I own a small (12oz) black tetsubin, and I use it quite regularly at home.
I have found that it makes almost exactly one mug's worth of tea, and I can
leave the tea leaves for later steeps. I simply use a thin potholder to hold
down the lid with my left hand while I pour. I don't burn myself (well, not
that often ) The only problem I have is that the rim of the pot and the
rim of the mesh basket need to be cleaned _very_ thoroughly and everything
_must_ be completely dry before being put away - this is iron after all...

Other than that, I really like my tetsubin.
