The construction uses 18/10 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and everyday durability while maintaining a contemporary appearance suitable for modern kitchens and dining settings.

Advantages

The teapot's 18/10 stainless steel construction offers resistance to rust and staining, ensuring long-term use with minimal maintenance. Its compact dimensions (Ø 230 mm, depth 130 mm, height 150 mm) make it easy to store and handle, while the polished surface simplifies cleaning. The design balances functional brewing capacity with a restrained aesthetic that integrates into various table settings.

Suitable for

• Brewing and serving tea for small households or intimate gatherings
• Daily use in kitchens where durable, easy-care cookware is preferred
• Serving tea at small tables, breakfast service, or light hospitality settings

When it may not be suitable

The ALESSI CA12/8 teapot is compact and intended for small-scale use; it may not be suitable when a larger capacity teapot is required for big groups or commercial high-volume service. It does not include insulated double-wall construction, so it will not retain heat as long as vacuum-insulated or double-walled teapots.

Key specifications

• Material: Stainless steel 18/10
• Diameter: 230 mm
• Depth: 130 mm

How to use

Rinse the teapot with warm water before first use. Pre-warm the teapot by rinsing with hot water, then add loose tea leaves or tea bags and pour hot water at the appropriate temperature for the chosen tea type. Allow the tea to steep for the recommended time, then pour through the spout into cups. After use, wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to preserve the stainless steel surface. Avoid prolonged contact with acidic substances and do not use abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that the capacity and compact dimensions meet your serving needs for household or small-table use
• Consider that it is single-wall stainless steel and not insulated for extended heat retention
• Ensure compatibility with your cleaning preferences (hand wash recommended to preserve finish)

Usage recommendations

To maintain appearance and function, rinse and dry the teapot promptly after washing; for minor stains, use a mild non-abrasive detergent. Use appropriate water temperature for different tea types to achieve best flavor while avoiding rapid thermal shocks to the metal.
