Comments: It's exactly what I have been looking for! I wanted a pitcher that would keep liquids hot or cold for our office conference room. Since we are an architectural firm the Michael Graves design couldn't be more perfect.

Summary: The best thing for tea lovers!
Comments: Surprisingly attractive in appearance, this airpot also performs. They promise 10 hours of temperature mantanence, and they deliver. It keeps my tea piping hot from the time that I make it in the morning until I leave work in the evening...that is if I don't drink it all before then. I sit it on the corner of my desk and have an instant hot cuppa any time I want it. I've also tried iced tea, and it kept that so cold that there was still ice in the bottom of the container when I was finished with the drink (and I only put in a handfull).
The only little niggle that I have with this is the tea infuser. There is no mesh screen in the bottom (though there are screens in the sides) so you have to either toss the leaves with water in them, or tip the infuser sideways in order to drain the water back into the airpot. Regardless, I still love to brew tea in the airpot. I have used loose tea and tea bags; both work wonderfully. Any variety of tea keeps beautifully in this. I've used it for black, herbal, green, and oolong teas.
Just a couple of tips: pre-heat with tap-hot water before using boiling water from the kettle and rinse with soapy water after use. Also, don't let it tip during transport. It isn't leak proof, but does travel very well as long as you keep it upright. I take it back and forth with me to work nearly every day and have had no spills to date.
This was worth every penny and I hope to continue using it for years to come. I love my airpot!
