Purchased for my wife's birthday and she loves it. She loves that it has markings for a single cup, but also accommodates a slightly larger volume. This does a great job straining out all of the little bits, even with the tiny teas such as the Chocolate Mint Rooibos. The strainer and brewing cup are easy to rinse out. The teapot was well packaged and arrived in great shape. Thank you so much Tea Runners for providing a fantastic product! My only regret is that I didn't get it for my wife sooner as she loves this.
