I absolutely love my new coffee pot. Very cute and practical. Plus, the coffee tastes way better than from a machine. The shipping was fast considering that it was shipped from overseas. The pot arrived in perfect condition. I am happy I made this purchase!I use it to heat milk on an induction hob. I don't have a proper coffee machine with a milk steamer. The bottom does over scald the milk, so I have to manage the heat better. Comes off when soaked with sodium bicarb and vinegar solution. The black rim isn't well enameled so I got a few rust spots after first wash. So need to towel dry instead of leaving on dish drainerDoes the job. On our induction hob too. Some may not as it seems induction is hit and miss.Great looking, functional, small stove top pot. I bought this for making hot chocolate and it works very well. The long handle is easy to use and it pours nicely. Makes one big mug or 2 small cups. The design has a pleasant retro feel to it. Photo shows it making hot chocolate....I really like this little pot, very useful for my morning tea, since I avoid using kettles, and I also use it to boil an egg or two in it, or even milk of any kind. If washed carefully and not using any metal type sponges to scrub it, it's going to last you practically forever.
