It looks wonderful, exactly what I wanted. The previous one was 1000ml and that meant it held less since after a certain point it would spill from the spout. This one is spacious, just right for two large cups - or more small ones if you have company. Also, this small metal filter catches the coarse bits but you will still need a filter inside, I don't think you can just put your tea in loose. The only problem I noticed with the previous one I had was that the spout collects stains and is difficult to clean inside, but I imagine it will be resolved if I get the special brush that cleans bottles
