Super little pot
I love this little teapot, bought for my daily cup of green tea.I know that not everyone can like everything or get on with everything, and the that we can have seemingly, vastly different, experiences in life, but, there are some really duff, silly, utter nonsense comments on Amazon about this item (and many other things actually when you start reading), and I suggest that you ignore most of them cos they are mostly non-issues, some even make no sense and are just outright idiot talk.Overall, this pot is a great size for a single cup/mug if you have one that holds between 280ml and 350ml, though of course, you can use smaller cups if you like, I have a couple of 170ml cups which work well too. The pot says it has a capacity of 350ml.If in doubt about this, try out 350ml (or whatever size you plan on buying) before you buy, so it gives you some idea of how much that actually is, rather than buying and coming back to claim you have been conned because it is 'deceptively' small, or misleading somehow, because it doesn't match your 'imagined' size or some other nonsense statement.It is generally well made, though you will read some folks claim it is super delicate, and whilst I have not been lobbing it around the kitchen, I have not been mollycoddling it either.It is quite easy to use, put tea in, put water in, wait a few minutes, grab a cup or mug, pour tea into cup or mug. There are plenty of places you can read/learn about how to make tea from loose leaf, and find out timings and other information which can all help you get the best from tea and pot.Mine does not drip, as many other folks state, though other folks also say they have varying drips, ranging from slight annoyance all the way to gushes and floods, so your experience may vary.The other oddity I find is the comments relating to heat loss, well mine stays pretty hot, after all the tea is only in there 3-5 minutes, depending on what tea I am using, and some teas require slightly lower heat anyway, so this is not an issue for me, as I find the tea comes out steaming, just as expected.You will find claims, however, ranging from going cold instantly, seriously, which is, of course, absolute nonsense, to cools down a bit quick, which is fair enough, but can easily be fixed with a tea towel or similar to slow down the unexpected heat loss.The lid may need a helping fingertip to stay on sometimes, so maybe this helps with keeping drips in check, the infuser fits very well once pressed in, and will stay tight in the pot without any need to hold it in place and it is also quite a good size, allowing the water to move around the leaves and giving the leaves enough space to expand as they re-hydrate.It is easy enough to clean too and a good rinse will be enough for most folks for most days, as long as you have not left it sitting too long, so you should not see too many stains or discolouring. I wash mine at the end of the day, as in, I put it in some hot soapy water, give it a wipe over with a cloth and rinse it well.It looks really quite stylish and very smart too, and people tend to really like it, and if you find this on a deal, then I would say grab it, I am sure you will be happy with it, and even at the regular prices, I would recommend it.

Great for loose tea infusing but very thin glass construction
After putting a fair few cups of tea through this I really like how well it keeps the loose tea contained within the metal strainer with little to no tea leaf parts making their way into the water. The small sized one is just right for a single cup of tea, and I actually liked it so much that I bought a 2nd one for my wife who drinks a different blend of loose tea. Its fairly easy to wash the loose tea out of the strainer so cleaning the metal parts (the whole thing separates into 3 parts) is easy.Now for the bad:The glass pot has a square base which aesthetically I really like, however its near impossible to clean unless you have a small bottle cleaning brush that can get into the corners.The metal tea filter insert that pops in, secures itself to the top lip via 3 sprung clips which might need to be tweaked a little so they clip against the glass lip properly (I bought 2 and 1 needed tweaking).You have to pour slowly (especially when its full) otherwise it has a tendency for tea/coffee to run all down the front and off the bottom of the glass jug. Having a slightly larger pouring lip and better separation between the top of the glass jug spout and the metal filter insert would stop this from happening, and maybe its better on the larger version but I don't have one for comparison. Its not a show stopper and I just have to remember to curb my enthusiasm for tea when I'm desperate for a cup and pour it slower than I would like.The glass jug is very delicate, so much so that I haven't dared to put it in the dishwasher yet as I'm not sure it'll survive. I did actually buy 2 of these but one of them didn't last a day when it got knocked off the draining board and exploded when it hit the floor. I wouldn't expect anything glass to have survived the fall but it was like trying to pick up sugar crystals as the glass had shattered into very tiny (and super sharp) shards rather than a few large pieces.With all that said, would I buy this again? Yes I would. I like the design, its the perfect size for me, and the stainless steel filter works really well.

Very good but feels fragile
Looks great, arrived super fast. The only negavite is that the glass feels fragile, glass pot is as thick as a wine glass, hopefully, it will last.

Great looking, not sturdy (one cracked), newer one has shorter infuser
This is a great, contemporary looking teapot, better than many of the usual traditional styles. So that was the main reason for purchasing it. One other advantage is you can see the colour of the brewed tea.However, the glass isn’t that strong. Ours got knocked against the upstand cracking the base.Ordered a replacement but as you can see in the picture, but now the infuser it comes with is shorter by an inch and sits quite high. It’s not ‘extra long’ as described in the product marketing info. This means it’s utterly useless for one cup as the infuser doesn’t even reach the water! See photo. If you are making just 2 cups (see photo) you may struggle to infuse. We kept the original infuser but not sure if this is a mistake or if that is how they are now.
