“As another reviewer wrote, this was a frustrating (but so pretty) ensemble. I found the glass would also go black from the heat , which you can wipe, but it does make me paranoid so I heat it up quickly then blow out the candle. Nice idea and very pretty. But I don't really use it.”
“I use this warmer with my little Kinto teapots. It looks beautiful, though sadly a design fault makes for a frustrating experience. As the top of the warmer where the teapot sits heats up, the teapot will start to stick - only gently, however because of the very lightweight material of this petite warmer, it’s enough for the warmer and hot candle wax to come with the teapot as you lift it. The only way to avoid a mess of hot wax is to wipe the teapot carefully after each pour to make sure it is dry, and hold down the bottom of the hot warmer as you lift the teapot. Doesn’t happen with my Bodum warmer.”
“Really love the Kinto tea range - its so minimalist and makes the tea experience that little extra special. If you're a tea connoisseur then this is the brand for you. Bit on the expensive side but worth it in my opinion . Have already made 3 orders through Milligram and building my collection of the Unitea range. The tea warmer is not universal so my regular T2 cups have soo small a base but will fit most heat resistant pots. Milligram package well and delivery promptly.”
“The advertised images show that this tea warmer is perfect for keeping tea pots warm, at the very least the price would indicate so. However I just received the item in the post today and was incredibly disappointed. It is way too small to hold a teapot any larger than a single serve, and if you have a single serve of tea, why would you need a tea warmer? I have tried balancing my tea pots on it, but the only support is the outside rim where it slides and becomes a fire hazard.
Really disappointed because it is so beautiful and well made. Unfortunately if it cannot warm a teapot then it doesn't work.
However if you are looking for a tea warmer for just your cup or a single serve teapot, then it really is perfect and great quali-tea.”
