Kinto Stainless Unitea One Touch Teapot 460 ml. Heat-resistant glass teapot with stainless steel strainer and lid.

So this pot is a good value for the money and the glass is pretty high quality as it does not affect the tea quality. It has a solid build quality and weight to go along with it. Tea flavor is always better when brewed in solid glass pots. The size is good for a full solid mug of tea. It cleans up pretty well and makes making tea a breeze.

Love this teapot. So much easier to brew looseleaf tea in this. The pour is clean every time.

This little pot works well but only makes 1 small cup of "tea".

I loved the idea of this teapot from the first time I saw it. A strainer built into the lid? Genius! If I could give this product 10 stars, I would.Normally, my tea process goes like this:1. Boil water in electric kettle (to be able to control precise temperatures for different tea varieties)2. Pour water over loose leaf tea (SO much better than tea bags) in a tea pot (and not in a closed strainer) so that the tea can really expand and release its flavors3. Pour into mug or thermos over a small strainer to catch the tea.4. Keep strainer set aside for multiple uses.I love tea. And this was the absolute best way until this tea pot. And I've tried them all. I've used the brew in the electric kettle devices and they simply don't taste the same and are a hassle to clean.The problems with the method above is that step 3 usually ends up with the strainer becoming too full of tea and creating some splashing, sometimes requiring a funnel as well if you're pouring into a tall thermos. Then you have to have a bowl or some vessel to hold your dripping strainer in case you want to resteep your tea. It's inconvenient, but there was no better way...until Kinto's unitea one touch tea pot.It makes the tea brewing process so much more streamlined and accessible for people who don't want to do a whole tea ceremony every morning, but demand quality of flavor. Now I just pour my hot water into this teapot and then I can pour into my mug. The brewed tea can just hang out in the pot until I decide to add more water, it's perfect.I've given many as gifts.So thank you Kinto for making my life easier. If you're reading this - I would like to suggest a larger size. I know there are two sizes, but an even larger one would really seal the deal for me as a lifelong fan. If I'm having tea by myself or with one other person, these are great! But I find I have to resort to my original method if I need to serve 4+ people or even 3 people (when I'm filling thermoses).

The tea filter in this pot is of a very clever design - it is part of the lid itself. This leaves the pot clear, with a beautiful view of the dancing tea-leaves.

The rubber seal kept sliding up when closing the lid.

great and easy to use

I was first introduced to this type of teapot on a trip to Kyoto, Japan to visit a friend. I loved hers so much that I bought one as soon as I returned home from the trip and I have not used another one since. I have owned this teapot for a year and a half now, I use it more or less daily and it is still works great. If this doesn't convince you to buy it, i don't know what will! 10/10. I recommend to all of my friends and family. If my teapot ever sadly breaks, I will most definitely buy another one.
