Timolino 16 oz. Aromatic Australian Press, black Review

This little unit is great. I cannot vouch for its coffee-making abilities, but it is excellent for making a cup of tea. The mesh filter is finer than the mesh used in most tea infuser balls, so that cup of African rooibos won't have bits of leaf floating around in it. It also brews a more flavorful cup of tea because the tea is free to float around in the liquid, unlike tea made with an infuser ball. It holds enough liquid to make one large mug of coffee or tea. It's quite durable too, as long as you don't use it as a football. The unit also fully disassembles for cleaning (hint: to remove the filter, just push the post on the middle of the filter assembly to the side, just make sure you don't lose the ball bearing - it's the part that stops the flow of liquid when you lift the unit off your mug.)

The only caveat is that if your favorite mug has a diameter greater than the average coffee mug, you'll have to dispense the liquid a little differently. Just rest one of the plastic tabs on the bottom of the unit against the outside of your mug's rim, and dispense the liquid.

Highly recommended.

Bodum 10552-16US Ottoni Cordless 51-Ounce Electric Water Kettle Review

On the positive side, this is beautifully designed kettle and well constructed of stainless steel, which is what I was expecting after paying a whooping $179 for a kettle.
However if like me, you were willing to pay such a price for a mere kettle in the hope of having an all metal kettle with no plastic parts, you would be disappointed: the water level is metal; the filter is cheap plastic but it is removable; however the inside of the lid is a black plastic on which water condenses and this for me was unacceptable for this price range. I fail to understand manufacturers who can be so greedy on their profits so much so that they have to cut costs by substituting with cheap plastic even when asking for a premium price. Also kettle is made in China, so must not have cost Bodum half the asking price....For $50 I could find an all metal kettle with a few plastic points, so I had to return this kettle back. Not good enough, so until someone comes up with a kettle that takes into account the concerns of customers, I will have to wait and settle for a stovetop kettle...

Product Description:
An electric version of the original Ottoni Stovetop Kettle, this compact cylindrical kettle boasts the same sparse post-modernist '70s design with whimsical touches such as the mystical blue-beaded lid handle and a row of raised dots hammered into the steel around its upper circumference. However, the kettle also has a function: its slightly wider base directs heat upward so water boils faster than in other kettles. Even more, its stainless-steel heating element sits below a stainless-steel plate to ensure maximum surface contact between the hot metal and water. The kettle quickly and efficiently boils up to 51 ounces of water for tea, hot cocoa, and more. For safety, its automatic shut-off function turns the unit off once the water boils or if the heating element overheats. Other highlights include a durable plastic loop handle, a lift-off lid for easy refilling, and a removable scale filter in the spout for better-tasting beverages, as well as a base unit for cordless operation, a simple on/off switch, and brilliantly polished stainless-steel construction that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. To clean, wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth and descale as needed. The fully automatic electric water kettle measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 7-4/5 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser Review

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser, Black

We have used a Hot Shot for many years, replacing the first two because they eventually stopped heating water sufficiently (only up to 160 degrees F).Since they had become a mainstay in our kitchen, used several times a day, we were eager to replace the last one, and ordered the sleek new black model, which is of a somewhat different design than the original.

The first one we received from Amazon leaked considerably if we didn't use up all the water that had been heated, so we sent it back (Amazon paid for the entire return postage and sent us a new one at no extra cost).The second one leaked just like the first one, through the dispenser spout, when water was left to sit in the heating chamber.We never had this problem with the older model.

I am giving it two stars instead of only one, since some people may not mind being sure to empty the heating chamber after each use.(If it didn't leak, I would give it 4 stars -- and 5 stars, if it were also tall enough to accomodate taller cups).

Travel Immersion Heater CH-106 Review

I ordered this product, and it was defective.The company sent me a replacement.The replacement worked for about five uses, then it quit working.I decided to dissect it rather than try again.

Sure enough, it contains a heating element wire inside the metal casing that is about the thickness of a strand of sewing thread. Too fragile.No wonder it failed after such a short time.

Timolino 17-Ounce Travette Coffee and Tea Maker Review

I'm so glad to have found this personal kettle that I'll probably purchase another for the office or keep in my car, or maybe even give some away as gifts.There is nothing like it on the market from Bodum or any of the other name manufacturers.It's totally easy to make great tea through the infuser component (no more filters and strange, messy contraptions).The infuser is large enough so that the tea has room to expand.

And everything comes apart easily for cleaning and is quite unlikely to break.The kettle has a nice weight and non-skid bottom, easy to pour handle, the size is about a half-liter (1.5 hefty U.S. mugs full) -- and it keeps tea hot for hours.There is no leaking during pouring, unless the gasket comes off when cleaning and hasn't been put back in place correctly.I can't say enough good things about this product that all loose tea lovers should have and keep for many years.

About Timolino, as some other customers have noticed, their shipping is not terribly fast, I guess unless you're on the west coast.So don't wait too long to order, if you're in a hurry.But the product arrived well packed.The box was acceptable for gift giving.For the price, the Travette and company definitely deserve 5 stars plus: *****+.

Someone heard what tea drinkers really need and actually manufactured it!
