Doesn’t pour properly
This is what is claimed by the company: “ A perfect pourEnjoy pouring each cup with this teapot's wide and comfortable handle.”This is NOT my experience. As soon as you tip the pot to pour ou, tea dribbles down the outside of the spout and on to the kitchen worktop. I’d send it back, but of course we’ve now used it and having had trouble with Amazon accepting the return and replacement of a previous faulty item, I really can’t be bothered with another battle!Such a shame as otherwise I quite like it. The stainless steel removable loose tea holder looks to be of good quality, though we don’t use it and it’s a good size for two large cups of tea - even allowing for the bit that misses the cup!

Solid, but uncomfortable to hold and doesn't pour very well
When the pot arrived I filled it with water and poured it out into the sink and immediately noticed that it wasn't very comfortable to hold and that there is no gradual transition from a gentle pour to a gushing stream, it just switches from one to the other. The best way to pour into a cup is to rest the end of the spout on the edge of the cup, that way if you trip to the gushing stream it still goes in the cup and not all over the table.It is nice and heavy which helps it keep the tea warm.

Beautifull, practical, a true classic !
I really love those teapots, they are trully beautilluf, and very practical. A pleasure to use. It is just a shame that they are made in China, and not in England. I like to have chinese teapots made in China and english teapots made in England. I would have gladly paid more for a teapot of this design and quality if it was made in the UK.

Terrible filter
I've got the 2 cup white tea pot and the filter scratches the pot and leaves nasty marks around the top which cannot be removed - at actually came with some of these scratches. When the filter is in place it pushes the lid to the side so it sits awkwardly, removing the filter is a faff and not particularly safe with a small pot. Why they couldn't just have a standard filter beats me - I'm really disappointed.

Like the infuser but can’t get a hpt brew
Purchased to replace a London Teapot that I accidentally broke and a pot I loved.The in-built infuser works well and has encouraged me to go back to tealeaves. I’d forgotten how much better leaf tea is. But it is difficult to get a hot brew with this pot. It is possible but one has to 3/4 fill it with boiling water and let the pot stand for 2-3 minutes, boil the kettle again and make tea in the usual way to achieve a hot cuppa.I do like the infuser which works well, is less hassle than a tea strainer and cleans easily. The infuser also clips the lid in place so no risk of it falling out when pouring.The spout is quite thick and pouring is restricted to 6-7mm diameter flow which is o.k., but slow. It is necessary to hold the spout over the pot when pouring as it drips.Would I buy again, a definite ‘no’ because I have ordered a different make and will decide whether this one goes to landfill or to store as a spare.

Great teapot
I like this teapot, I bought it for my husband as he drinks a lot of tea I personally only drink coffee (lol). The great thing about this teapot is that the infuser pot is great for putting a teabag in and also easy to take out so you don't have to find it in the pot.Thus teapot is the correct size for a 2 mugs/cups of tea, the last one was only 2 small cups of tea so was a bit of a pain.Went for the brown colour so that it doesn't look a mess when its been used. The spout pours very well and doesn't leave a mess over your side.Would highly recommend this teapot, a happy husband means I get an easy life especially as he works from home since this lockdown.

Fantastic product for the price
First things first - if you're expecting the finest teapot with the world's best finish and materials then you might want to look elsewhere. This is a mass produced teapot that does everything it should do perfectly.Overview: It is extremely large (I bought the 6 cup version) and has a metal tea leaf strainer (not sure if that's the correct word for it when it resides in the teapot).Pros: The spout is excellent: you really have to try hard to get it to dribble down the side of the pot.The metal strainer reaches to the bottom of the pot so that if you only want a small quantity then that's fine.The holes on the strainer are fine, meaning that if your tea leaves and very small and granular (like the Twinings ones in particular I find) then you still don't get any particulate matter in the tea.It is solidly made and will last a very long time if you wash it well.It seems to be more than capable of keeping tea hot for a long time (I do always make sure to preheat it first with boiling water).Cons:The finish on the inside is not perfect but that is to be expect at this price. What I mean by this is that there a few lumps and bumps on the inner surface, but those won't be visible to anyone.If you're perhaps quite dainty and planning on using this to fill up to the brim then please take care as it will be heavy. This is not a con of the product as such, just a consequence of the laws of physics.If you're considering a large teapot and don't want to spend a fortune, go for this. You will not regret it.

London Pottery Filter Teapot
Since receiving the above teapot a couple of days ago I have had the best cups of tea in years. I had forgotten how a good cup of tea can taste with loose tea.The teapot itself is as described and pours without any drips. Lovely quality and would recommend to anyone.
