GROSCHE Cairo Premium Teapot Warmer

It genuinely works! Multiple users report their tea staying warm for extended periods—some mention keeping tea hot for hours during long conversations or work sessions. The tealight candles burn for 7+ hours, so you're not constantly relighting. That said, it maintains warmth rather than reheating cold tea, so it works best when you start with a hot pot.

Yes, the top metal surface gets very hot during use—hot enough that you'll want to be careful when adjusting your teapot. However, the wide base and sturdy construction mean it's stable and won't tip easily. Just treat it like any candle-heated item: don't touch the top while it's lit, and keep it away from kids and pets.

The wide base accommodates most teapot sizes, but here's the caveat: the center opening is fairly large, so rounded or spherical teapots might feel a bit wobbly or tilt slightly. Flat-bottomed teapots work best. If your teapot has a very curved bottom, you might want to test the fit carefully. Several users specifically mention it works beautifully with ceramic and glass teapots that have stable bases.

It's genuinely beautiful! The bronze finish gets tons of compliments, and users specifically mention how stunning it looks with glass teapots—you get this lovely ambient glow from the candle shining through. It's become a centerpiece during tea sessions for many buyers. The thick metal construction also gives it a premium, heirloom quality feel rather than looking cheap.

Super easy—there's a large side opening that gives you full access to swap out tealights without lifting your teapot or awkwardly reaching underneath. You just slide in a standard tealight candle (the kind you can grab anywhere) and you're done. No fiddly mechanisms or complicated setup.

You can clean it, but be gentle. A couple users learned the hard way that harsh cleaning chemicals can strip the protective coating and lead to rust spots. Stick to mild soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. If you baby it a bit, it should stay looking great. Also, avoid spinning your teapot around on top of it—that can scratch the surface.
