They really thought of everything with this iteration. The distiller top has a handle so you can lift it off without getting burned by the very hot steam coming out. The pot is the selling point, though. A huge glass pot with a handle that holds as much as the distiller holds, designed to let the water drip in with the lid on to keep any dust from getting in the water, and the glass pot has a silicone no skid pad that fits onto the bottom. Additionally, there’s a nozzle extender you can put on the nozzle where the distilled water drips out if you want to use a catch that’s shorter to ensure that the water goes into the catch. They make two versions of this iteration, this particular one is simple and has only on and off buttons. You can get the other version that has an LED screen and can be programmed. That feature was unnecessary for me so I got this one with just the on/off buttons. I’m really, really pleased with this. With the last distiller, it came with a plastic jug to drip into, but I don’t like using plastic so we were using a coffee globe that wasn’t designed to work with the distiller so the distiller only just barely managed to drip water into the globe, and if anybody accidentally even slightly bumped it, it would be out of alignment and the water would run all over the counter soaking everything. So I’m super happy with this purchase, I’m really impressed with how they thought of everything when designing this set. The only drawback is you have to attach the handle to the glass pot yourself. This was no easy feat, it ended up being a two person job. Hint: it’s a lot easier if you lay the pot on its side when attaching the handle. But even that aside, this set is the best there is.
