| GLASGOW Teapot and Kettle:
With classic and subtle European design notes, the high quality contemporary look of the GLASGOW teapot is an elegant part of any table setting. Its 1 liter (approx 34 fl oz) Capacity is great for 4-5 tea cups at a time. Perfect for an after dinner tea setting, this steeper tea pot is made of medical grade GROSCHE Borosilicate glass that is heat resistant, lightweight, and strong. Perfect for use with a GROSCHE SAHARA Warmer (not included) to keep your tea warm for hours. With the GLASGOW, you can just add more water and allow your tea leaves to re-steep giving you many more great cups of tea to enjoy.
You can also use it without the steeper for flowering teas by removing the strainer. It is top rack dishwasher and microwave safe, and stovetop safe as well for gas/electric (not induction) stoves on low to medium heat. This high quality GROSCHE teapot is guaranteed against ever becoming cloudy even after many, many years of use.
Since it is safe for stovetop use you can boil water in the GLASGOW TeaKettle, and add your favorite loose tea, flowering teas, or tea bags to the teapot to prepare your teas jus the way you like them.
The 1 Litre (33.8 Fl oz.) size makes this a great size for having tea for 2 to 5 people. You can always add water to an emptying kettle to re-steep your teas.
Its a 3 piece set, with the teapot, strainer / Infuser included, and the teapot lid.
It goes great with a SAHARA teapot Warmer (Sold separately).
Brand new, it comes in the original GROSCHE packaging box. |

This teapot did everything I needed it to do. I didn't want a tea kettle to heat the water then and then I would have to pour it in a teapot w/infuser to steep (felt redundant). I wanted the a teapot/kettle to do it all and this fit the bill. While the box does not say anything about being stovetop safe, it is indeed ok to heat on the stove (medium flame).
The infuser works great, and was perfect for serving a pot of tea. However, the only downfall is if you are clumsy with a glass teapot. |
Soooo Cute

| This is such a cute teapot/ infuser. Love that it's glass, so my tea doesn't have that nasty metal taste (blah#. It didn't come with temp setting instructions, but I set my stove on Medium. Please treat with care #duh, it's glass) :-P |

| This lovely teapot is exactly what I envisioned the ideal glass teapot would be. It scores highly on all the features I was looking for: quality, practicality, functionality and beauty. So often something that is aesthetically pleasing does not deliver, but this teapot definitely delivers on its promise and more. One of the ways I enjoy using it most is to steep fresh herbs: place fresh herbs (e.g., mint, tarragon, etc.) into the infuser, pour hot water into the infuser, and let steep for a few minutes. This teapot elevates the tea drinking experience! I highly recommend the Glasgow teapot and would not hesitate to purchase any of the other products offered by this manufacturer. |
Great little tea pot!

I bought this teapot for my weekend brewed tea, which is a ritual for me after rushed week-day mornings. My old teakettle was on its way out, and when I saw that I could boil water as well as brew tea in this glass pot I was intrigued. I used it yesterday for the first time, and am currently enjoying Sunday morning tea with it. I love seeing the rich color of the tea. The pot keeps the tea warm for a surprisingly long time, too. It does take longer to boil the water, because you have to keep the heat to medium, but it is worth it!
If you like those flowering tea balls, this would be a gorgeous way to share them with friends! |

| Feels fragile but works really well. I like that it is glass and will not leach anything into the water, pure taste. Only dislike is that it is made in China. Would prefer one made in the USA. |
LOVE IT!

Finally, a clean way to boil my water: other good features are:
1. Light weight.
2. You can instantly see what the water is doing,... boiling...near boiling, etc. May be you just want your water very hot but not boiling. You can see when it starts to form little bubbles....
3. Not that fragile for glass. You don't feel like it will shatter in your hands.

| Reviewer: Kevin L. Junemann, Midwest USA |
| Pay heed to the one-star review. I was just rinsing the lid off with lukewarm water and it cracked and broke. The lid had sat and cooled to room temperature before I rinsed it. It was never dropped or mishandled in any way. Very strange. The spout also dribbled a bit if you poured a little too fast. Grosche offers a replacement lid and infuser set but Amazon doesn't offer it for sale!!!! Have to buy it directly from Canada. By the time you pay the shipping charges for an international package you could just buy a whole new pot. Kinda pointless. It really kinda sucks too because this is a great tea pot otherwise. |

| I should of listened to the other reviewers as I just purchased the Glasgow and it arrived on the 9th July. Today is the 19th, less than 2 weeks of use and the lid cracked this afternoon while it was sitting on the stovetop. The kettle wasn't hot as it cooled since the tea was from breakfast. I went to pour the last cup out and noticed it. Grosche seems aware of their common defect in the glasgow because I phoned them and described what had happen and the man on the other end guessed that I had the Glasgow even though I hadn't mentioned which kettle of theirs I was trying to get a new lid for. They are all out of lids and will ship one to me in about 8 weeks! That's 2 months of waiting for a kettle I used less than 2 weeks. |
Lid broke without being touched

| I have been using this thing for a week. Just now I found the lid broke in half. It was standing on a trivet, without anything in it, on the kitchen table, and without anything around it. It just broke by itself for no obvious reasons. |
