I have several and I do like mine.

They used to be called an "Aria Teapot" but then Adagio tried to corner
the market on them. The non-Adagio ones are cheaper if you can find
one.

I think that they are a transitional piece for most users. They make
brewing loose leaf tremendously easy but most drinkers will graduate to
more traditional teaware in time. I do think they are quite effective
for those who are new to loose leaf. I have several and I do like mine.
I think that they are a transitional piece for most users. They make
brewing loose leaf tremendously easy for the loose leaf newbie but most
drinkers will gradate to more traditional yixing or porcelain teaware
in time, if for no other reason than to enjoy the rich culture of
teaware.
