Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Saw this in Wired magazine and ordered it for my tea-loving wife for Christmas. It does have a lot of style, but as a practical device it falls short. We decided to return it, given the astronomical price.
In order to make tea you have to unscrew the long screw at bottom, open up the metal piece at the hinge (at top in the design), and remove the glass canister. Then you put loose tea in the canister and reverse the process, finally adding hot water through the spout. As my wife noted, going through a multi-step time-consuming process is not what you want to be doing first thing in the morning before you've had your caffeine. The glass is not that thick, and we were certain it would be broken before too many months passed, what with all that shifting pieces around.
Thus are the perils of focussing too much on form and not enough on function.

Product Description:
A modern teapot in design and spirit, the Sorapot is made from 304 stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and food-grade silicone. With an 11-ounce capacity, the teapot brews just enough for two cups of tea. Produced by award-winning designer, Joey Roth, the teapot is designed to change based on how it's held, how it's cleaned, and the type of tea used in it. The uncoated stainless steel will develop a sheen where it's grasped, and will gradually become more matte in other areas. Over time, a gradient of surface shine will form over the Sorapot's body, making it more beautiful than the day it was taken out of its package. The heat-resistant borosilicate glass tube is completely removable and easy to clean, and all parts are dishwasher safe. The eco-friendly package is made from recycled cardboard and molded paper pulp--the same material used to make egg crates. The package is fastened with natural jute rope, and avoids the use of tape and staples.
