Bodum Assam Tea Press, Permanent Filter, Glass Handle, 1.0 L/34 oz -Black, Stainless Steel

Muito boa, prática e resistente.

I was hesitating to buy a boll shape teapot. It's till a bit space consuming (when storing), but otherwise this 1L pot is the perfect size (amount of tea) and practical for use and cleaning for us.

Great for my herbal teas, perfect size

This is a well-made teapot. Its all-glass body (including the moulded in handle) makes it easy to see just how strong the brew is. The stainless steel infuser is certainly large enough to contain enough tea (or herbal mix if you prefer) for a couple of large mugs of really strong brew, and the gasket which holds it in place is solid enough to seal the neck. The piston is also a good one, with a soft gasket to stop even very small particles from getting past it. As the parts which come into contact with the tea are glass, stainless steel, or a high quality plastic, it's easy to clean, something which I appreciate more these days. I was also worried that the glass handle would be slippery, but the shape gives me a good grip of it, and makes pouring very easy. I already had the cheaper version with a plastic infuser and handle, and overall, I'm glad I forked out for the more expensive model. There are a couple of very minor niggles, however. Firstly, I rather wish that the “little perforations” continued the whole length of the infuser. Secondly, it's harder to get the used leaves out of the steel infuser than it is the plastic one, where they quite literally drop out as a solid plug. But these are very minor complaints on what is a generally excellent teapot.

Dopo un'esperienza più che ottima con i bicchieri Bodum, ho voluto provare questa teiera e posso dire di esserne molto soddisfatta! La capienza è ottimale per godersi ben più di un paio di tazze e la temperatura è mantenuta ad un buon livello per quasi una quarantina di minuti. L'infusore centrale è dotato di uno stantuffo che permette di "rinchiudere" le erbe sul fondo, una volta ultimato il tempo di infusione, evitando così che l'infusione prosegua. Questo sistema per me si rivela ottimo per tè non pregiati e infusi ma lo eviterei se siete amanti dei tè puri che richiedono infusioni precise per essere gustati al meglio. Suggerisco solo di lavare con cura e attenzione la teiera, che appare comunque delicata.
