Oh, not in production yet? They are a simply superb idea! I can’t see why they can’t find some kind of support. I certainly want one!

Hi all, I’m from Vessel, and wanted to jump in to say how much we appreciate all the interest + critique. Here’s a few answers that I hope you find helpful:

1) this is a concept that we fell in love with in the studio and, as it’s not our normal line of business, are promoting on the web in order to help us make a more convincing case to a manufacturing partner.

2) Our concept proposals include a brewing wand that sits down through the main chamber to allow tea to steep; but we decided not to build it into the actual kettle. Many users + cultures only brew tea in the cup so we felt it would be an appropriate accessory, but not the core product.

3) we are very aware of the fantastic eva solo teapot, but it relies on another vessel to heat the water, which makes it just a tabletop item.

4) Cleaning issues are not huge unless you use an in-kettle brewing tool—which we wanted to allow for, but for most users cleaning is infrequent.

5) Our site went down from all the interest, and we upped our bandwidth on all accounts. Apologies to anyone who tried to visit in the interim.

Grace, thanks for clarifying. I suppose some people clean their kettles more then twice a year like me! Sorry if it sounded overly suspicious.

Geez people, put your tea in the damned thing, the mouth looks wide enough. Maybe they could make a matching tea ball that doesn’t fall apart after a couple uses like all the rest in the the known universe.

It will clean up quicker and easier than my teapot ever does.

I emailed these guys to suggest they do something terribly clever, namely allow people to give their contact information so that if an when this becomes available they can let you know. You know, like most sensible web sties advertising new products do.
