Frieling USA 18/8 Stainless Steel Teapot with Infuser, Tea Warmer with Teapot Infuser for Loose Tea, 14 Ounces

The smaller version that I chose is just right for a personal teatime. It holds about 3 cups . The handle is easy to grip and it pours without dripping. The strainer allows the use of loose tea and is finely meshed.It’s a quality well-made tea pot that should last for a long time . Plus, its sleek design is admirable.Although it is not double walled it does keep the tea a good temperature for a decent amount of time. Using a tea cosy prolongs the optimal tea temperature.

I ordered this teapot with the creamer and sugar bowl set (comes also with a round, angled sugar spoon) and the tray. What a magnificent tea service set! I absolutely love it. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it feels wonderful, too. It is very high quality stainless steel and I think Frieling is worth every penny. There are no imperfections, seams or blemishes of any kind on any of the pieces. The handles are perfect in size and a man's larger hand would be able to grip them comfortably. The finish is a high shine but it looks very elegant and isn't over the top. The lid of the teapot fits snuggly in the teapot--which is something that is important to me so it doesn't move around or fall off when you are pouring the tea. The tray, creamer and sugar bowl are also of the same high quality material, finish and construction. The sugar bowl comes with an adorable spoon that fits in to the notched bowl, the lid lies perfectly on top. While the creamer is the size of a regular creamer, you can still froth milk in it. I'm very impressed with this set. Frieling has surpassed my expectations. I will update this review soon with details on how long the tea in the teapot stays hot.*UPDATE I poured boiling water into the teapot and made tea. One hour (I set a timer) later the water is still warm. Not hot, but very warm. The teapot pours very nicely and no dripping or spilling out when you pour, even when at the last of the tea.

I purchased the 14 oz one. It is small, of course. Very cute and functional. The steel is thick and this works well to keep the tea warm. I use it with my warmer on the stove. I do not recommend using it on a burner tho and that is not the purpose. No drips. Lid fits tight which allows for 1 handed pouring. The tea strainer/ diffuser is also thicker steel that does not bend easily.

It’s rare that you buy something that just knocks it out of the park and EXCEEDS your expections. This 34 oz stainless steel tea pot with integrated strainer did JUST THAT.The pot looks fantastic, the strainer is fine mesh, sturdy, and of the highest quality, there are two small vent holes at the rim that I’m sure serve some useful purpose, the lid fits perfectly. The capacity is perfect for 4-6 normal cups of tea, or 2 giant tall mugs that drink from. Construction is flawless. Ergonomics are top notch.

I recently purchased the Frieling 18/8 Stainless Steel Teapot with Infuser, and while it has some positive aspects, I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed.Durability: One of the strongest points of this teapot is its durability. The 18/8 stainless steel construction is top-notch and seems built to last. I haven't noticed any signs of rust or corrosion, even after a few months of use, and it retains its polished appearance. I have accidentally knocked it over a couple of times, and it didn't dent or scratch easily. This teapot can take a beating.Design : The design of the teapot is quite straightforward, which can be a pro or a con depending on your preferences. It's sleek and modern, but it lacks the elegance of some other teapots I've seen. The infuser is a nice addition, allowing me to steep loose tea leaves without any mess. However, I found that the handle and spout could be more ergonomically designed. Pouring can sometimes be a bit awkward, and the handle gets quite hot, so I have to use a towel or oven mitt. The worse part is that it doesnt have a whistle, so if you are like me and step away from your kettle to do other things while boiling water. BE WARNED this does NOT whistle.Size and Capacity: The teapot's size is suitable for serving tea for two people, but if you're hosting a larger gathering, it might not be the best choice. I wish it came in different size options. Also, the infuser basket could be a bit larger to allow for more tea leaves or herbs if you prefer a stronger brew.In summary, the Frieling 18/8 Stainless Steel Teapot with Infuser is a durable option for those who prioritize sturdiness and minimalistic design. However, its handling could be improved for better comfort, and a bit more versatility in terms of size and infuser capacity would be appreciated. While it's a decent teapot, I can't say it's the best one I've ever used.

I really love this metal pot. Perfect for one person, with generous two cups of tea.

Love it ! looks pretty, pours perfectly, keeps the tea hot, very satisfied.

Classic design, well balanced, stable, strainer unit great fit and a perfect pourer.

Happy with the purchase. You just need to clean it well to ensure it maintains the shines

Really a great teapot, I'm no tea expert, but for my loose leaf tea it does the job!The metal it's made of seems sturdy. The tea infuser is pretty long, so it allows a good diffusion of the tea.You can make easily 4-5 cups of tea with this teapot.There's no rubber grips - for some people that could be a disadvantage, because it'll make some parts, like the top cover, pretty hot to grip - for me though it's an advantage, because rubber parts on a steel object are prone to fall off, and I like my stuff to last!

The small size teapot is too small doesn't seem to be practical.
