Don't laugh, I was desperate and it was really cheap.
It doesn't dribble so I'm happy :lol:

Why laugh? Nothing wrong with it.
Always good to have some work horse teapots around.

IME this works well for some stuff, particularly serving several guests, but you will run into a problem if you want to prepare 100ml-200ml for yourself, esp. tea that requires high temps. Unless I'm misjudging the size, if the water reaches the infuser at all, the leaves will be restricted to a small, shallow area that might disturb extraction & definitely cools pretty rapidly. You can fix this by removing the infuser and replacing it with a coil filter (I got 5pcs in different sizes for $1.15+$1 delivery on AliExpress).

Its 250ml. I would have liked a little smaller but this is the littlest they had

I worry they are too big for my small hands and I'd burn myself.
