Initially, design and general appearance: nothing to say, or rather if, this teapot is beautiful, elegant and sober. The cream color associated with the purified form give the camera a little old-fashioned air. Relatively compact, it will not clutter your kitchen. Secondly, use: a cinch. We fill the kettle, it is placed in the cradle, you select the type of tea that is desired to prepare (green or black tea, herbal tea or rooibos), water heated to the desired temperature (depending on the type of tea selected because you should know that the water used for green tea, for example, should never be boiling), an elegant sound signal is heard when the water has reached the proper temperature, then placed the filled filter and timer engages automatically. Once the infusion is complete, the buzzer sounds again (zen the signal, I assure you!) What's great is that the device does everything for you and there is no risk of leaving his tea steep too long; how many times have I found myself with a green tea so strong and bitter he had become undrinkable ... I also want to say that the teapot does not "thermos" and that the plate does not heat continuously tea. However, the vessel has a double layer that keeps the tea warm for about an hour. Frankly, I love it. This article is so beautiful and effective as it is ideal for a beautiful (beautiful) gift that will delight tea lovers.
