As my old teapot has been transformed into an outdated model, I needed a new one. My choice was the mocha. I do not regret the purchase. It keeps the tea hot long, at least longer than a weekend breakfast so take if you want to drink a liter of tea. For me it was no problem to open the screw cap only with the right hand, and to close it again, no matter what the level. Although neatly turned down the shutter sucked firmly not so that both hands are required. Or have IHC too much force. ;) The pot also does not drip after. Pouring and stand, not a drop of picking out the way the pot down on the table or otherwise. I have since been through other pitchers because you know why it takes drip. The tea gets the pot any foreign taste, not even a metallic aftertaste. Very nice. I am happy.
