I have the pot since December 2010. use. Until 16.5.2011 I was also impressed by Selbiger. The drinks were long warm and nothing ran out. Then came the day of the first cleaning. Although I was aware of the recommendation of EMSA, the closure can no longer rested one afterwards. Since Amazon is advisable to turn once to the manufacturer, I have complained about the closure on the same day and within the warranty period at EMSA. Since then it hails consolations. Only until 1.7.2011 to 18.8.2011 then today, on 27.8.2011 I still have no new closure. It looks as if EMSA unable to guarantee is met. Should I still get a consolation I'll return the product well. EMSA has to send to me a replacement pitcher struggled through. Today it is at 9.9. arrived. Thank EMSA
