For herbal and fruit infusions, which benefit from actual heat rather than a single pour of hot water, that is a real difference in the result. \u003cstrong\u003e1.4 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e serves four to six cups, the \u003cstrong\u003einfuser\u003c\/strong\u003e holds loose leaves and botanicals, and \u003cstrong\u003eheat-resistant borosilicate glass\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you watch the colour develop.

Heat gradually rather than starting on full, and never move a hot pot onto a cold wet surface. Remove the infuser once the brew is at the strength you want, since leaves continue extracting and turn a pot bitter. Wash by hand and remove limescale with warm water and lemon rather than scrubbing, which scratches glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a standard glass teapot, being flame safe lets you simmer on the hob and serve from the same vessel. Against the 1.8L teapot, this is a slightly smaller serving size for a smaller household. Against a ceramic pot, glass shows the brew but holds heat for less time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it really go on the hob?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - keep the burner small and centred under the base, heat gradually, and never let it boil dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many cups does it serve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.4 litres gives roughly four to six cups, which suits a small family or a couple of guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my tea taste bitter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeaves left in after brewing continue extracting.
