FAQs

What is the capacity of the kettle?

The Mil-Tec Tea Kettle has a capacity of 800ml.

Can I use this kettle for coffee?

Yes, you can boil water for coffee. If you wish to brew ground coffee directly, it's recommended to use a separate coffee filter or method, as the integrated strainer is designed for loose-leaf tea.

Is the tea strainer removable?

The product description indicates a built-in tea strainer, suggesting it is not designed to be removed.

What material is the kettle made of?

The kettle is made of durable aluminium.

How do I clean the integrated tea strainer?

After use, empty the tea leaves and rinse the strainer area with warm water. For more thorough cleaning, use a small brush with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry.

Can this kettle be used on an electric stove?

The kettle is designed for direct heat sources like campfires and portable stoves. While it may work on some electric coil stoves, it is not optimized for them and may not heat efficiently. It is not suitable for induction cooktops.

What are the dimensions of the kettle?

Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is described as compact and lightweight for easy transport.

Troubleshooting

Kettle does not heat water efficiently

Ensure the kettle is placed directly on a stable heat source and that the heat is evenly distributed. Check for any blockages around the base if using a campfire.

Water tastes metallic or unusual

This can occur with new aluminium cookware. Boil water once or twice and discard it before normal use to season the kettle and remove any residual manufacturing tastes.

Lid is difficult to secure

Ensure the rim of the kettle and the lid are clean and free of debris. Slight pressure should be applied to lock the lid in place.

Handle feels loose

Periodically check the rivets or screws securing the handle. Tighten if necessary, ensuring not to overtighten and damage the material.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the lid and handle are securely attached before first use. The kettle is ready to be filled with water and placed over a heat source.

Care:
