The pot has a hinged lid that does not close tightly, but rests. The one-hand folding mechanism is very well thought out and easy to operate. Initially, however, a bit of flair is needed so that the lid will not burst open abruptly when pouring.
Even if was completely dispense with additional seals, the insulating effect of the pot is still very good: Almost completely filled pot of tea is still hot after 12 hours, with half-full filling or less after all, still very warm. Very good, I like that the pot does not produce natural flavor to the beverage and also no odor or taste of the filled beverage assumes even very strongly aromatic teas such. As peppermint. After rinsing, everything is like new. From the experiment to use the same pot for both tea and coffee, I still see from dear.
