Purchased in February 2026, used a few times. It's clean stainless steel, and things reflect in it up close, but there are no scratches. Water spot marks can be seen. This was also available at the booth of the Nel Drip Coffee Association at the 2026 Ginza Coffee Festival. It's a good pot for when you want to adjust the flow, whether you're pouring slowly or all at once. The skitter part is also protected.
