How does the upper tea pot stay warm on the Golda Stainless Steel Turkish tea maker?

The steam from the bottom pot is trapped and keeps the top warm. Of course, you cannot pour in cold water in the top pot and expect it to boil, but it does maintain the temperature as long as the bottom is warm.

It stays warm as the bottom part of the pot keeps the water at boiling temperature. This is not necessarily a good thing since it causes over brewing.

on low heat the water stays at boiling temp, and the small vapor keeps the tea pot HOT!

Bottom part is always hot and boiling and steam keeps top part always hot , it is good product I like that

When the unit is turned on it automatically turns on and off so the hot steam from the water in the kettle keeps the upper tea pot warm.

The metal piece on top does get warm and will warm cups somewhat if you leave it there long enough. Does not make that much of a difference and the machine does turn off the heating element after a set period of non-use.

The strainer doesn't touch the bottom of the pot, which is the way it's supposed to be. It gets pretty close to the bottom to allow the loose tea to soak to a perfect cup of tea. I use my teapot every day and I love it!

You are correct in the sense that it is warm on the outside. Hot if you're ultra-sensitive. It does have a nice rim around the top that you can hold onto. However, I let the tea steep for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes (I like mine well-steeped). I find by that time, it's easy to hold. Think of a cup in a Japaneese restaurant. It's pretty much the same. I love my first one and ordered a second.

It adjusts in 5 degree increments until you reach 210 degrees, then it adjusts by 1 degree. The max is 212 degrees. It's a wonderful tea pot. I use mine everyday & I have had no issues at all.

I bought it for my granddaughter cause she is a tea drinker. She heats the water with something else and adds it to the Norpro. Says it makes great tea and stays warm longer.

The pot it quite small. Makes one cup of tea. Also the glass is thin. I'm not sure why you would need a warmer?

The lid stays on just fine. In fact, if my husband is already asleep and i want to make a late night cup of tea, i fill the pot with water earlier in the evening and have it ready, becuase putting the lid on and clicking it in makes a noise. it fits tight and does not leak. i am very happy with mine. the handle is stationary, so you have to finagle the lid a bit to get it in and clicked tight. but i have arthritis and i can do it so it's no big deal.dee jaquet

The metal parts are hot just like a teakettle on the stove. It holds about two cups of water that will boil in four minutes. They are well made. I use mine several times a day for tea water.

What are you trying to do? The temp doesn't get hot enough to steep tea . . . .

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

I believe some of this has to do with oxidation of the tea while it sits. Tea really should be drank shortly after it's made. The keep warm feature is helpful, but I try not to let my tea sit for too long. It's much better to brew a smaller pot if you won't drink it all right away. What I've found helpful if I do want a pot to drink throughout the day is to have a stainless vacuum carafe on hand. Instead of letting the tea sit in the pot, I'll move it to the carafe and close it up. It keeps the tea hotter, keeps air from getting to the tea and blocks out light. I think it keeps a full pot fresher for longer.

This pot is not insulated so I would say the tea remains hot like 30 min. If you need to keep your tea hot more than this, I would recommend that you buy a thermos bottle. They sell some very good around here. This item is very nice and I recommend.

The top does get very warm, not boiling hot. When in use I tend to place unit a little towards front of counter.

It is quilted. Keeps the tea warm and fits any standard teapot. I like it very much.

The Teapot is great. I use it every day all day to keep water hot for my instant coffee & Tea. It holds about 3 full coffee cups of water. The bottom is getting a little rusty after 8 mos. of continuous use, but Steel wool fixes that.

It does get pretty warm, but not so hot that you can't touch it - if you need to hold the kettle with your other hand to support/pour, however, I would indeed use a hot pad to be protected. I love this tea kettle!!
