This one ?

yes that one.

It's fairly well-known that a spout which starts near the bottom of the
pot works far better than one which is a welded-on after-thought at the
top (as per your average cafe one-cup job) which merely dribbles tea
over the edge when slightly inclined. Something to do with the water
pressure, I think.

I have one of these natty John Lewis jobs that never drips (it also
sports a filter for use with loose tea):

Apropos the OP, I have recently moved house and so have two "new" loos.
The upstairs one has a dual-flush mechanism that works very well,
while the much older downstairs one also works well but uses about 3
times as much water ;-) I forget the make of the dual-flish one but
would certainly recommend it. I've used others which are just, well,
crap...
