Nice modern look but difficult to clean after using March 20, 2005

I really like the appearance of this Bodum teapot, and the ability to see the brewing in progress.

That's a plus when using loose tea, but I found that the little leaves got caught in the holes of the steeping insert. Removing them took quite a bit of extra time and attention to detail. Plunging or not plunging made no difference to the problem as the leaves seem to get stuck during the steeping process as the water slowly circulates.

I am surprised I am the only one to have mentioned this drawback to date, but perhaps others are not using bulk leaf teas. I suppose using tea bags will solve the problem.

This item is now retired from daily use and will be sure to be offered for a dollar at my Spring yard sale. In the end, I found that a Chatsford teapot with plastic mesh filter insert is the best on the market. Finding a Chatsford requires the patience of a Sherlock Holmes. I do wish Amazon would carry them.

Pair this 6-cup beauty with a mug warmer and you have tea for an afternoon/evening of reading or computer work. Well designed, practical, it works! Buy this!

I love this tea press!! I will be ordering another for my mother for christmas... what better review could there be than that?! If I would reccomend it to my own mother, it deserves five whole wonderful stars. Makes fabulous tea, easy to use and ridiculously easy to clean, looks adorable and holds the perfect amount... I do a half a pot when by myself and a whole pot for tea with a friend... the small size is great and making more is so easy, who cares if you need to make a second pot? It's fun to use, too.

Not made for tea, hard to use September 20, 2004
6 out of 16 found this review helpful

This teapot is not designed for brewing tea, instead, it still keeps the coffee making process in its design. To make a good cup of tea, the plunger is never needed. The plunger doesn't stay when you pour. The spout is too close to the lip, so when you pour, the tea may leak from the lip.
Also, you only get two coffee mugs of tea out of it.

EASY TO USE, GREAT TEA! April 21, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

This tea press is very easy to use, and makes great tea. You just need to add the appropriate amount of tea to the basket, add boiling water, let the tea brew for about five minutes (black tea), and press the plunger, which isolates the tea leaves in the bottom of the basket preventing excess brewing. This way you never get bitter tea! This pot is big enough to make a thermos of tea.
