This HotCup does look great and sits well on the kitchen worktop. However the use of it is quite disappointing as it stops pouring after 250ml which I understand and actually makes one perfect hot cup of water but it's more time consuming making multiple cups of tea than using a kettle as the unit boils the water each time. Great for single person use but no god for multiple cups or filling a saucepan with boiled water for cooking for example.
