4.0 out of 5 stars Would make a nice gift, July 9, 2005

I got this for myself to use at the office, but in retrospect it would have made an excellent gift for my officemate, who also appreciates tea.

The teas: There's a sizeable sample of each--maybe eight cups?--and I am crazy about the Earl Grey. So fragrant. The Yunnan and English Breakfast are nothing extraordinary, as far as I'm concerned, and I hate the Irish Breakfast, but when you need a cuppa, you need a cuppa. They're all being drunk, teaspoon by teaspoon.

The pot: Everybody wants to know what it is. "It's my teapot," I say, and they're confused. Then I get to demonstrate. It makes about two cups, which is not quite enough if you're sharing it between two typical office mugs but plenty if you're drinking it by yourself. I share with my officemate, usually, so we brew it strong and then top off our mugs with more hot water. It's difficult sometimes to get the last couple of tablespoons out of the bottom, and that problem seems to be growing more pronounced with use, but it's not a serious issue. It doesn't leak if handled properly, and it's pretty easy to clean.

In sum, it's a nice set.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this!, July 8, 2006

I use this nearly every day and love it. Previously, I'd been using a strainer over a my tea cup. Now I use the ingenuitea brewer and drip it over my stainless to go cup and it makes the perfect amount! My ex boyfriend had one and when he saw how cool I thought it was, he gave me one. I love my black tea quite strong so what I do is, brew it, drip it into my to go cup and then pour it back into the ingenuitea brewer. Now the to go cup is heated up. I then re drip it once more and the strength is perfect! Add my almond milk and stevia and off I go! It is truly ingenious!

The product works as advertised. However, they size of the container should be a few ounces larger. Because of the space the tea takes up in the container you do not get 2 full cups of tea. Beyond that though it's a great product.
