Review on Glass Pitcher 1800ML Borosilicate Beverage by Mike Sutherland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

really cool! but a little less than you think.

The square teapot is very pretty. I love expensive Yunnan tea and never want my tea to touch anything plastic. I like that it's just glass and metal. It's a bit strange but I think since there are 3 sizes in the selected options you get the impression that the largest is 'big' but it isn't. The option selected says 25 oz but once you buy it it says 22 oz. I'm not familiar with ounces, but a good guideline is that a regular coffee mug weighs around 8 or 9 ounces, and a large oversized coffee mug weighs around 11 ounces. This means that the largest version of this teapot holds around 2 cups of tea, which seems a bit small for the largest version. but this is perfect for me, I like to make personal portions and have 2-3 cups of tea in the morning while I work. This teapot allows me to appreciate the beauty of tea and does not use porous materials. I know this is shown on a stove with a gas burner but I don't think I will ever do that with this kettle. The glass is quite thin but appears to be tempered. this seems perfect for pouring, I always boil the water separately. I had a pyrex in the oven that broke when it changed temperature too quickly, so I don't think I'll ever put it directly on the burner as listed. but I'm not criticizing that aspect as I don't intend to try it. Look at my photo, I hold the pencil next to it perpendicularly and you can see the largest size is not even higher than the pencil. It's the perfect size for me, but if I hadn't googled the number of ounces in a coffee mug I would definitely have bought a medium or smaller and was disappointed that it only holds one cup. ***Update*** I didn't know there was a 32oz version, a fourth option! However, I like what I have as it comes down to how much tea I drink per day.

Pros
  • Carafes and jugs
Cons
  • Only available in white
