The pot works very well. Regarding the drip freedom I can join my Vorrezendenten, nothing drips or spills and so far I had no unsightly Abtropfspuren. The integrated strainer is easy rauszunehmen (thanks to the attached small ridge and without burning your fingers) and easy to clean. The tea dissolves in spite of the screen well in water and taste I've been able to notice any difference to the direct maker in an alternate pot. The cleaning turns out (if you look at it thoroughly) a bit cumbersome. The bracket of the lid is made of a rather thin metal sheet which is connected by a small web (about 6 mm) with the holder (Henkel) / screwed. One can mount indeed turn out and pushed to one side in order as the pot with a rag / cloth to clean and wipe. This I can carry about 3-4x before the thin web is simply canceled by the holder (or has come loose at the weld). This Henkel is firmly no longer particularly and I'm afraid that I have to keep the pot on the future Henkel and with the other hand under the pot. Also, after cleaning water under the sheet metal parts (between glass and metal) which will interfere with one or other policy. With the appearance of the jug, the function, the drip freedom and the holder (if functional) I am very satisfied. Regarding the cleaning options need improvement. Who only flushes this pot and then dried by hand and with few traces of water (which until the next day but dry well) can live, is well served diagnosed with this pot. I would definitely recommend the jug. Price / performance is good.
