Have been looking for a beautiful glass jug and this eventually ordered due to many comparisons. It's something big, but ok for me as I like to drink several cups of tea. However, the tea not remain warm until the end, when one does not use warmer. It is very positive that the pot really does not drip, that was my greatest fear. The handle of the jug, I personally find a bit too big, but is only an optical flaw. The biggest problem, however, is the screen: There is really very permeable. I drink mostly loose ginger tea and the whole tea is full of crumbs, so that I again have him by seven by hand. So nothing for guests, too bad. PS The Trend glass tea cup and glass sieve has this problem, incidentally, is not so strong here the transmittance at the same tea is acceptable.
