This pot I have now for a few weeks in use and I can not connect the bad judgments. The water stays warm all day, although the handle is slightly warm (in winter very pleasant!), But not so that you could not touch it with bare hands. The lid does not at all hard to open, but very easy and straightforward, and it has an office pot a big advantage over conventional cans: They 'sings' not !! And besides, she is very beautiful. I would highly recommend them and find them just wonderful!
