This is just a beautiful pot.  However no one mentioned in their reviews that it takes two hands to open the lid to fill it with water.  There is no single button on the top of the handle that opens the lid,  so you first have to use your opposing hand to pinch the two knobs on the top to get the lid to open - or set the pot down, open the lid, pick it up and fill it under the faucet.  
      The other thing is that I wasn't thinking about are the stains hard water makes on glass surfaces.  I'm pretty sure this beautiful glass pot is going to cloud up shortly.  Time will tell, maybe a little vinegar once a week will keep it clear,  but I hope I don't have to scrub it and risk scratching the glass to keep it clear.  It sure is beautiful and it does boil the water quickly.  I hope it ends up working for me.
