When the British Tea Council asked Bodum to develop a new way of brewing tea, the result was this unique press that’s almost as much fun to look at as it is to use. Simply fill the strainer with tea leaves and add boiling water–a slow process, but well worth the time. (You could also use tea bags, but why would you want to?) The clear jug lets you see the tea as it’s steeping, allowing you to customize its strength to your taste. When the tea is strong enough, slowly depress the plunger to stop the brewing. You won’t have any tea leaves to read at the bottom of your cup, but there’s no mess and no need to remove the strainer before you pour. But be forewarned: the Bodum press doesn’t retain heat quite as well as a traditional teapot, so you might want to use a tea cozy if you’re not drinking the whole pot in one sitting. It’s a shame to cover up such a beautiful design, but that’s the way the tea leaf tumbles. –Mary Park
Ok, but not as good as the smaller version We had the smaller version of this pot for years and LOVED it until the beaker finally cracked. This larger version is clunkier. The push action is sticky, and the lid rocks when you push. When it’s full, you have to be careful to get the glass up to the spout for pouring. Still like it, but it’s not as awesome as the smaller version.
Almost a Perfect Tea Pot, but Not Quite My wife and I like to make a pot of tea every morning. We usually drink a cup right away, and drink the remainder throughout the rest of the day. The size of this 1.5L tea pot is perfect for doing that. I also like the quality of the glass and the stainless steel strainer. Everything seems to be well made. However, there are a few design shortcomings that I want to mention. Hopefully, the manufacturer will read my comments and improve on the product. First of all, the packaging — the…
I wouldn’t waste my money on one of these again This teapot cracked when I poured hot water into it after only 8 months of normal use. I contacted both amazon and Bodum. It falls outside of the amazon return window, so I was directed to bodum. They wouldn’t stand behind their product and only offered me a 20% coupon to use at bodum.com. I wouldn’t waste my money on one of these again!! Very disappointing.
