Looks good, ok quality June 25, 2006
I bought this tea pot for my wife. She loves it. It looks nice and doesn't look cheap, well, it ain't cheap anyway. Quality is so-so. Probably won't buy another if this one breaks.

Easiest way to brew tea, loose leaf or bags June 17, 2006

I love it. Press it down when brew time is over. If I want iced tea, I'll dump out the leaves and replace the infuser with lid to secure it, and put it in the refrigerator. Works great.

Principle and Form Good, Product Flawed May 9, 2006

As other reviewers have noted, the plastic basket in this teapot is very shoddily constructed. It doesn't fit snugly into the rim of the carafe because the plastic tabs are too poor quality. I received my tea press six days ago and the plastic filter, which already seemed cracked and scratched, has gotten much worse for the wear (despite very gentle handling).

That said, the design idea is great and the size is perfect. I can imagine that a stainless steel version of the same product would be optimal; if you can find one, buy that instead of this. The tea press is definitely the best way to make tea in large quantities, and is extremely easy to clean.

Cheaply made, broken upon receipt of package May 6, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I ordered the 6-cup Assam Tea Press because I drink a lot of tea and it was the only tea-press I could find that was that large. I received my package and found that two of the three plastic tabs that hold the lid/basket/plunger in place when you pour tea were broken and loose in the box. I sent it back for a replacement. Upon receiving the second try, one of the three plastic tabs were broken off. I'm sure it works great but I never got to try it because of the cheaply made plastic assembly. I am trying the smaller version with the glass handle and stainless steel basket to see if the quality is better.

Don't buy this one... March 31, 2006

It's about 50% plastic. The filter is plastic, the handle is plastic. I was really shocked at how cheaply this was made. Get the other one for ten more dollars and get a stainless steel press and have the pot be completely glass.
