What Is Chicken Wing Wood and Why MAVO Deep Flow Kettle Chose It for the Lid Knob

When it comes to coffee gear, not every element needs to serve a critical function - yet sometimes, a detail can add both aesthetics and purpose. MAVO coffee, known for its specialty brewing equipment, achieves this balance in its Deep Flow Kettle by incorporating Chicken Wing Wood for the lid knob. This choice blends tradition with practicality, making the kettle as visually appealing as it is functional. But what is Chicken Wing Wood, and why was it chosen for such a seemingly small part?

Understanding Chicken Wing Wood

Chicken Wing Wood, or "鸡翅木" (jī chì mù) in Chinese, earns its name from its intricate grain pattern that resembles bird wings. With a legacy deeply rooted in Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture, this wood symbolizes durability and elegance while offering sustainable utility.

Key Features:

• Durability: High density and wear resistance make it ideal for long-term use, even in functional roles like kettle knobs.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The natural grain adds a luxurious and distinctive touch, giving the Deep Flow Kettle a soulful character.
• Sustainability: MAVO’s eco-conscious philosophy is reflected in its choice of materials like Chicken Wing Wood, valued for its longevity and responsible sourcing.

Why the Lid Knob?

Chicken Wing Wood serves both practical and aesthetic purposes in the Deep Flow Kettle:

• Heat Resistance: Unlike metal, the wood stays cool to the touch, offering a comfortable and secure grip when you need to open the lid.
• Tactile Experience: The natural finish enhances the brewing ritual, connecting users to the craftsmanship of their tools.
• Heritage Meets Modernity: Its use bridges traditional materials with contemporary design, embodying MAVO’s ethos of blending timeless craftsmanship with innovation.

Why MAVO Made This Choice

Every detail in the Deep Flow Kettle reflects MAVO’s focus on precision and style. The 1mm thick 304 stainless steel body ensures consistent temperature, while the Teflon-coated exterior enhances durability. The Chicken Wing Wood knob elevates the design with:

• Visual Harmony: Warm, natural tones complement the matte finish for an understated yet premium look.
• Functional Balance: The insulating properties ensure usability without compromising style.
• Cultural Significance: This choice honours a material with rich heritage, turning the kettle into more than just a tool - it’s a story.
