Update:
It is very important not to fill it above 5 cup mark. The manual says between 3 and 5.
I did not get the maunal with this item and when I was simply trying to fill it to the capacity
leaving some two inches from the top then I experienced a heavy water leak while boiling
and I did not know where it was coming from thinking there is abottom leak.
So apparently it does NOT leak from the bottom, you just need to be very
careful how much you feel up this thing. Look inside for Min Max marks
that I also did not pay attention to and they are there... otherwise
also the manual says:
it has to be dry on the outsid and the base has to be dry while using
so important safety issue.
The manual is in your order record while you click the support button and follow instructions.
I bought this pot some 6 months ago. Love it totally. I was very careful with choosing a pot as
I love all things organic, clean, no plastic and non leaching materials, no aluminum and no coatings of a non stick type.
So this felt like a good choice and it is indeed a healthy choice as I had a chance to browse ton of all different kinds. I finally settled for this one because:
* I love the elegant design, in person is just gorgeous. It reminds me of those offered at Williams Sonoma site but this one is even nicer and cheaper.
* I love the stainless steel interior. That was an absolute must for me as I don't like aluminum or glass as there are all kinds of impurities in glass. I also did not like the ones that have mixed materials inside, some glass, some metal, some plastic. This one is just that: PLAIN STAINLESS INSIDE. Not seams, no welding that could be contaminated, nothing, just plain one surface sleek and smooth.
*The top is also stainless steel inside so no contamination. I often open the top for cooking anyway to let my water air as it boils to release any volatile chemicals that can go with the steam.
* I love the design that is so practical and easy to use:
- the holding arm is designed in funny way and I was wondering how pracitcal it will be but it is quite easy to use and hold and the angle is good.
- The white finish is perfect gorgeous car like.. very good hard finish that will last. So easy to clean and does not attract dirt.
- I love the little crystal accents, the handle of the top and the lever that you turn it on and off.
- The turn on of lever is so perfect. I have no problem with fine motor skills but if someone has some limitations this is so easy, no turning no fine switches, just push with a finger or side of the hand.
- No plugging or unplugging constnatly, you just keep the base plugged in and take it off and on as needed. You keep it parked on the base when you boil it or when it is waiting to be used or after use.
- The base is solid and nice.
- The light.. ah the light. I really love that little blue light that shines through the glass like lever that
looks like a piece of ice.. so beautiful. It is on when the pot is boiling water and off once finished.
MY most favorite function of course is the fact that it AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. Total pece of mind.
I just pour water, turn it off and can walk away and forget it knowing it will not keep boiling till the end of times, it will boil the water and promptly turn itself off once done.
It is Rocket fast!!! I did not time it but It is has to be around minute or two or so or three tops..
as I barely can manage to connect it, walk away to do something and come back a nd it is done.
Love it! I just came back to get a second one for different area in the house so I have my second tea station near the work space. Along with few bottles of water, I don't need a sink to make my tea whenever I fancy.
