minutes. Flair recommends this mode when the water should be boiled before brewing.
Dial and display
Turning right raises the temperature, turning left lowers it. The display shows the current and target temperature in degrees Celsius, and the indicator light flashes red while heating and green while keeping warm.
The details in everyday use
Rotates on the base
The kettle sits on the base so that the handle lies above the display and controls. On the base it turns around 15 degrees to the left or right, so you can see the display clearly whichever hand you pour with.
Memory for your settings
Selected Quick Boil and WARM temperatures stay saved, even in sleep mode. If you unplug it, the kettle resets to the default values, i.e. 100 °C for Quick Boil.
Fill marks and care
Minimum and maximum are marked on the inside wall of the kettle. From time to time the kettle needs descaling, and the connection between kettle and base stays dry while you do it.

Who the Café Kettle is made for
For anyone who wants to bring their water to a specific temperature and pour with control: for pour-over, for filling a Flair or for tea. If you brew several cups in a row, the WARM mode is there for you. If you're still unsure which brewing method suits you, our advice tool offers some orientation.
You'll find more gooseneck kettles, including the Varia AURA, in our Gooseneck Kettles collection. Our opinion is one of many: which kettle suits you depends on the capacity, controls and design that appeal to you.
What goes with it
Brewers: For anyone who wants pour-over that is affordable and precise, there are the Hario V60 and the AeroPress. If you want a vacuum brewer without bypass, you'll find the BIRD at Weber Workshops. Filter papers and further accessories are in the filter and French press collection.
Scales: For anyone who wants to weigh compactly and precisely, Normcore. If you want an app, flow-rate display and Bluetooth, Acaia. You'll find grinders for filter and espresso in the coffee grinder collection, and fresh beans from our coffee roastery.

Frequently asked questions
Can I freely choose the temperature on the Flair Café Kettle?
Yes. You select the target temperature with the dial, and in WARM mode the presets 45, 60, 70, 80, 85 and 90 °C are also available.
How long does the Café Kettle hold the temperature?
In WARM mode and in the combined mode it holds the selected temperature for 30 minutes, then switches off.
Does the Café Kettle remember my setting?
Yes. The selected temperatures stay saved, even in sleep mode. Only when you unplug it does it reset to the default values.
Is the Café Kettle suitable for pour-over and tea?
Yes. The gooseneck gives a controlled stream for pour-over, and the selectable temperature works just as well for French press or tea.
Does the Café Kettle go with my Flair machine?
Yes. Flair lever machines are filled with hot water, and the gooseneck pours precisely into the brew cylinder. You'll find the machines in the Flair Espresso Collection.
Can I see the Café Kettle before buying?
Yes, you can see it live in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich. Not every product is in both showrooms at all times, so drop us a line beforehand at [email protected].
Tip from the roastery: Water temperature shifts the picture in the cup: higher brings more body, lower more aroma. For pour-over with Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, this gives a dense, chocolatey, nutty cup, while Very Nutty brings maximum body. If you want to discover a fruity cup, reach for Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
