Cast Iron Mat with Rubber Pegs/Feet for Japanese Tea Kettle Cast Iron Teapot Black Trivet 5.3in

I really love this little teapot. I didn't read the measurements so I didn't realize that it was smaller than I expected. It makes approx. 2 cups of tea at a time. The quality is excellent but I do wonder about the string going across the handle as I have a gas stove and I feel I need to keep an eye in case one of the frays from the string catches fire. Could it happen? Yes. Probability? Low, but still. The only thing other than that I would change is I wish it indicated when the water was done. There is no whistle sound so you need to keep an eye on it so it doesn't overflow from the spout.

Super cute. Perfect for one person.

Really beautiful piece. I got this as part of a graduation present for my brother and he loved it. Very sturdy iron with beautiful enameled interior. The hemp cording doesn't seem like it will last too long, but it looked nice.

TLDR: I love it. Everyone comments on it. it makes great tea. I highly recommend. However, water level to avoid boiling over is tricky. Will take some practice to get it right, but totally worth it. What can I say? Literally everyone that walks into the kitchen and sees it loves it and asks about it. Pros: It's really cool. The cast iron keeps it super hot between steepings so you can get a second pot boiling in a fraction of the time of a standard steel or ceramic pot. The tea is great. Cons: The spout length and angle makes getting JUST the right amount of water to steep the tea, but not TOO much water to where it boils up and out of the spout all over your stove, a bit of a hassle at first. The right amout of water will change depending on how hard you boil it and how much tea you put in the basket. Just pay close attention to the water level against the included basked and add more/less until you get it just right for you. It's very small. My smallest burner on my stove top swallows it up and it looks rather comical. Not an issue if you have an older stove or a gas stove. But, if you have a "smart" electric stove you probably won't be able to use a middle heat setting as the burner will be too cool on the outer edges from the heat escaping and it will simply be on full go the whole time. If you have a hot plate or one of the devices I think the manufacturer sells I don't think this would be an issue at all. It's cast iron (also a plus!) So, please do not EVER put this in your dishwasher or soak in the sink. It will rust like crazy. No. Really. If you've never experienced cast iron before, you will know you messed up as soon as you've done it. Hand wash and DRY it with a rag and it should stay super cool looking for as long as you own it. Oh, and don't keep it next to your sink or any other place where there's lots of moisture between uses. Final Thoughts: I just really dig it. It's a bit eclectic in my kitchen and while it WAS a hassle to figure out the exact amount of water/tea for the perfect pot... it was also kind of an adventure that once I got it down, makes it even cooler to me. I will say that it's a bit heavy for it's size due to it being cast iron so, if you have shaky or weak hands and a glass stove... maybe not the best choice. I use it daily and all in all, I'm very pleased with it and I'm happy I have it.

Super cute. Very tiny maybe 1 - 1/2 cups worth of drink capacity. However please read the instructions first. We did not and it was very smokey in the house for a few hours. But all went well afterwards.

Do not buy. While the build quality is good, everything else is bad. You can only fill it up to the half otherwise the water boils out from the spout instead of whistling because its too close to bottom inside. I actually may have tried filling less than half and it still spilled out, i think the vapor hole on the cap is way too small. You cannot really hold it without burning your hand from that same hole because the pot is small and the vapor your hand every time. The spout also works terribly, the water just runs down towards the base of the pot from the spout instead of out into the cup. I really tried everything to make it work because it looks cool. The cover is impossible to hold as its the same material and gets super hot, so be careful if you just try to take out the cover by mistake and you will get burned. The tea container is also crazy hard to take out. Halfway into brewing the black tea I like to take it out or the tea gets too dark. I always need to use two forks or a fork and a knife to take it out as its super hot too. A small handle would have worked great, but nothing works with this pot. Steer clear.

Quality is good, looks solid make but size is much smaller than perceived from the picture. Not going to return for the sake of avoiding wastage of resources. As a green-tea fan, this will last forever.

Very good quality but a little bit heavy

bastante buena

جيددد .. ولكن يحتاج لعملية تنضيف بالزيت وحط بالفرن قبل الاستخدام كي لا يصدأ .. انا ماعملتو بالزيت ف صار فيه صدأ وثقيل جداا

Very good
