This pot is terrible. The first one I received had a gap in the bottom where the seam is. Water collected there and bubbled out every time I used it. Customer service was pleasant to deal with and sent me a replacement. However, the new one has the same issue, just not quite as bad as the first. This is not at all what I would expect from a reputable brand and comparatively expensive pot. The handle is also horrible and is not at all comfortable to use. I would never purchase this again.
