Is the pot designed to keep the water hot off base?

No it doesn't keep the water hot, but it is super fast at boiling the water. I love mine, I use it all the time.

No. When the water boils the unit shuts off. If the water isn't used right away it will cool off.

No, this is meant to brew and serve tea, but not to heat water. I use a separate electric kettle for boiling water.

I do not believe that the pot is for heating. It is only for brewing AFTER the water is heated in a kettle or heating device.

no. it heats to boiling then you have the option to keep it hot (without boiling) for as long as you like.

No, it turns itself off and the water stays warm until it cools off, as it would in any container.

No, only at the base. You can change how the water comes out of the head, but not turn it off.

Yes. There is a "tab" [you can see it as the extension above the whistle in the product photo] that you can safely use to life and lock the whistle up out of your way so you can pour the pot's contents without getting a steam burn.

Yes, I believe so. I have poured very hot if not boiling water in to it and have never had a problem.

To my knowledge, NO. There is a stainless steel heating element inside the pot. Oh, the black bottom that the pot sits on is probably plastic (pvc?) I use it daily. It takes no time to heat up.

Yes. Fill the pot to the designated level and it automatically shuts off once the boiling point is reached.

No, you put boiling water into the pot. It's used for seeping, not boiling.

The switch will not turn off till the water is boiled, so if you take it off early and then put it back onto the base, it will continue heating. Just flip the switch off as you are pouring if you want it off. That's what I do!

There's a small base station with a plug that the kettle sits on top of. When the water has boiled, you just pick up the kettle and pour and the base stays behind.

NO it does not. However when using this pot the heat doesn't need to be high, so sticking hasn't been a problem.

The base does get hot during use. For stability sakes, I would keep it on level ground.

The base is not hot at all. Bottom of the kettle is just "warm", I can touch it with hands without feeling "hot"
