Toptier Cast Iron Teapot, Stovetop Safe Japanese Cast Iron Tea Kettle, Diamond Design Tea Pot with Removable Infuser for Loose Tea, 40 Ounce (1200 ml), Blue

Not very big but for some, the perfect size. It looks very nice, is well built and should last a very long time. I definitely recommend!

I love this. The color and shape are beautiful. Very heavy. No issues.

I love this teapot--I bought it because the cast-iron teapot I've been using for years is finally just too small to deal with my caffeine addiction. I haven't really measured the full capacity, but I fill it to about a quarter-inch from the lid and that ends up making roughly 1.5 liters (at least according to the measurement marks on my electric kettle, which I also haven't measured for veracity, so take that with a grain of salt I guess). I don't put my teapots on the stove to heat water in them, though the instructions indicate that you could if you felt brave enough. Instead, I pre-heat the pot by swishing a little bit of hot water around in it for a minute before pouring that out, measuring in my tea leaves, and pouring the boiling water over the top. It stays hot for a good bit by itself, but not really long enough for me to plow through a liter and a half of tea before it goes cold. But herein lies the beauty of a cast-iron pot: setting it on candle or some other kind of warmer (I have a cast iron candle-holder for this specific purpose, which came with my old teapot). With an outside heat source to keep it going, it stays hot for hours. Without, it's hot for around 30 to 40 minutes, so if you're making tea for two or more people that will probably be long enough to enjoy about a few cups apiece without it going lukewarm. The enamel interior is easy to clean (just swish some boiling water around in there and dump it, then dry it with a soft cloth to be on the safe side) and the design is absolutely beautiful. My only complaint is that it's hard to get the brew basket out of the teapot opening; it lays completely flush to the rim for the lid, and to save myself burning the hell out of my fingers I've started using the thinnest edge of a metal spoon to lever the basket up enough to get a grip on it. You could just leave it in until you've emptied the pot, if you're less of a wuss about over-steeped tea than I am.

Great little teapot. Will definitely boil on a regular wood stove. If you are using this as a way to humidify, I doubt any kettle would work unless you’re wood stove and living stove is very small. I can only maintain humidity with a 1 gallon open top pot on the stove. That’s running the regency f2500 in a large open area (400ftsq room connected to open kitchen/dining area). For tea, I don’t see why not? I don’t use it for that. Watch for rust, though.

Despite what this says, after some googling, I discovered you are only supposed to brew tea in here, not boil water. It says in the description that it is stovetop safe, but in the Engrish instructions, it vaguely hints this is not the best idea. A few searches lead me to the fact that if it has a different interior than the exterior, it is not all cast iron and not made for the stovetop. Cons: ~The Diffuser is mesh junk. Literally looks like it'd only be good for straining spaghetti or catching stuff at the bottom of the sink after washing dishes. Tons of leaves got through. I have a real diffuser that I bought separately that I love, and I recommend buying ANYTHING else. It also has no handle or anything to remove the diffuser with, so that's another issue if you literally have nothing else. It'll work in a pinch if it's all you have, but please if you buy this, buy a diffuser with it! ~ It tiny. It's cute and little and I love it for that, and I'll get about three cups of tea out of it for my 5ML cup. I wouldn't use it if you're wanting a huuge amount of tea, but it's great for a small serving. ~has a weird smell when first running boiling water in it Pros: ~It's great for a small serving. Just pouring tea for myself, it has plenty. ~It's neat. It's got a cool look and being all iron it's heavy and weighty and feels nice for the price. ~It keeps your tea HOT. Like wow, it's super hot. I like that I don't have to rush to enjoy my tea. ~The coloring seems even and even if it's not being used it'll look cool sitting somewhere. ~It pours nicely, and doesn't seem to spill or threaten to drop the lid the moment you tilt it. ~Could probably take out two or three people charging at you with it while you make tea. Overall it's nice. I just brewed my first pot of tea, and despite the horrible diffuser, (which is the reason for no five stars) it's a good teapot. I did as suggested in the instructions and what I found online, and poured boiling water in first, swished it around, and then poured it out and then made tea with new boiling water. There is a weird smell when you first boil water in it, almost familiar, kind of smells like a department store. Regardless, I'd suggest making sure to run a couple of boiling water flushes through it just to make sure you don't have to worry about anything. The tea tastes great, despite all the little tea leaves floating around inside. I'm pretty happy with it, of course I'll amend that if it insults my dog or melts from the inside out or something. But for the moment, it seems like a good tea brewer. Just be sure to heat the water elsewhere first, and I'm sure this'll last for quite some time. On opening, it seems neat, and dries quickly. I like it and currently would recommend it.
