Brewing kettles are part of the brewing system and are used to brew tea or coffee from tea leaves or coffee grounds. A portable stove, Collapsible Tripod, or other heat source is needed to heat the brewing kettle. A tea infuser or coffee press may also be used as part of the brewing process but are not required. For detailed information on the brewing process as well as variations on its use with a tea infuser or coffee press, see the main brewing system article.

Additional Information
When heating a kettle, it requires 72 heating pulses, normally three minutes, to bring the water to a boil. Stoves can be unlocked to adjust the speed of the heating pulses.
Complete brewing requires an additional five seconds per dose of water.
TURN requires confirmation before discarding the contents. CLEAN immediately empties and resets the kettle without confirmation.
Kettle Contents
When you LOOK IN a kettle, you can see what type of drink is inside (based on its color), how full the kettle is, and if there is anything else in the kettle with the liquid.
Kettle measurements include: about one-fourth full, about one-third full, about half full, about two-thirds full, about three-fourths full, nearly full, and full. A kettle holds up to 35 sips, equivalent to five full cups.
Unbrewed water is clear. A brewed beverage will have a color according to that specific beverage as well as an intensity description. The intensity of the liquid can be pale, murky, or rich according to its brewing progress. The final beverage's strength appends the tea or coffee's flavor messaging:
- The tea/coffee is weak.
- The tea/coffee is a bit weak.
- The tea/coffee is just right.
- The tea/coffee is a bit strong.
- The tea/coffee is very strong.
A kettle will continue to brew its contents if the water has been heated to boiling, even after it has been removed from the heat source.
For details on timing and beverage intensity, see the full brewing system article.
