Pros: pretty, makes nice tea
Cons: fragile. bodum rips off consumers on replacement parts.

really easy to break the snaps where the plunger screws underneath the lip of the carafe. be careful. bodum totally rips you off and charges 11.00 for a replacement filter (must buy it with the plunger, they don't sell it separately) and then they charge 10.00 postage.

Pros: The plastic tea leaf strainer is incredibly easy to clean.

I purchased the Assam 3 weeks ago because teatime for me is a chance to escape the hectic day for a few minutes, and the Assam helps make that time all the more special. It's a very good looking glass kettle that allows you to brew up tea for one to four people quickly and easily.
It’s styling is elegant and modern, and even looks great sitting empty on my coffee table.

I would certainly purchase this product again.
