Porcelain jugs

What capacity should a good porcelain jug have?

A good porcelain jug should have a capacity to suit our needs. For everyday use, pots with a capacity of around 1 litre are best, then it is possible to prepare tea or coffee at the same time for all members of the household, for example for breakfast or dinner. Porcelain jugs with a capacity of around 500 millilitres and an attached cup have also become very popular. This solution is great for tea connoisseurs who want to enjoy a hot drink during cold evenings. It is also worth remembering to think about the purchase of a vessel that will be suitable for parties - in such cases, porcelain jugs with a capacity of at least 1.6 litres will work well.

Which porcelain jug for coffee and which for tea?

Porcelain teapots are divided into vessels for brewing tea and coffee. Although for many consumers the differences between the two are not clearly discernible, we can notice certain nuances in their construction:

• 
  
  
• In terms of size, a porcelain tea pot is generally smaller than one intended for coffee. They usually have a capacity of around 1 litre, while porcelain coffee pots hold an average of 2 litres of the beverage.
  
  
• The two pieces of crockery also differ in shape - the porcelain coffee pot is usually slimmer than the tea pot, which is lower and wider, often with a bulbous shape.
  
  
• Both coffee and tea pots made of porcelain have a neck through which it is possible to pour the beverage conveniently. Often there is also a strainer inside to catch tea leaves, for example.
