I just bought my first Brown Betty Teapot. I was told by the saleslady that this is the best teapot and she assured me that it had a good "pour" - which is very important. When I poured my first cup of tea from my new Brown Betty, the tea came rushing out like Niagara Falls. It didn't pour out in a nice even stream and it overshot my cup and went everywhere. I thought it was just me, so the next day, my Mom made a pot of tea and the same thing happened.
Help! Do I have a defective teapot? Or is this normal?
Also, I notice that the lid does not have a little hole in it. Should it?
My family loves a good cup of tea and making in a cup just isn't the same.
P.S. The saleslady told me that the manufacturers of "Brown Betty" have gone bankrupt and that the new pots are made in Malaysia (mine is made in England. Is this true? We bought the 6-cup teapot, because we were told that the 8-cup made in England were very hard to find - the
6-cup is just too small for a family of "tea grannies". I live in the Toronto area.
