Short steeps ensure the tea is still hot when poured, while small volumes allow the tea to cool quickly for drinking. In many ways, small pots simply allow for more precision in the brew, since the water is infused with flavor more quickly, and can be drained from the leaves all at once.
A 12 oz. teapot (2 cup) will pour 2 normal teacups or 1 mug.

This implies that when water reaches boiling, the kettle automatically switches itself off. Also popular in the market are the ceramic electric kettles.
