DESCRIPTION
With its stand alone and teapot versions, CPTs are a cleaning pads
for tea makers. During the boiling process in the tea maker, the
condensing water accumulates as drops at the upper teapot base.
Accumulated water drops hang on the base due to the surface tension
force between the base and the water molecules. During the serving
process these drops fall down and create a problem for the user. CPTs
offer a practical and simple solution for this problem. CPT is used with
a napkin and can rest on any flat surface. Before serving, the teapot
is wiped onto the CPT’s upper surface to get rid of the hanging water
drops under the teapot.
CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTS

manuals to wipe the base of the upper teapot onto the heater’s edge to
get rid of the accumulated water drops before serving. However the rigid
edges of these heaters fail to wipe the accumulated waters drops from
the base of the upper teapot.
