When you are done steeping your tea and remove the lid, has the lid become too hot to handle without burning yourself?

My answer is no. The heat is in the center of the lid, which hangs into the cup, and the rim is comfortable enough to handle.

Truthfully, I didn't keep it for very long, but I did use it for a few days and I don't recall that being an issue.

No, I've not found that to be a problem. I do remove the lid carefully using 5 fingers to pick up, turn it over so flat side down, set on the table then remove the tea bag putting in the well then pick the lid up again and put it on top of the cup, keeping tea hot. Hope this helps answer your question.

I actually killed a teapot doing that just a few months ago. Not this exact one, but one very similar to it. Teapots like this aren't designed for drastic temperature changes. If you want to warm up a pot of tea by setting it on a low simmer, the pot will survive just fine. But anything more than that? I'd be very wary of doing that.

NO, this is boil your water sep. in nice stainless steel pot, then steep your tea in this. It's a great pot I love it and it gets used every night.

I have never been burnt using the lid, though I must say I've never used it over boiling water. I have used it in many other cooking scenerios, with various levels of steam and have always felt truly safe. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Yes, that's the first thing I did when I got mine. I made a pot of tea. Since then I have made tea with both loose tea and tea bags. Turns out fine either way. Seems to work well for either tea or coffee. It's not scalding hot, but hot enough.

Not really. I use the dish as a resting spot for the infuser. Because I rinse my tea cup with boiling water before I place the tea-filled infuser on top, my tea stays plenty hot while brewing.

I can't really say for sure. I don't think I would do it. The tea stays hot for awhile though.

I find that if I fill the pot enough for a cup of tea or two, it doesn't get too hot to pick up with my hand. If I fill it to the fill line, and heat it to the point of whistling, then the handle can get a bit on the warm end of comfortable. I normally don't fill the pot, so hasn't been much of an issue for me. I really have been happy with the kettle.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

I don't know for sure but my feeling is I would not because it is so delicate. Normallyif you heat it with hot water from faucet before you put the tea in it will stay hot.

I personally don't because the loose tea can get into the lid. Once its done I take out the basket and close the lid.

No, I have never had any problem closing the lid on my Breville tea kettle, so there is not much I can contribute to a discussion about it.

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

If I actually leave the lid on then Its stays hot to the point that it scalds my tongue. After an hour I will throw the coffee out as it gets too bitter for me.

As a tea affectionado myself, I empathize with your concern. As Stoker has said, if you hold the cup only by the handles, you won't get burned. If you are worried about the titanium burning your lips as aluminum most certainly will, IMO, titanium will not transmit heat as badly as will aluminum, titanium being very close to steel in that respect. Take reasonable care, wait until the temperature of the tea is somewhere around 130 to 140 degrees and you should do fine. Thats how I prefer my FTGFOP Darjeeling in my Toaks 450ml around the campfire.

My husband heats his tea in the microwave. I do not recall the handle getting too hot. It takes 2 minutes to get water hot enough for the tea bag. So, we have not boiled anything longer than that. I use a regular tea kettle to boil water for my tea.

With owning whistling kettles in the past, I can see how it can get too hot on the handle and top. If I walk away and am not conscious about the time, it can get warm, but I've only had it too hot to handle once. Sounds like it might have been over filled if it boils over. Technically only meant for drip, not massive amounts of coffee or tea.
