I already have two thermoses of Alif go. They are great, but for home use, I was looking for but rather a Jug with spout. I chose this, and I'm thrilled. The color brown is much darker than shown. But works by particularly chic and classy. Otherwise, it keeps its promises. It keeps the heat in the pot, the tea stays hot long. After 8 hours, the tea is still hot, though no longer cooking, but so that you can not drink it fast. Personally enough.
