The stainless-base upgrade to the classic Lotus, finished in deep Niris (Black). The Kaloud® Lotus I+3® is a precision heat-management device that sits on your bowl to deliver steadier heat, less ash and cleaner flavour. With a high-grade stainless steel base and aluminium wall & lid, it comfortably manages up to 4 large cubes for sessions averaging ~90 minutes.
What is the Kaloud Lotus I+3 Niris exactly?
It’s Kaloud’s next-gen HMD: a stainless-based, lidded chamber that regulates charcoal heat and airflow far more precisely than foil. More control, bigger clouds, truer flavour—on most 3-inch (~75 mm) bowls.
Kaloud • 4-Coal Heat Manager • Stainless Base + Aluminium Lid
Performance Highlights
Stainless base stores and spreads heat evenly; aluminium wall & lid react fast to vent changes; raised coal ridges keep cubes breathing to minimise ultra-fine particles and off-notes. Result: smoother pulls and consistent flavour across the whole bowl.
Flavour Compatibility
Low vents for bright blonde-leaf mixes; open up for dense dark-leaf flavours. Stable heat curves protect nuance and prevent scorching.
Usage Tips
Fully light up to four 26 mm coconut cubes. Start with lid vents half-open; fine-tune every few minutes to hold flavour in the sweet spot. Do not preheat the device—always heat coals separately.
Brand Story
Kaloud pioneered the modern HMD in 2012. Lotus I+3 advances that legacy with a stainless base for longer, cleaner sessions and precise thermal control.
