As I put my head down Teapots always after rinsing to dry and then again without looking fresh tea had poured later that was a big surprise! Everything tasted like detergent. Würg!
Moreover verwurschtelt at my copy of the silicone seal between the plastic head and the metal pot used. So probably not sealed. This can be seen only with a flashlight and a dental mirror. Is namely behind the edge above / collar hidden. Since liquid and coffee grounds / tea leaves in the interstices would then quickly collect and probably make fungal cultures.
But now do not care - from the pot wants from us anyway no more drink!
Requires someone a "thermo-watering" for his houseplants?
