Five Star Reviews: | 79% I can't say enough good things about this teapot May 5, 2017 I can't say enough good things about this teapot. Someone bought this for me as a gift, and as soon as I received it and used it a few times, I went to Amazon and bought two to keep as gifts. I love that you can use it with both bagged and looseleaf tea. It's a plus that you can put it in the microwave because the entire teapot is made of glass. I wouldn't microwave the strainer, however. It's great that you can create two cups worth with a single serving of tea leaves or a teabag. The handle is large and makes it easy to hold the teapot. And it looks beautiful - very dainty. Beautiful and Functional June 7, 2016 Once in a while, you find something that takes function to an art. This is one of those things. Perfect size for two large mugs of tea, easy to see if the tea has steeped well, and very easy to clean. The basket holds the loose leaf tea and is easy to just spray out. No need for a tea ball, and the mesh is very fine so not much leaf or crumbs in my drink. Also beautiful to look at. I have already given away one of my old fashioned ceramic teapots, and am waffling on getting rid of the other two, this is so much more efficient and pleasant to use. Will probably keep one for the very rare occasion I need to make a larger pot of tea. Nearly Perfect September 14, 2015 I used to make large pots of tea because I didn't know any better. Since learning that good loose tea can be re-steeped several times I've been searching for the best teapot. For whatever reason this little gem never crossed my path. I've tried a number of different pots, including some pricey ones, and I've never been completely satisfied.I found out that Hario makes teapots when I was considering trying one of their coffee servers for brewing tea. Needless to say I ordered it right away and haven't looked back.It's absolutely the perfect size. It makes one normal mug of tea or two smallish cups at a time. Steep it 2-4 times and you've got a whole pot worth using a fraction of the leaves.The mesh filter is extremely fine, but I generally don't use it because the spout is very well designed. The leaves mostly stay down in the main body and don't flow out with the tea when you pour it. Unlike some pots, the lid doesn't require the basket to fit properly which is great. It pours very cleanly without dripping, which a surprising number of teapots don't get quite right.The one thing that could be a little better is the thickness of the glass. As some other reviewers have noted it's pretty thin. I'd happily pay more for a version with thicker glass, but with a little care it's not really a problem, especially considering how cheap it is.Overall a great value on the best everyday small teapot I've found. Improved brain function! August 17, 2015 That's right, this teapot improves your brain function. Because you have to concentrate so much, so you don't break it! It's a glass tea pot, so one miss handling will have you ordering another one. I've use this teapot everyday for the past 2 weeks and I absolutely admire it!Anyone can love it, but how many admire it. It's perfectly engineered for my needs.Well it has a relatively small profile, when using 1 tbl of loose green tea, it yields exactly 3 cups of tea. So for me, it's exactly the right amount to make my daily fresh ginger and green tea drink. Which, if I say so myself, is delicious.Freshly grated ginger, green tea, lemon juice and honey. The big mesh bowl allows both the green tea leaves and then the grated ginger to effiently release their befenifical nutrients. The glass top fits perfectly over the rim of the meshed bowl, that not a speck of ginger or green tea leaf pours into my mug. All the components are easily cleaned. So that suits my inner Monkness. This is a teapot, not a tea kettle, so don't try to use it on a stovetop. If you stay in the moment and handle the teapot with extreme care, you won't regret this purchase. It makes a perfect (3) cup of tea. Super Duper February 19, 2014 I usually don't leave reviews for products. Almost never. Actually this might be my first. This should tell you something - to ignore my spelling mistakes and other signs of general illiteracy.But this teapot is fantastic. Some demographic info: I'm a 21 year old man, freshly adult, and recently turned tea snob. So naturally I need a teapot to accompany, nay supplement my loose leaf, nose upturned, calling-tea-color-liqueur lifestyle. Previously I had been brewing my tea in a thermos with a little mesh insert, a practice that if employed by anyone else I would surely mock brazenly.First impressions - I had read almost all of the reviews and some of them had mentioned that this teapot is rather small. When I opened it, I thought to myself "this teapot is rather small". But once I stilled my beating heart and actually made some tea I realized that it's pretty much the perfect size. Filling it close to the top, with a comfortable margin, I get enough tea for two very full mugs, and in my frugally heated apartment the pot keeps the tea piping hot for the second mugful.The basket is nice and large. I've heard others say that this is necessary for the leaves to swim, luxuriate, mingle, copulate, bask in their collective consciousness. Shoot me if I ever anthropomorphise tea leaves like that. But it is nice to have a big basket so that the water actual reaches the center leaves. To that end, it would've been nice if they included a diving board so that the leaves could indulge their inner child (or bud, if you will), but now I'm splitting hairs.It's made of glass, so it's breakable. I haven't broken mine yet, but I reserve the right to in the future, hopefully during the height of an argument. I think it'll shatter very well, but that's just speculation at this point.Only complaint (very minor) is that the handle is kind of hard to grip when the pot is full of hot tea. My hand has a tendency to slip down and touch the hot pot. But I just changed the way I held it, and that's been working well. I'm actually glad, I was getting a little set in my ways.Bottom line - buy it. It's not a samovar, but for one or two people (I can dream, can't I?) it's perfect. Very aesthetically pleasing, functional, the mesh is plenty fine, even rooibos can't sneak through, and I've had almost no stems get stuck. It's top rated for a reason. super cute December 11, 2012 perfect! this is my first glass teapot...or just teapot, ever! I'm so glad i got this. i like its pleasant round, squat shape. it's cute and delicate and i will take care of it. i already made peppermint tea with honey. Makes tea drinking special :) definitely recommend! | 77% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 12% This is such a good product. Gives you about 3 standard mug size ... March 16, 2017 This is such a good product. Gives you about3 standard mug size coffee cups or two good sizemugs. Had a friend over and we had leftovertea. Only reason I do't give 5 stars is because itdoes leave a small amount of tea leaves thatsink to the bottom but I don't see this as a dealbreaker. It's such an insignificant amount it reallydoes not matter. Hope this helps. Simple thin glass teapot with infuser November 17, 2016 Nice teapot for watching loose tea leaves steep with or without the infuser. Many tea aficionados enjoy seeing the dance of the leaves and/or watching the color develop to the preferred strength. The infuser is the largest I have seen, especially for such a small pot. The glass is crystal clear and delicate.....very thin which means I don't use it for my every day tea ( that's the reason 4 stars not 5 ). I use my sturdy little Forlife teapot for daily tea; However, I do not regret buying it because it's simple, functional and pretty. Nice personal size teapot December 16, 2015 I really like the Hario Chacha Kyusu Maru Tea Pot, 700ml. I was a little hesitant to purchase this item because it looks like fragile glass and several other reviewers stated that it was fragile. Since I received it, I have used it daily for two months and haven't managed to break it yet. It is the perfect size for my needs as the sole tea drinker in my home. I get two tea cups of tea from each full pot and have yet to have a disappointing brew. If you are looking for a teapot to serve several people, this is not for you. One point that I would like to make is that this is DEFINITELY a two handed pour teapot. There is no way to pour using one hand without the strong possibility that the lid will slide off in mid-pour. Other that this flaw, I love this little teapot. Makes lots of hot tea, filters out all but the smallest tea leaf particles. June 16, 2015 This is a great medium-sized teapot for brewing loose tea. I use gunpowder green tea, which I think has almost no bitter taste at all, and the leaves have plenty of room to spread out and steep in this pot. The fine mesh is small enough to keep most of the loose tea leaves out of your cup except for the smallest tea particles, and the size surprisingly fills a teacup four or five times if you fill it all the way up.The one drawback is it gets pretty heavy when filled with hot water, and the thin glass handle is a little difficult to hold onto while keeping the pot steady and level. The result is my hand sometimes slides down the handle and one of my fingers will graze the outside of the glass, which is REALLY hot. Besides a slightly burnt knuckle every once in a while, I do love this teapot.It's taken a bump or two against some metal cooking utensils and a hard stone counter top and not shattered, so I'm hoping it will stay intact for many many years. Excellent teapot, though the strainer can be hard to clean thoroughly January 12, 2015 Excellent teapot! Love the simple design and the lightweight glass. Have managed not to drop it or hit it yet, so I can't speak to the fragility issue some people have had.The one flaw for me was the strainer basket design. Overall the strainer functions perfectly well as an infuser and leaves only very fine tea particles in your cup.The problem is that the mesh is connected to the steel rim of the strainer in such a way that it tends to hold onto leftover tea particles. This may or may not be a problem for people using washing machines, but I wash everything the old fashioned way, by hand, and it can definitely be a pain to get every last piece of leaf and stem out of there by simply running it under the tap. USE DAILY, NO SPILLS, YAY! January 10, 2014 Lovely teapot.Easy to clean, except for the spout part, but doable.Wish it didn't stain so much, but any teapot would.Glass is always pleasant to look at (if you keep it clean)Can pour with just one hand, placing thumb on the lid.I don't really like the spout look, but wow it is practical as it doesn't spill and pours well.Also ordered a smaller 300ml for one person use as this one at time I find a bit too large, since I like to drink a lot of tea but brew small amounts of fresh tea each time.Like Hario brand so far and use three different teapots so far, one at work. | 17% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 4% Misleading Advertising, but OK Product September 26, 2017 This tea pot seems to work fine. I've been using it for quite a while now. However, the company advertised it as being made in Japan. The pot itself may be made in Japan, but the strainer it came with was made in China, so I will have to deduct 2 stars for the false advertising. If anyone knows of a lead-free teapot with no plastic that touches the hot water which is made in a country that produces products with a better reputation for quality and safety than China, please let me know! I still haven't found it. Pros and Cons December 10, 2016 The pros are: it is great for making about 2 cups of tea, so it's nice for sharing tea; see-through, so it is good for watching leaves unfurl and expand. Also, I am able to infuse tiny, Japanese tea leaves without getting so many leaves in the liquid; and the infuser is easy to clean. Cons: the tea doesn't stay very warm because of the thin glass and the exposed space at the pour spout; I have to be extremely careful when washing the pot and lid because they are so delicate and thin. If you're clumsy, keep searching... October 2, 2016 I don't trust this tea pot. The glass is SO thin, I'm afraid to touch it. A pro is the fact it's clear, so I can see when the water is starting to boil. But if I look away & it starts boiling too much, it shoots out of the spout. When pouring my tea, it's awkward to hold it with a pot holder on the thin handle. And I'm always afraid the glass top is going to come flying off & break. I like a big cup of tea, & this pot accommodates that need. But if you're at all clumsy, this is definitely not the tea pot for you! Arrived without a lid! August 5, 2016 I just got mine yesterday, but it came without a lid! I've seen that many others have reported the same thing. Before ordering, I would ask the seller to double check before shipping.I have to disagree with other reviewers who write that the teapot cannot accommodate 2 people. The unit holds about 2 3/4 cups of water. The cup I use isn't a mug, but it isn't a tiny tea cup either. I would advise new users to warm up their cups first so that the tea will stay hot.I hope this helps someone. I started making loose peppermint tea and absolutely love it. It's my nightcap :) I've had great experiences with Hario products in the past April 30, 2016 I already broke this glass pot. I've had great experiences with Hario products in the past. The glass was more delicate than I would've liked. I'll buy a different tea pot next time. Beautiful, but not functional. April 29, 2016 This is a beautiful tea pot and one of the larger ones I could find on Amazon. With that said, given the size of the strainer, there isn't a lot of room for actual tea. Another thing to be careful of is that the glass feels so frail and thin rather than well supported. I really feel like it is not durable enough to withstand much so extra care is necessary. Beautiful, but not functional. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 2% Tea for 3 - no more, no less. June 21, 2017 This tea pot looks very nice, and it works great - if you happen to be serving tea for exactly 3 people! It works ok for 2, but you can't use it alone! The strainer doesn't reach far enough down unless there's a lot of water in it - if you put in 8 or even 10 oz of water, the tea barely gets wet. And it can work for 4-5 people only if you're planning to do smaller portions and multiple steepings (which is definitely an option). I guess they want me to buy several in different sizes, which is irritating, since the big one *should* work well for smaller amounts, except for very poor design on their part. poorly designed basket March 13, 2017 The screen is a misery to clean out. Leaf material is caught under the basket rim. Way too fragile. I've had this about 6 months ... October 19, 2016 Way too fragile. I've had this about 6 months, was very, very careful with it and it cracked this morning. Esthetic problem & different infuser than pictured. September 14, 2016 The company logo and other things that should be stamped on the bottom of the pot are instead stamped on the side of the pot. Also, the strainer/infuser doesn't reach down far enough to brew a half pot of tea. What I received has a different strainer/infuser than the one shown in the photograph.Otherwise, fine. It goes in the dishwasher and it's a good size for cutting back on caffeine. Missing part April 30, 2016 I ordered this and I didn't get the lid, everything was in great condition but the lid was missing. Bummmmmer April 21, 2016 I loved this teapot when I first received it. Cute, can watch tea steep, etc. It took two weeks for a crack on the spout to appear, made me think I swallowed glass at some point. Then I tried to steep tea last night there was a huge piece missing from the spout. I don't know the return policy, pretty sure I don't qualify. It was a let down. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 3% cracked and broke in less than 1 month January 30, 2017 I got this and was happy until less than a month the glass cracked and I can't use it. I did not put it in dishwasher, on stove or microwave. Not happy with this purchase at all and went with another brand. Very crappy quality of glass February 10, 2016 A day into using the Tea Pot, the nose broke off. Very crappy quality of glass. Had to throw out the item, totally not worth the money. Missing parts November 5, 2015 When I received the package, the box seemed to have been opened once, and when I checked, there was no top lid inside. The pot itself looked very nice, so I hated that I had to return it. | 2% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
