A very stylish and handsome pot, but (for my use) the tea leaves are much too fast cold. Hot drinks should be drunk hot, with this pot but little more than three hours possible. Too bad, because it is an eye-catcher. The pot was purchased from me because of the consistently postiven reviews. To put on the breakfast table and drinks for immediate consumption of the Alfi pot is very good geegnet. But if you want to enjoy a prolonged period (eg at work), the drink also hot, then you better have recourse to another pot from the Alfi program.
