"Would definitely purchase this product again and would be interested in other Coffee Gator products as well."
"The perfect pot for brewing the perfect cup of coffee."
"Remember to let the kettle settle for a minute after removing from heat, since the temperature may climb a bit before evening out."
"This is a fantastic kettle for pour over coffee."
"Pour over is as close as it comes and the Coffee Gator Kettle suits my needs perfectly."
"Thanks for your wonderful coffee gator pour over coffee pot."
"After discovering I was dissatisfied with the size, and a glitch with the temperature gauge, I received an immediate apology from the company and they took swift action to rectify the dilemma by offering me my choice of a full refund or a larger thermostat kettle to resolve the issue."
Unlike the 'French Press' teapots which crush and bruise the leaves, our teapot's ingenious design uses gravity, not force, to strain the leaves. The clean-up is equally as easy as the teapot is dishwasher safe. Great for the office or when traveling, this innovative teapot releases infused tea directly into a drinking cup.

"I got one of these for both my wife and my daughter, they make GREAT Christmas presents :)."
"It is difficult to clean after brewing tea."
"Being new to using loose leaf teas I also had to look up the proper method of preparing different types of teas to get the best results. I use the same microwave safe cup to boil my water in making my tea as drinking my tea."
"This is such a nice way to brew tea, you can use just about any kind of loose leaf."
"For the 16 ounce version: My only negative comments are not so much an issue with the product, but how they interface with "normal cups". 16 ounces minus the volume of the leaves and you're left with more like 1.5 cups. For both the 16 and 32 ounce versions: Second, the bottom is clear, but it's still a little hard to see inside the cup you're pouring into, which makes it a little hard to know how much you've poured."
"You just fill in hot water and tea leaves, wait for them to brew, and set it over a mug when you’re done."
"Issues: 1) I can't get my hand inside the container to remove the filter (assuming it is removable) for a thorough cleaning, 2) it's just a little too small; to work properly with my favorite mug, 3) its really just another plastic gadget that seems unlikely to be durable."
Founded on that philosophy, the company gives a portion of its profits to the Wounded Warrior Project and to providing education and healthcare to children in impoverished areas of Uganda. BEAUTIFUL WHISTLING TEA KETTLE: You can feel it in the weight of the kettle: this large 3 liter/100 ounce stovetop induction kettle is built to last. INCLUDES A PREMIUM TEA INFUSER: This stainless steel whistling tea pot includes a premium stainless steel tea strainer, perfect for brewing up a single custom cup of loose leaf tea with your new tea kettle. HEAT UP YOUR WATER IN NO TIME: Unlike other cheaper, lightweight tea kettles that use just one or two layers, this 3 liter tea maker is made with FIVE layers of premium grade stainless steel, iron, and aluminum formed into a capsule bottom that heats up quickly and evenly.

That means if you’re anything less than 100% pleased as punch, we’ll make sure things don't stay that way for long. Your taste buds will be on the receiving end of a flavour fiesta that will leave you grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato. This manual kit has a glass handle and uses ‘percolation’ to slowly pass water through ground coffee into the carafe below - simple. The laser-cut reusable stainless steel mesh filter extracts maximum flavor with minimal effort - simply rinse clean - easy. Not only do paper filters cost money and steal more delicious oils and flavors, they create waste and damage the environment.

Despite what the big boys might have you believe, you don’t need a coffee masters degree to make a barista-quality brew. It makes brewing unbeatable coffee as easy as falling off a slippery log. That means if you’re anything less than 100% pleased as punch, we’ll make sure things don't stay that way for long. Our large coffee kit fulfils two missions: a) makes your taste buds dance with flavor fuller than a centipede’s sock drawer AND b) keeps your brew piping hot for longer. Compared to glass, it keeps coffee (or tea) hot for at least 60 minutes longer. A cool touch handle protects your hands and the spring-loaded, double-layer filter brews a cleaner cup. So unlike glass or cheap, flimsy versions, it won’t break if you drop it (but your floor might need some attention). At this point, most discerning, good looking, coffee drinkers tend to sling it in their cart and prepare to enjoy as soon as tomorrow.

And I own an Aeropress (my badge now flashes neon lights in a hypnotic, swirling pattern - a beacon of absolute coffee douchitude). Also, I have no idea what the point of the little glass jar is - it looks like it could handle at most 4 T. of coffee and seems better suited to store your marijuana (that is, if you live in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, or any other state with legal weed)."
"I initially heat water and pour inside the press to warm it up while I measure out my coffee beans and grind them. While I was figuring out my measurements, I made more than 1 cup per brew and would leave the excess in the press while I drank to see if it would keep up to temperature once I was done."
"Sturdy and it does the job well."
"Got this with an electric tea kettle to replace my Keurig 2.0 and holy moly was that upgrade worth it!!"
"The product is of good quality."
"Makes a nice brew!"
"Absolutely top quality press here, I would not hesitate to recommend this item."
"Quality built, easy to use and makes a difference as far as the flavor and smoothness (vs using my own grind in a Keurig)."

"just what I wanted , perks 30 cups in short time, also keeps it hot."
"While planning a large dinner for our extended family, I looked into renting various food service items that we'd need to feed our guests. The only negative I found is that the pot is not insulated, is made of thin metal, and the surface is extremely hot."
"Takes a very long time to perk - too long to wait for a big group."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"We decided to start trying all types of teas and different tea brands and with that we had to purchase pots, infusers and cups. I decided to purchase two of the loose tea brewing cups, as well as the teapot and loose leaf infuser in this set. The are great and if you don't want to purchase the teapot and infuser you can purchase the cup and still brew great tea with it."
"I absolutely love my new tea cup."
"The cup and strainer have held up through several dishwasher cycles now, but I worry about the seemingly fragile lid, which is so small it could easily slip through or be missed and knocked to the floor."
"I can’t leave 5 stars as the packaging arrived very damaged (see pictures), however fortunately the cup wasn’t damaged and I was able to still gift it after some creative wrapping."
"The filter basket is very well made, fine stainless steal with pinholes verses a mesh that can tear or separate and not at all flimsy, the lid fits perfectly."
"Gorgeous and perfect for brewing loose leaf tea."
"I love my tea brewing mug!"
"I'm so happy I splurged and bought this for myself for Christmas because I use it everyday and it gives me joy."

"I purchased them for fresh juices and the airtight seal."
"I read some review complaining about the caps, something about the sealer coming off when opening the bottle but it only happened once with me, to me its no big deal."
"I love that buying these are supporting a small business, and i definitely recommend them to anyone looking for convenient sized bottles for juice storage or even as glass water bottles!"
"These are fantastic for storing the juices of poor vegetables that have been squeezed to death."
"Then in first washing in dishwasher 3 out of 6 lids came apart. The company instantly sent me a new set of lids. Our hope and our belief is that the lids coming apart was a fluke."
"I prefer drinking out of glass over plastic any day, so I was looking for something that would fit well inside of my lunch bag. The caps are high quality aluminum and plastic with a tight rubber seal."
"I wouldn't give one of these to a small child, but my high schooler takes care of them and doesn't mind the extra weight in his bag. One caveat: Due to temperature fluctuations over the course of an average day, these caps get seat themselves pretty tightly."

Find Best Price at Amazon"!...That's the first thing you see on the box...2nd, the ice cone is in the middle which cools your beverage more evenly and makes changing out the water from the melted ice effortless...I have friends that have the ice bowl at the bottom of their beverage dispenser...The problem with those is when you need to empty the melted ice water but have plenty of beverage left in your container...It gets REAL awkward holding the heavy container while someone goes to dump the water and refill with new ice cubes...Trust me, I know because I'm usually the one holding the dispenser!...We were able to recycle the melted water (in the pet bowls...go recycling!)."
"Word of advice - small fruit, such as raspberries, can clog the dispenser tap."
"These were a hit a mu baby shower."
"Example for a luau party I put a few flowers in the base."
"I like that the nozzle is up high so you can fill a glass without it hanging over the edge of the counter and maybe dripping on the floor."
"This dispenser is great. There is no way you can chill 3.5 gallons of liquid by using the ice holder."
