## Why we chose it

The 9093 body is 18/10 stainless steel from rim to base with no coatings in the water path. The C-shaped handle and bird-whistle ornament are polyamide (PA), a stable engineering thermoplastic that clips to the exterior spout tip and handle — neither touches water at any point. The magnetic steel bottom adds induction compatibility. This is the matte black (BB) colorway of a design in continuous production since 1985.
