The chic little guy is easy to operate, unpack, unwind cable, filling with water, turn, ready. The lid is easy to open with the other hand and the Inne room with his witty Wasserstandsanzeige- finally one that is truly easy to read is lässt- then easily accessible. With the lid closed, however, he can not really fill well. The focus of the designers was probably more on the easy pouring of water, and since they also have a good solution has succeeded. The water heats up quickly and can be super pour in the tea, not a drop is wasted, just smooth. I like the blue dwarf in teapot design very well and for making tea water it is practical. For the single household or for teabags fans a good kitchen helper!
