As noted by the Vorrezensenten is the pot from a processing perspective, not on the highest level: sharp edges, minor scratches on the polished surface, uncosted edge. Since the part is also still made in China, you can already ask whether maximizing profits here is operated at the expense of customers. I'm sure that a pot of comparable quality with IK ** would have for 20. Annoying at the thing I find especially that Alfi generally with its German roots and quality Made in Germany advertises. Admittedly not in this case, since I am myself it fooled.
We have retained the teapot anyway because of the tea strainer. It is by far the best I've seen in a teapot bislange. The holes are even crumbly black fine enough Rooibos does not catch and the pomace is emptied really easy. This makes the Alfi our view then but a good pitcher. Depending on the price everyone must decide for themselves whether this outweighs the disadvantages in processing.
