Pre-production preview — the cart is real, payments open with the first run.

Set 96°. Watch it hold.

Aura is a precision pour-over kettle. Pick a temperature to the degree; it reaches it, then holds it within ±1° for as long as the brew takes.

The hold

Water has a right temperature. Aura keeps it there.

Most kettles boil and drift. Aura's element answers a thermistor forty times a second, so 96° means 96° — at the first pour and at the last. The amber display on the base is the only light it shows.

The instrument

Balanced like a tool, because it is one.

The counterweight in the handle moves the kettle's balance point under your grip, so a full 0.9 litres pours as steadily as an empty one. The gooseneck is drawn to a profile that holds a 6–8 g/s laminar stream — the rate pour-over asks for.

The pour

Three decisions, made once.

  1. Set

    One dial on the base. Light roasts at 96°, dark at 88°, green tea at 80°. The display shows the live temperature as it climbs.

  2. Hold

    At temperature, the element switches to holding. Walk away, grind, bloom — the number does not move for thirty minutes.

  3. Pour

    The counterweight settles the kettle into your hand and the spout does the rest: a steady, vertical stream you can place on the grounds to the centimetre.

From the first units

Notes from early counters.

I stopped pre-heating my thermometer mug. It says 94, it pours at 94, the cup tastes like 94. That's the whole review.
EliEarly unit · Portland, OR
The balance is the thing nobody tells you about. Full kettle, slow spiral, no wobble. My pours got better before my coffee knowledge did.
SanaEarly unit · Seattle, WA
It's completely silent. The first morning I kept checking whether it was on — the amber number was the only sign.
MarcusEarly unit · Chicago, IL
Thirty-minute hold sounds like a spec sheet line until a friend shows up mid-brew. Second pour, same degree, no re-boil.

Questions

Asked, answered.

How accurate is the hold, really?

Within one degree. The thermistor in the base samples forty times a second and the element answers in small corrections, so the display number is the water's number — not a target it once touched.

How fast does it heat?

A full 0.9 litres reaches 96° in about three and a half minutes from room temperature; smaller volumes go faster. The 1200 W element is fully silent.

Why a gooseneck spout?

Pour-over brewing wants a slow, steady, vertical stream you can aim. The gooseneck's profile fixes the flow between 6 and 8 grams per second — fast enough to bloom evenly, slow enough to keep the bed level.

Does it switch off by itself?

Yes. The hold ends after thirty minutes, and the element cuts immediately if the kettle is lifted dry or boils empty.

What voltage does it run on?

The base is dual-voltage, 110–240 V, with the plug for your region in the box.

How do I clean it?

The inside is plain 304 stainless — rinse it, and descale with citric acid every month or two depending on your water. The matte outside wipes clean; no coatings to baby.

What's the warranty?

Two years against defects in materials and workmanship, handled over email. The full terms are on the Terms page.

Tomorrow morning, to the degree.
