Timolino Travette Coffee & Tea Maker  Product Reviews

"This is a great little team maker. The infuser basket sits down in the pot and does not have to be removed after steeping, which is a great way to have a non messy cup of tea. Once you pour your first cup, the tea goes down below the infuser level so the steeping stops at that time. I think this is a genius idea. I would love to have them to give to all of my friends. There is definately another one in my future."

"I have come to like this tea pot so much that I am giving it for Christmas to all of the tea drinkers on my list. It is beautiful, practical, and always keeps my tea hot without becoming bitter. Its brew capacity is perfect for two large cups (or four small glasses). Alternatively, I have made tea for eight by making a concentrate in the Timolino and then diluting the concentrate to the desired strength with just boiled water in the tea cup. I am confident that you, too, will find this pot to be so dependable that it will always be on your countertop- never in the cabinet."

"I'm so glad to have found this personal kettle that I'll probably purchase another for the office or keep in my car, or maybe even give some away as gifts. There is nothing like it on the market from Bodum or any of the other name manufacturers. It's totally easy to make great tea through the infuser component (no more filters and strange, messy contraptions). The infuser is large enough so that the tea has room to expand. And everything comes apart easily for cleaning and is quite unlikely to break. The kettle has a nice weight and non-skid bottom, easy to pour handle, the size is about a half-liter (1.5 hefty U.S. mugs full) -- and it keeps tea hot for hours. There is no leaking during pouring, unless the gasket comes off when cleaning and hasn't been put back in place correctly. I can't say enough good things about this product that all loose tea lovers should have and keep for many years. About Timolino, as some other customers have noticed, their shipping is not terribly fast, I guess unless you're on the west coast. So don't wait too long to order, if you're in a hurry. But the product arrived well packed. The box was acceptable for gift giving. For the price, the Travette and company definitely deserve 5 stars plus: *****+. Someone heard what tea drinkers really need and actually manufactured it!"
