The handles are quite a nice touch for sure! Word of caution to anyone looking to buy them, be careful to not over-tighen the boiler cap. The washer on the original boiler cap required quite a lot of force to keep steam from escaping. Assumed it'd be the same with this one. Screwed it on as usual, after about a week's use, unscrewed just the wooden top leaving the threaded metal cap still screwed on. Fun times. Actually just sorted it with some two-part epoxy last night (adhesives that work well with both a metal-wood pairing, as well as withstanding high temps are few and far between!)
