I'm not a fan of plastic and have therefore ordered me this pot. Keeps you warm and in any case is apparently made of stainless steel (outside). However, the handle with hot drinks is sometimes quite warm, which would not be so bad. However, the Deckel..diesen I do not understand. He partially closes. If we make those up with a pretty beautiful mechanism, the lid jumps to when you press it, what (for me anyway) the result has the condensation rumspritzt, you can pour. If the lid is closed, the jug is still not tight, and it can top out flow on all sides. The lid is placed on it in my opinion, rather, so that the heat does not vanishes afloat. The liquid then the lid has well but nothing to do. Had a Giessmechanismus like coffee pots, or the lid really tight when sitting on it (and he would not always jump rapidly), the pot would be worth but otherwise 5 stars.
