 Nissan 11-Ounce Stainless Steel Coffee and Tea Traveler
ASIN: B00004S1CV
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Great insulation, even brews a nice cup of tea!
Comments: This is a great product- leak proof with amazing heat/cold retention. For tea drinkers, I just thought I'd add a better description of how the tea lid works. It is actually not a strainer for leaving the tea leaves in the cup (the tea would be so bitter!), but an ingenious way of brewing tea! You put hot water in the cup, then screw on the strainer, add the loose tea leaves, screw the top lid on, and turn the cup upside down for a quick brew! (Since it is leak-proof, you actually can turn the cup upside down easily) After brewing, you just turn it right side up and replace the strainer holding the spent leaves with the sipping lid, and voila- a quick and pretty decent cup of tea! Highly recommended.

Summary: Poor Quality
Comments: I bought 2 of this. One turned into a yucky purple/blue color after only two uses, the other broke in less than 6 months. I don't recommend it to anyone.

 West Bend 53655 2- to 5-Cup Hot Pot, White
ASIN: B00004RC6I
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: It works! and I'll tell you how...
Comments: This hot pot is great if you are a college student and want to make hot tea any time of day. Here's the trick to get almost boiling hot water: Realize that the pot does not 'control'
the temperature per se, it just heats up the water and continues to do so for up to 20 minutes. Therefore, if you want ONE cup of water as close to boiling as possible, fill the pot just over the 2 cup line, let it heat up for at least 6 minutes, if not 10, then pour yourself some hot water. And it doesn't really make up to 5 cups, that is, it will only fill up 3-4 coffee mugs maximum. All in all its a steal!
