In terms of functionality, both our original ingenuiTEA and its updated version 2 work the same. The main difference between them is the aesthetics and the filters. 

Version 2 also comes with a handy drip tray. 

Microwave Safe!
The ingenuiTEA 2 has a removable BPA-free plastic filter, which means the entire unit is microwave safe. (Original IngenuiTEA has a built-in, stainless steel infuser).

Tritan Plastic
To reduce the chance of shattering, the teapot is made of Tritan, a plastic specially-formulated to be safe in hot-temperature applications and is 100% BPA-free. Luckily, our older polycarbonate models were also tested to be BPA free.

Cleaning
The lid of the teapot may also be removed for easy placement in the dishwasher. To replace, simply return the lid to its original position and snap in place with a gentle push. Please note that we do not carry replacement lids for the unit.

Removing the bottom grey plate is not recommended and may damage the unit. This is not covered by warranty.

Discoloration
Tannins in tea may impart color to the teapot over time. To remove discoloration, we recommend submerging the unit in a vinegar and water solution, and leaving to soak overnight.

Leaking
Tea leaves or other debris may get caught in the opening at the bottom, causing the teapot to leak. A strong burst of air is all that's required to dislodge any debris. Simply turn the teapot up-side-down and blow vigorously into the opening at the center. If a stronger burst of air is required, we recommend using a hair drier.
