Khalil Mamoon 5-Hole Ceramic Bowl — 12 g, smooth balanced heat

Khalil Mamoon 5-hole ceramic bowl — 12 g load, steadier heat for smoother flavour

In simple terms: what, why, how — and why get one
What it is: a genuine Khalil Mamoon Egyptian bowl with a traditional 5-hole floor and marble-look glaze.
Why it helps: the five ports spread heat evenly so flavours warm without harsh spikes.
How it works: pack 10–12 g of blonde leaf level with the rim, foil it, then run a Provost-style screen to fine-tune heat.
Why choose it: it mates cleanly with KM stems and delivers long, even burns with simple upkeep — the classic, no-nonsense Egyptian experience.

Hand-cast in Cairo, this marble-ceramic head balances heat for clean, steady extraction. The dense clay walls store gentle warmth, so your clouds stay consistent as coals settle. Sized for tidy blonde-leaf mixes (10–12 g), it fits standard KM spigots and favours foil + Provost/AOT-style screens for precise control. Explore our Khalil Mamoon range for a perfect stem match, pair with coals and heat gear from our coals & heat collection, and brush up on setup in our KM care & setup guide.

What sets it apart

• Smoother flavour from an even heat bed — classic 5-hole floor spreads heat across the pack.
• Gentler heat curve — dense marble-ceramic body buffers fresh-coal overshoot.
• Built to last — thick walls resist micro-cracks and thermal shock with normal care.
• KM-sure fit — standard ~22 mm KM spigot seals cleanly on all Khalil Mamoon stems.
• Unique finish every time — assorted marble glazes; each bowl arrives with its own pattern.

Fit & compatibility

• Designed for all Khalil Mamoon stems (from Mini Beast to full-size café builds).
• Best with foil + Provost/AOT-style screens for controllable heat.
• Not compatible with Kaloud Lotus-style HMDs (rim too narrow for a stable seat).

How to dial it in

• Fluff-pack blonde leaf to the rim; light tamp for airflow over the five ports.
• Use double foil; seat a Provost (or similar) and crack vents to taste.
• Start with 3 medium cubes or 2 large flats; add/vent as flavour warms.

Craft & performance

• Hand-poured, trimmed and glazed by Cairo artisans for an authentic Egyptian draw.
• Shallow-wide profile speeds heat-up and promotes quick, even extraction.
• Gloss glaze reduces flavour absorption and simplifies rinsing.

Care & upkeep

• Let the bowl cool before rinsing to avoid thermal shock.
• Wash with warm water and a soft brush; avoid abrasive pads and dishwashers.

Quick fixes

• Harsh hits → vent the screen or drop a coal; purge fully, then resume.
• Restricted draw → re-poke foil over the five holes; clear any leaf covering ports.
• Uneven cook → rotate the screen ~90° and rebalance coal placement.

FAQ

• What colour will I get? Bowls ship in assorted marble glazes — it’s a surprise each order.
• Can I use a Lotus? The rim is too narrow; stick to foil or a Provost-style screen.
• How do I prevent flavour ghosting? Rinse while warm, dry fully, and deep-clean monthly with lemon juice and baking soda.
