I bought two of these cans (1.3 liters) almost two years ago with another provider for the office. The cans are used for keeping water for tea. The negative reviews I can not understand; Both pitchers keep the water properly and hot for hours. The handle does not heat up excessively. Against 14 clock in the pot is filled hot water is itself the next morning at 9 clock still so hot that you can leave it just as run on the hand. I'm going to order me this pot now also to house in it to keep my tea water hot.
