ALMOST perfect! Almost! This teapot is the perfect size for making tea for just myself or for my husband or a few friends. There are a few downsides though. The bottom inchish of the tea holder part has no holes so you have to fill the teapot at least half full or more to have any real tea steeping action. The other one is that you do NOT want to push down on the top of the infuser piece to squeeze out your fresh tea from the infuser part [to make it mix faster etc.] because depending on the tea you use it squeezes out the holes and you get actually TEA bits in your tea. I actually got a little extra strainer to go in the top part of my cups and I pour the tea through that to collect any little tea bits.
Finally a real Tea pot Finally an easy way to steep more than one cup of tea at a time without improvising.Easy to use and easy to cleanup. Makes great tea from your own loose tea combinations. If you'veever steeped tea in a mason jar or two quart measuring cup this is for you. You won't be disappointed.
Bummed. I was very excited to use this product when I received it for Christmas. The first couple of times I used it I liked it even though I was getting strands of loose leaf into the tea. I thought that was a minor problem and was willing to live with it because I didn't think it was that big of a deal. After just one week of using the steeper the plastic broke off from the press portion. That was hard to live with but I thought I would give Bodum the benefit of the doubt by contacting them for a replacement part. No response. I was still willing to make it work. I continued to use it despite it losing its' primary function the press. I now had a steeping tea pot that lasted for 3 more weeks and then it broke after HANDWASHING. Geesh I feel like hulk I didn't know I was that strong that I could break this product.
Could be better Description says it has a 'stainless steel lid' this is FALSE. The lid and the infuser inside piece is plastic. In fact everything is made of plastic except the glass 'tea pot.' The inside/clear plastic absorbs the color of the tea after 67 uses and now looks very old. The poor quality plastic makes me wonder if I should even drink the tea now. Hummm ..
Not bad does the job Pretty Decent Tea maker.The size is a bit big if you're just one person drinking tea but would be idea for 23 people. Love the feature where you can seal in the leaves from over brewing of the tea leaves. The only gripe I have is that the cool down factor is pretty quick being that it is glass.
Great brewer but very fragile w/ no support from Bodum I purchased this pot in Dec. '11. It brews great tea! Something about the pot shape and the press size is just right.But The basket and press are too fragile. I dropped the press in the sink and the bottom disc broke off. I emailed Bodum's customer service and asked for a replacement press. They were polite but said that the 1 year warranty was only on the glass pot. The other parts aren't covered by the warranty. I repaired the press with epoxy putty. It held for several weeks then broke again this morning. Also a small piece broke off the rim of the brew basket. I would willingly pay more for the pot with a stainless steel basket and press.Don't buy this pot unless you a willing to handle it with kidd gloves.
Sturdy Easy to Clean I got this for my girlfriend for Christmas. I got it because I bought her a Bodum French Press last year and love their sturdy easy to clean products. This is not exception. She wanted something to make her Teavana teas in and this does an excellent job. It works much the same as her french press so if you have one by Bodum I'd reccomend this. She hasn't noticed any odors or flavors absorbed into the pot itself yet. It's only been used a handful of times but she really loves this tea maker especially compared to smaller ones that cost double that do the exact same thing.
Love This! I love this tea pot. It is awesome. I use the small pot at work and keep it at my desk and I have the large one at home for the weekends and evenings. I think it is terrific.
Fragile. After I used this teapot several times it was broken when I washed this pot. The glass was so weak and with small amount of power from women it was easily broken. Do not buy this.
the infuser is made of plastic Pretty good design convenient to use. The only problem I found is plastic infuser I understand that it's a food safe plastic but I'd rather have metal one.
