The teapot is basically intended for one use only, and that is the Japanese method of preparation through a fabric filter, where you will really appreciate the extreme accuracy of this teapot (and, paradoxically, the fact that the water loses temperature relatively quickly). Functionally, it is simply a normal piece of sheet metal shaped into a teapot. I would recommend a small (1 cup) Hario Woodneck to those interested. The main advantage is of course the price, because for a similar use a kettle usually costs at least twice as much or more. It is also suitable as a "pot to go" because it is small and light. I also dripped with her outside in nature. If I had to criticize something, it could be that it could have a more drop-resistant surface (it suffers on gas) and there is also a minor design flaw that you cannot completely pour out the entire pot (a little remains at the bottom, if you don't want to slurp it there). But for the money...
