I was looking for a coffee pot as a gift for my mother. You can with your hands no longer like before, so had the jug in the handling be easy. I have long wanted, until I came across the pot of Leifheit. And for the price of the hammer. I saw the pot with other providers who demanded at the price much more. I can only say that the gift was very well received by my mother. The pot does not drip, when poured the jug is kept at a slight angle, to open a small door and even the coffee comes out without the lid to open or otherwise to operate anything. In addition, an increase is still that the pot is complete. can be cleaned in the dishwasher. A small drawback has found my mother in law which the coffee is not quite as long as your old pot holds. But who wants his coffee already keep warm for 14 hours.
