With so many teapots you have a choice: Either: a) Pour tea at the speed of a rheumatic snail... Or (b) pour tea into the cup quickly, and simultaneously flood the surrounding work surface. Grrrr..... But with this teapot, the spout actually works as it should! It pours quickly, smoothly and efficiently. (The resident engineer says it's something to do with the length and the angle...) Each member of the family independently noticed this and we all LOVE the teapot.
The filter is easily removed for use with teabags, and has a mesh that is fine enough for non-fortune-telling leaf tea.
My only complaint is that 34-ounce seems to be the largest size available and it's relatively small when the house is full of tea guzzlers. I really wish I could buy an additional "large-capacity" version!

I was searching for an insulated stainless teapot because I want a sturdy pot I don't have to worry about breaking, and I like to make a pot of tea (at least a liter) and come back an hour later for the last cup. I researched on the internet and thought I had found my insulated pot, but alas it is not double walled like I thought it was. This being said, it does stay warm longer than my boyfriend's cast iron pot. It has a long skinny basket inside with a handle on the top. At times the basket is hard to clean, but because it hangs so deep in the pot, I could make a half a pot of tea if I wanted (who wants half a pot when a whole pot will do?). The spout pours very well, no drips, and I keep the heat in with a makeshift cork in the spout and a dish towel draped over the pot. This teapot has already traveled to a bed and breakfast for a nice cuppa in the morning, and am planning on taking it on another, longer trip later in the month. Just add tea and hot water!Best Deals for Frieling Primo Teapot with Infuser, 34-ounce
So I got this pot because it looks awesome. I love the capacity and design. Before I started to use it, I put it in the dishwasher to clean it. It says dishwasher safe, so in it went. I then pulled it out and put some tea in it, a little hot water, and voila! A nice cuppa and I thought I was done. The next thing I know there is liquid leaking around the bottom of the pot. After a little inspection, I realize that there is a circumferential crack where the sides of the tea pot meet the bottom and tea is leaking out of it. It appears the seam wasn't really sealed at all. The pot is made in China, and so I don't know if it's really great quality. I'm not sure if I want to take my chances again.Honest reviews on Frieling Primo Teapot with Infuser, 34-ounce
This teapot looks smaller than online when it arrives, but the quality of the pot is terrifice and justifies the price! The stainless steel is thick, sturdy, and well-brushed to a shine; and there are no awkward or ill-fitting areas of joining metal. The pot has a nice weight to it and clearly would pour well as other reviewers claim that it does. Seems to me that it ought to keep tea warm awhile, although I have yet to try it. The staineless steel insert has a very fine grillwork or net--better than in pots in many gourmet cookware stores. It ought to make for great brewing; and the same fine net or grillwork is in the area that pours, obviously to catch stray tea leaves.Seems an excellent pot!--Addition to this review on Oct 20, 2011: I have tried the pot and it works fine and keeps tea very warm for at least 1-2 hours without a tea cosey. It does collect water inside such that if you wash it and rinse it and turn it upside down in a dish drying rack, some water will remain in the pot. You have to pour the water out through the pouring spout.

I have had a lot of ceramic teapots and have either cracked or broken them so after research my husband found this teapot and I LOVE it...you won't be disappointed as it is the best tea pot I have ever used. I plan to get one for my daughter as she loves to drink tea too.
