HARIO"Pure" Leaf Tea Pot, 700ml

Very nice teapot but needs to be careful when washing it - the glass is thin.Pros: the dense s/steel infuser so the amount of floating particles is minimized; the relatively small footprint; the hole for the air in the lid (not every teapot has it).Cons: nothing while lid fits the infuser loosely (you have to gently hold the lid while pouring the tea that in fact adds some classy image to entire process).The reverse side of the good dense infuser is that the cleaning of infuser is a little tricky - I have multiply rotate the infuser under the water stream to flash out all particles of tea, especially from bends in the mesh.

Cute little pot 🫖 , I love the large brew basket, I have a bunch of them in smaller sizes; my biggest concern is how thin the glass is. The box makes it clear that the lid is meant to fit upside down in the box, but it was mailed just floating around in the plastic unpadded mailer envelope.I just purchased this to brew larger amounts of herbal infusions, I’m not planning on putting it on the stove or anything. Just be aware that the glass is very thin.

I love this teapot! I purchased this teapot from reading other reviews that said it could be heated right on the stove. Though I do heat it on the stove occasionally, I still more often than not choose to use a separate kettle to heat my water and pour over the leaves - both ways work wonderfully.The teapot is a great size with a beautiful design that allows you to see your tea steeping. The included infuser is great because it dips down almost to the bottom of the kettle, allowing you to make as much or as little tea as you desire with no worry as to whether the water line will reach the loose tea leaves. The infuser mesh is a good size as well, allowing for a nice steep without allowing tea leaves to pass through.The teapot itself is somewhat delicate, so I would exercise the same amount of caution you would use for other glass kitchen objects. I would also use one hand (with a towel for protection) to hold the lid down while pouring so that it does not come free and break. A great product that I would recommend to any tea lover!

Good quality, big opening so it is easy to clean. The filter is great for teas.

Love the pot...however the lid does NOT sit on the pot evenly at all. No matter where you put it there is a huge gap between the pot and the lid. I bought it to use in the microwave and it works great...was looking for making a 4 cup kettle for hot tea and didnt want any plastic. This works.

Good quality and the glass allows me to see the tea brewing. Have used it multiple times/day for 2 weeks and can say that it's easy to clean out and dishwasher safe. The mesh is hard to clean with small leaf tea, but I've found it's easier if I let it dry a bit and then bang it gently on side of sink. This tea pot brews a little over 2 full cups of tea, or 4-5 of my smaller Japanese tea cups full.

They are very cute and stylish but not durable. When they don't break they are perfect. I purchased 4 of these over the last 2 years and use them daily. After 2 years of use, I have experienced various issues with their construction. One has a broken beak. Another has a broken handle. Another has a broken lid. One is whole after 2 years of use. If you are a daily user as I am I suggest purchasing something made out of more sturdy materials.

After posting my original review (giving this 3 stars), I'm updating my review. I've used this for about 2 weeks now. I honestly did think I read the description carefully ... somewhere I thought I saw 16 oz ... this is not 16 oz, its 8 oz. Also, the lid does not nest securely on the pot without the infuser. I took it to work, I love this lil pot! I wish it was not so expensive because of the size, but this is a highly efficient pot, very durable, easy to clean, looks elegant with the Fab Jasmine Blooms I purchased. I take this to my work kitchen and make a pot of tea. Walk it back to my desk and I sit it on a potholder. It keeps the tea warm enough that I can use half in my mug, drink it down and get to the other half before the pot gets cold. Then I walk go back to my kitchen and refill with hot water.
