My glass jug had not survived the last cleaning. A new teapot therefore was needed. A glass jug, it should not, the life is, at least for me, but too short. Even a Japanese iron teapot, optically very nice, but not without its problems in handling, it should not be this time. So the choice fell on a porcelain pot. The classic, simple design of the Maxwell & Williams P997 liked immediately. Here is a nice, simple pot without any unnecessary tosh. The total absence of any plastic parts like it very much. Processing of very favorable pot is without flaws. She holds about 2 large cups of tea. I use them in conjunction with a stainless steel filter of very good fit in the pot and saves me the hassle of Handiererei with filter bags.
