HIWARE 1500ml Glass Teapot with Removable Infuser, Stovetop Safe Tea Kettle, Blooming and Loose Leaf Tea Maker Set

Update- I did an exchange for a new teapot. That process was too easy and fast. UPS'd the one with the defective knob yesterday and received the new one today. Seems like the lid on this one is far less tight, so I'm feeling good about the knob staying on. I bumped it up to 5 stars. I just really like the infuser, the teapot shape, and size (not too big). Glad it worked out that I ended up with it. -------- I originally bought this tea pot for a gift. If the Amazon delivery person didn't toss the box onto my driveway and crush the outer and inner product box, my friend would have been writing this review, not me. Anyhow, since the teapot inside the product box was really well insulated with foam it survived the ordeal. So, I decided to keep it and give a gift card to my friend. Now, after only 3 days of use the knob on the lid came apart. What a disappointment. The knob is fastened to the lid with what looks like a regular 3/4" steel wood screw. Inside the knob's base is some sort of plastic and that broke apart dislodging small pieces of plastic that contaminated a good Japanese Sencha brew. Apart from this unfortunate product failure I really like the teapot. The borosilicate glass body holds up well - I used it with Medium heat on our electric stove top and in our microwave oven. I like the look, which is why I purchased it for a gift. The infuser is stamped with 304 which is more like 18% chromium and 8% nickel, that is 18/8, versus the 18/10 mentioned in the Amazon description. No big deal to me. The infuser works well keeping the leaves and grit away from the beverage and it is also easy to clean. Now I have to decide what to do with the teapot, as I can't use it without a knob to remove the lid.

Very cute and good quality. Works perfectly and looks beautiful. I’m very happy with my purchase!

Hot handle. The glass did have black burn from the fire stove. But that's just cosmetic. It worked great for 4 years until it broke. We drink tea in seasons... when the herbs are out and strong! The strainer was great. It was easy to clean. The size seemed sufficient for a large family. I'm debating buying it again. It looks like many people spoke of how theirs broke as well. That just might be the cost of a glass teapot. (But I like that you can see it's not rusting and nothing's growing in it!). So is it a production issue or is it just simply that it's glass? I think it's just glass.

I wanted to try a glass teapot that could be used on a stove but not to heat water in. I use an electric tea kettle that has individual temps for white, oolong, herbal, black, etc. teas & I'd be lost without it to set the right temp BUT I have a new glass top stove with a center burner that is devoted to keeping things warm. That's where this teapot is worth every penny spent!! I make my choice of the day tea (I only buy loose tea so am particular about the quality, source, etc.) using the electric kettle but after that, the teapot goes right on that warming burner on its lowest temp and my tea remains PERFECT until its gone. I'm so thrilled to have it stay gently warm. The flat bottom is just perfect and I wish I'd had this years ago. Except for my clay pots, I don't have to cover anything with a tea towel to keep it warm. The size is good for a day's tea for me. With arthritis in my hands, I can't tell you how well the square top handle shape works for me. No more slipping. The only suggestion I'd make to the manufacturer is to change the top knob on the lid from aluminum to wood or something that doesn't get so hot. Once you brew a full pot, that lid gets really hot & you need to use a small cloth to open it if you're using the basket or just holding it in place as you pour. The top part of the lid also expands with heat and you have to tug to get it out. Once it cools, it comes right out. The glass part & the strainer work beautifully but some rethinking of the very top knob would be nice. Overall, that hot knob isn't a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned though because this pot has so many super features & a dynamite shape. Perfect gift item.

I love everything about my new teapot! It's pretty, it pours perfectly without dripping, it's 1 full liter or 34 oz, the lid stays on when pouring, the handle stays totally cool even at a full rolling boil on my glass top electric stove. On a gas stove just keep the flame low to medium, and don't let it go up the outside of the pot, especially by the handle. The handle on the LID gets hot by then, but that doesn't bother me - no need to touch it before pouring anyway, and using a small hot pad is no big deal. If you watch my video, no, I do not normally boil my tea while brewing it, but I thought the video would show up better that way. The video shows how the handle stays cool, but I can't quite lift the lid because the knob is hot. This pot will boil one full liter without boiling over or coming out of the spout at all. As for dripless pouring, you can MAKE it drip if you try to barely dribble it out of the spout, but you wouldn't do that. Just pour it slowly or normally and not one drop will dribble. The tea filter-strainer works perfectly - it goes in and lifts out easily. The lid fits and stays in with or without the filter in place. I didn't get any residue in the bottom of the pot I brewed. If you use your pot on the stove, I would have a silicone hotpad or something nearby to set the pot on, so you don't cause thermal shock and risk breakage by setting hot glass on a cool surface. The instruction leaflet is well done and clear - do take a minute to read it before use, to protect your pretty pot and keep yourself safe. It came well package and looks very nice - I would be happy and proud to give this as a gift!

I went through a bunch of kettles before I landed on this one. This is the one! The top is metal, it doesn't fall off when pouring, the bottom is flat and perfect width, the handle is correctly designed and easy to use, and pour spout works correctly. You don't need anything else. Price is good! Buy it! NOTE: They should make the throat a little stronger... If you boil only a bit of water, then try to pour it, it will crack the throat (happened to me)... so be careful... pour slowly... in that case.

This is the most beautiful teapot I have ever owned. The filter is wonderful; the holes are so fine that even the smallest tea leaves do not get through. I love that the filter basket can be removed when the tea is done steeping, and yet the lid can be replaced. The pot looks elegant with or without the filter. The collar, lid and filter basket fit perfectly into the pot, and the filter has a little metal handle that allows it to be inserted and removed with ease. The pouring spout is wonderful. It has a nice opening - not too narrow, not too wide, and pours a delicate stream with no drips! (The tea even SOUNDS pretty when it is poured from this spout. Sort of musical.) There is little notch in the end of the spout, which seems to prevent dripping. The size of the teapot is just right; you could probably get 4-5 medium-sized cups of tea from a full pot. (Any more than that, and it would turn ice cold before you had a chance to drink it, anyway. Supposedly, you can heat this pot on a gas or electric burner, but I wouldn’t dare.) The handle is very comfortable to hold while pouring, and gets warm but not hot. My only concern about the teapot is that the glass is very thin and delicate. I am afraid it would crack very easily if I were to bump it againt the faucet or any other hard surface. The instructions that come with the pot warn you to be very careful with the teapot when handling it, and they recommended that you store it in the original packaging (in a bubble wrap bag, placed inside a box). That is what I am doing, and I would advise everyone else who purchases this teapot to do likewise. Fortunately, the box is not very big, and it will not take up much room in your cupboard. When setting the teapot down on the kitchen counter, I am careful to cushion with a towel or discloth it so that it doesn’t break. (If you have granite, marble or cement countertops, that will be a must.) I realize all of this special handling probably sounds like too much work, but it’s really no trouble at all. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again, for myself or for a gift. Heck, I like it so much that I may pick up one or two spares, just in case I break it some day. At only $17.99, it’s a steal!

My journey with the HIWARE 1000ml Glass Teapot has been nothing short of delightful. A tea aficionado at heart, I was intrigued by this tea kettle's potential to enhance my tea brewing experience. I embarked on this venture with hopeful curiosity, and I must say, it has been a rewarding affair. This teapot is more than just a vessel to make tea; it's a confluence of aesthetics, functionality, and the art of brewing. Though the teapot brings a lot to the table, there are a few areas where I believe it could be improved. I present to you my thorough review, highlighting the stellar features of this teapot and offering some suggestions for enhancement. 🌱🍵 Elegant Glass Design: Elevating the Art of Brewing: What immediately caught my eye is the exquisite glass design of the HIWARE teapot. The transparent glass not only allows you to observe the steeping process but also transforms it into a visual spectacle. It truly is a sight to behold, watching the tea leaves unfurl and bloom, releasing their color and aroma. The teapot's graceful design adds an element of sophistication to any setting. 🌿🌀 Removable Infuser: Unleashing the Full Potential of Tea Leaves: The removable infuser is a masterstroke of convenience and utility. It makes it easier than ever to brew loose-leaf tea, blooming tea, or tea bags. The large infuser ensures that the tea leaves have enough space to expand, thereby allowing them to release their full flavor and aroma. This feature allows me to experiment with various tea blends and enjoy the diversity of flavors. 🔥⚖️ Stovetop Safe: Brewing with Ease and Confidence: I appreciate the versatility that this teapot offers. It is stovetop safe, which means I can directly heat water in it, eliminating the need for a separate kettle. It is perfect for both gas and electric stovetops. This feature adds convenience to my daily tea rituals. 💧🌟 Generous Capacity: Serving More than Just a Cup: The 1000ml capacity is ideal for serving multiple cups of tea, making it a perfect companion for gatherings, tea parties, or simply indulging in multiple cups of tea. It lets me share my favorite blends with friends and family, adding warmth and comfort to our conversations. While the teapot excels in many areas, there is room for improvement: 🔎🖐️ Fragile Glass: Handle with Care: The delicate glass design, while aesthetically pleasing, is somewhat fragile. Extra care is needed when handling and cleaning the teapot to avoid breakage or damage. A more robust glass or a protective frame could be a welcome addition. 🌡️💭 Heat Retention: Keeping the Warmth Alive: Although the teapot holds heat reasonably well, it cools down faster than I would like. A thermal insulating cover could be a great addition to maintain the ideal temperature for a longer time. In summary, the HIWARE 1000ml Glass Teapot earns a deserving 4-star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟. The minor shortcomings do not detract from its overall charm and functionality. It brings elegance, convenience, and versatility to the art of brewing, offering a holistic tea experience.

As we journey through the myriad flavors of tea, let's celebrate the beauty of brewing and the joy of sharing. Happy sipping! 🍵🌿🌺

It is perfect for couple of tea cups. It looks very fragile but it handled well the boiling water! The filter is thick and no residue is transfer in the tea.

Looks really good in my stove quite handy and it does good job

Good enough

I poured hot water and it cracked on the spot with hot water pouring from the bottom

Kettle looks beautiful to buy but Item received completely shattered inside the box. Outside box was ok but all glass kettle crystals were falling out. So disappointing .
