I didn't buy this product because I thought it was best creamer out there, I bought it to match the teapot, sugar bowl and other Alessi products that adorn a glass shelf that takes pride of place somewhere in my kitchen.
If you're seriously thinking about buying this product my guess is you like it, you don't particularly care how well your milk/cream will flow but hope that it will function well enough to merit the price you're essentially paying for the aesthetics of Alessi and Michael Graves' design. Having said that, it pours cream elegantly; the spout design isn't suited to the combination of heavy hands and milk. So, either pour for your guests or be ready with napkins. And, after washing be prepared to devote a few minutes polishing to bring it back to a mirrored shine so that you can smile at yourself whilst admiring your purchase which is an indulgence in owning a beautiful looking design.
Tesco's and Asda do some great looking white porcelain tea and coffee sets at a knock down prices perfect for everyday use, 100% practical and nice too. You get my point folks! I give it 5 stars because I absolutely love it, but minus 1 star because my previous sentence is testimony to my use of other products on the shelves at a fraction of the price that makes lighter work of adding milk to your coffee.
