Nice and the cozy is perfection…but I totally disagree with the electric kettle comment. If you’re a tea drinker, it’s nuts not to have an electric kettle. I don’t think anyone in Britain would disagree with me on that one.
Maggie – Did you do a pour test on any of these teapots? I have a really nicely designed (nice to look at) teapot, but it drips almost as much tea as what ends up in the cup. The only one I have not had drip on me is a cheap glass and plastic teapot from SF Chinatown. Pleeeeze tell me you have found one that looks nice and pours with minimal drips!
We didn’t do a pour test, but my experience has been that the pot has to have an old-fashioned spout. The modern pots, with the triangular spouts that point entirely up toward the ceiling? Disaster.
i have to say, the list is considering one thing i think is absolutely essential–a bee house teapot. no lie–the best teapot in the universe, and cute to boot. comes sized to fit your needs, whether you are drinking alone, with a pair, or with a group. worth looking into.

The fuzzy tea cozy is too much. I love it!
