The 7 Best Teapots of 2020

If you are looking for an everyday teapot that can hold a few mugs worth of warm brew, then this is your pick. This model holds three to four cups of tea in borosilicate glass so durable that you can put it directly on a gas stovetop. When the stainless steel parts are removed it can also go in the microwave to warm up your tea when it cools down a little. An added bonus is that it's dishwasher safe, so you can wash it easily after a long day. 

Anyone who has ever poured hot water out of a teapot knows that burns do happen, but this item's lid is designed to stay cool so your fingers stay safe. And the ergonomic handle allows for a firm grip while holding the pot while the spout is spill free. The vast majority of reviews for this teapot are five stars, with positive comments like "lightweight and stylish" and "for such money I got a well made and great looking teapot!"

Ceramic teapots are widely lauded for their long-lasting heat retention, easiness to clean, and traditional aesthetic. Tealyra's Daze Ceramic Teapot has all these wonderful traits, plus it's available in seven colors to match any personality or kitchen décor. It has 24-ounce capacity and the ceramic body is built to resist high temperatures and stand the test of time. The extra-fine stainless-steel strainer prevents the smallest leaves from floating into your tea, resulting in the perfect cup.

Feedback such as "does not drip when pouring" and "super sturdy" are what most customers say about this pretty pot. It also makes a wonderful gift for a friend who also cherishes a warm spot of tea on a cold day. 

With 22 gorgeous pieces, this tea set has everything you need to entertain. There are six tea cups, six saucers, six teaspoons, a sugar bowl, cream pitcher, stainless steel filter, and, of course, a gleaming 28-ounce tea pot. Every piece in the set is crafted from white porcelain and accented with an elegant gold trim. Customers say the porcelain is surprisingly sturdy, as the item has a nearly perfect rating for durability; the pieces are also dishwasher safe but should not be used in the microwave or on the stovetop. 

What really separates this Pukka Home set from other options is its value for money. The price is extremely reasonable when considering the quality and number of pieces included, and customers also say it makes a great gift. More gift ideas for tea lovers can be found in this product round-up. If you’re looking for a pop of color, Pukka Home not only makes the set in Pure White but in Milk Purple and Young Pink as well. Keep in mind, however, that the set does not include the display stand used in photographs. 

This handcrafted glass teapot can be placed on the stovetop as well as in the microwave. At 45 ounces, this is a larger version of Hiware's 27-ounce glass teapot. Designed with a non-dripping spout and an open round handle, this pot is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass that the manufacturer makes durable enough for everyday use. Reviewers call this pot "beautiful, sturdier than it looks" and "elegant."

What's great about the pot is you can use the lid with or without the infuser so you can switch it up daily depending on your personal preference. This also has a two-year warranty so if you are scared of glass construction you are guaranteed it will hold up or you will get a refund. 

This classic-style teapot boasts contemporary features, like being dishwasher and oven safe (up to 250 degrees), all at a bargain price. There are no steel attachments which means the pot can be placed in the microwave, making it a smart option for those who like to warm up their tea throughout the day. At 48 ounces this is the perfect teapot for entertaining because you can warm multiple cups. This pot does not come with a tea infuser, but one can easily be added. Reviewers loved this teapot as being the great "everyday white teapot" that is "easy to clean" and "looks good in my kitchen."

This Japanese-inspired cast iron teapot is ideal for brewing up small batches of loose-leaf tea for yourself or a guest. Iron teapots are traditionally heavier, as the weight of the iron helps retain heat for an extended length of time, which is ideal for long brewing and taste. This item strikes the perfect balance between function and design, however, as it's on the lighter side for iron models, clocking in at 3.35 pounds. It's also equipped with enamel lining for rust resistance. Reviewers love this teapot for being dependable enough to use on a daily basis, and the iron design stands out in any kitchen.

With a 36-ounce capacity, this glazed stoneware teapot has an angular spout and a stay-cool handle. This British designed teapot is dishwasher safe and available in eight colors. An excellent choice if you are looking for a stoneware pot that is more on the contemporary side and evokes a British feel.

It comes in eight fun colors including a vibrant nectar and pistachio but also comes in a more subdued grey. If you are looking for the "authentic" British tea experience this is your best bet.
