Avanti Modena Double Wall

Underwhelmed – I was actually after a thermal teapot by Thermos which has great reviews on this site. However, it was no longer available for sale. I wanted a Thermos branded item as I am very, very happy with the performance and superb manufacturing quality of a Thermos thermal carafe I bought. However, there was a perfect dupe in the Avanti Modena teapot - it looked exactly the same as the no-longer-available Thermos. And I was also satisfied with a thermal Avanti Go Cup.

With the look-alike teapot, I figured that as it was sold on Amazon from the Avanti Shop, it couldn’t be an unauthorised copy or fake right?

On delivery, the polished silver double-wall 1.2L teapot looked nice. But it was light and tinny, not even close to the solid, sturdy feel of the 600 ml Thermos carafe. The joins on the teapot (e.g. where the spout joins the body) looked poor, and the insulation also seemed iffy as the outside body of the teapot heats up when hot water is poured in.

The design of the teapot looks nice, but the quality and performance is disappointing.
