Fabulous Product: A Must Have for Tea Enthusiasts, October 22, 2004
I'm so glad to have found this personal kettle that I'll probably purchase another for the office or keep in my car, or maybe even give some away as gifts. There is nothing like it on the market from Bodum or any of the other name manufacturers. It's totally easy to make great tea through the infuser component (no more filters and strange, messy contraptions). The infuser is large enough so that the tea has room to expand.
And everything comes apart easily for cleaning and is quite unlikely to break. The kettle has a nice weight and non-skid bottom, easy to pour handle, the size is about a half-liter (1.5 hefty U.S. mugs full) -- and it keeps tea hot for hours. There is no leaking during pouring, unless the gasket comes off when cleaning and hasn't been put back in place correctly. I can't say enough good things about this product that all loose tea lovers should have and keep for many years.
About Timolino, as some other customers have noticed, their shipping is not terribly fast, I guess unless you're on the west coast. So don't wait too long to order, if you're in a hurry. But the product arrived well packed. The box was acceptable for gift giving. For the price, the Travette and company definitely deserve 5 stars plus: *****+.
Someone heard what tea drinkers really need and actually manufactured it!

Excellent product!, November 27, 2006
I bought one of these for myself and one for my mother. We both love it! Now I'm back to get one for my sister so I can have mine back.
It keeps my tea piping hot for hours. My only reservation is: if you fill the pot to the top with water it is a little difficult to remove the brewing basket (I use the point of a sharp knife to get it out). Other than that, it is wonderful and very easy to use.
I definitely suggest getting the detachable travel mug lid (~$2.00) if you want to pull off the brewing basket/serving lid and take this pot with you as a 20 oz. travel mug.
I have had this for about 6 months and use it every day.

just like the Timolino 20 oz. @tanium II only better, December 14, 2006
I had been looking for the Timolino 20 oz. @tanium II Vacuum Travel Mug only to discover that it wasnt on the market anymore.
This travette is the same... just better. the filter is easy to use, the spout doesn't drip and its ideal for the loose leaf tea lover. When combined with the travel lid which can be bought seperately it is identical to the titanium II mug.
