You know, if you're going to demo your product on video, at least do it properly. To the untrained eye, the clip of Joey Roth using the high-tech teapot, the Sorapot, to make a cuppa seems fine. It certainly shows how the steel, glass and silicone pot works.
But Joey, next time you make tea, talk to somebody from Britain. You don't pour water from a thermos, however stylish it might be. You need boiling water. Boiling. Not boiled or just "quite hot", but 100ºC H2O.
I have mixed feelings about the design, too. The Pyrex should be a much better insulator than metal, keeping the tea hot, but the metal bar to lock the pot closed seems fiddly, and when upended to receive the boiling water, the Sorapot looks a little wobbly. And for $180 you could buy 12 classic ceramic teapots. Still, if you're buying this to stick on a shelf in your bachelor pad, it's probably perfect.
