Bodum Assam Tea Pot

Pros: Easy to use, can see how strong tea is. Plunger stops brewing
Cons: none that I have found so far

I have seen this pot around quite a few places such as Target and Foley's. I had been wanting one for a while and finally gave in and bought one. Mine has a tea warmer with it to make sure the tea stays warm though which is nice unlike the cork coaster...

Pros: Attractive design, allows for control over brewing, nifty to watch
Cons: Plastic basket gets stained, spout dribbles a bit

Tea-time can be many things: an elaborate ceremony, a peaceful oasis in a busy day, or a lively chat with friends. Bodum's beautiful Assam Tea Press suits these moments perfectly.

I became interested in tea presses when my father-in-law began...

Pros: Detailed in review, but mostly being able to see how strong your tea is getting
Cons: Water doesn't retain heat as long as I'd like

I bought this teapot for several reasons:

-- I was on the look out for a teapot to use at the office to encourage me to keep up on my liquid intake seeing as how my dentist forbids me to drink lemon water anymore... Gggrrr....

...

Pros: Pretty.
Cons: A lot of bumps in the "I'm making tea" road.

Several years ago I shopped around for the perfect tea brewer for my wife. I didn't shop tirelessly or even extensively. I saw this one pretty early on and was infatuated with it. Why? Because I had a Bodum coffee press, and was attracted by the...

Pros: Easy to use and clean, fun and flavorful tea, very good quality.
Cons: fragile.

Do you like tea? If you are anything like me, quality tea means your happiness, your relaxation, your world. I drink tea during every waking moment, by every brand I can find... So when I want fresh, quality tea, I know where to turn. I'd consider myself...

Pros: Looks beautiful, great in theory
Cons: Clear plastic parts discolour, our mechanism broke in time. Fills slowly, tea leaves tend to clog up plunge mechanism, difficult to clean.

This is one of those products that makes you go "where have you been all my life?" We both like tea, but neither of us are fond of overly stewed tea. So this cafetiere approach looked ideal. Or perhaps we should call it a thetiere? Whatever....

Pros: easy to clean, easy to brew,
Cons: only makes 4 - 6 cups of tea, tea cools quickly in pot

I really enjoy tea. I enjoy the process of brewing it and savoring a fresh cup of piping hot tea. I enjoy the ease of pre-measured tea bags. Also, I enjoy spooning loose leaves into a pre-warmed teapot also. Bodum's Assam teapot is good for either...

Pros: Beautiful, helps you brew your tea precisely, durable.
Cons: Takes practice to get it down pat.

The first thing that you notice about Bodum's Assam Tea Pot is the fact that it's beautiful. Simple lines, and a clear body to let you watch your leaves dance were the features that initially attracted me to this tea pot. I was able to purchase one in...

Pros: Ease of use (for loose tea users), ability to watch tea brew, affordable
Cons: none really; maybe the fragility of glass

I am a thoroughly converted (from coffee) tea drinker. I make at least one pot of tea a day (usually more) and was looking for the perfect tea brewing system. This teapot was recommended to me by a Los Angeles Times food writer who searched for and ...
