SweeseTeapot, Porcelain Tea Pot with Stainless Steel Infuser, Blooming & Loose Leaf Teapot - 27ounce, Lilac

The right size for my use and easy to clean.

The mint green color is rich looking. I love the size of this pot and the handle. The chrome basket snaps into place inside the pot. The lid locks into place inside the basket. The porcelain finish is flawless. I just love this pot and wish I found this sooner.

Pros: style, quality, ease to use and removable, washable filter.Not stove safe. Microwaveable but I remove lid/strainer. Dishwasher safe.

I've only had the pot for 1 day but it works fine in general, and I haven't had a problem with significant dripping. Have to wonder if those folks who did were pouring it too fast so tea came out from under the lid, which doesn't attach securely to the pot.And on the lid, I'm not a tea ware engineer, but IMO this isn't well designed for real life usage. It fits nicely into the strainer, which fits nicely into the pot, but remove the strainer and lid slides off the pot easily, so pouring requires two hands if you don't want to risk having the lid end up on the counter or floor. Seems to me that it would have been better to design the lid to stay on the pot without the strainer, even if that means it fits loosely on the strainer. Most people will take the strainer out before pouring tea (at least after the first cup), so the lid/pot secure attachment is most important.Overall I like the pot and will keep it.But while I am opining, why do so many people not seem to understand that this (and others like it) is a tea POT, not a tea KETTLE. You can't boil water in a ceramic teapot or you will get the melting parts or conflagrations that those poor souls have experienced.

Very nice two-cup pot. Love the insert. Good fit, cleans easily, looks nice

Fine mesh infuser allows almost no tea grains into the pot.

great size for two full mugs of tea or ??? Loose tea filter has micro fine holes so no debris in cup.... Love the color !

The media could not be loaded. I've had this teapot for a couple of years and use it a few times a week. It's cute, has a flawless porcelain finish, and is evenly weighted for pouring with a comfortable handle. Generally, I use loose leaf tea instead of tea bags. The stainless steel strainer basket is a little flimsy - I have others that are made of thicker steel - but the mesh is fine enough to catch most of the leaves (like most strainers, a smattering of the finest dust collects at the bottom of the pot).But this pot has a couple of dingbat design features that are finally causing me to shop for another:1) Jiggly freakin' lid. When the infuser basket is removed, the lid moves around when the teapot is inverted to pour. (See the lovely video I've provided.) Not only is this jarring, its DANGEROUS. When the pot is full, the scalding tea can come pouring out of the top of the pot and cascade on you and whatever is under it. I burned myself because of this when I first started using the pot. Either use a tea towel to hold tge pot carefully, including holding the lid down tightly, while pouring. Or, just buy a better pot already.2) Darn drips and dribbles. This thing does not pour smoothly or steadily. The tea comes out in a jagged shoot of liquid that's too fast and sometimes spits little droplets elsewhere. It's difficult to control the flow despite the angle at which one tilts the pot while pouring. Then, the pot dribbles tea when it is lifted up, making a mess that needs mopping. A quality teapot will pour tea in a smooth, sinuous line of liquid that is a beauty to behold without extra drips, and the speed of the pour can be controlled easily. This teapot is *ahem* clearly not quality.Summary: avoid.
