Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Assam 4-Cup Tea Press TeapotCustomer Review: a lovely product if you are using it for what it's made for Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this with the bodum tea warmer (the electic one they sell here) and use it every morning at work. It is WONDERFUL, as I can brew up tea or just have hot water on hand for teabags or my chai tea mixes. There's a hot water tap at work from the coffee maker, so it's simple to fill up. If I had this at home, I'd get a 4-cup pyrex cup so I could microwave that much water at once.CLEANING: You use a scrub brush every few days if needed. One of those yellow sponges with green scrubbies on them. The infuster does NOT hold on to flavor unless you are simply not washing it. The infuser is plastic, so if you don't actually wash it off but just run water over it, yes it will retain odor/taste. You have to have a semi abrasive action to take off whatever hangs around. Really not an issue if you aren't a completely lazy bum. Takes me about 30 seconds to run a scrubby sponge around the inside and outside and I only need to do that if I've left it sitting around for hours on end with strong tea leaves inside. The plunger does NOT get stuck unless you are a complete weakling or have a defective product. There's suction at work once you've pushed it all the way down, so of course it won't glide up smoothly with a light tug. I probably use more strength opening a jar of jam than I do lifting the plunger. Combine this with the warmer and you've a GREAT product. You can have tea on hand for hours and sip your mornings away. They also sell a 2 cup and a 6 cup model. Judge how much you might drink and then pick the one that suits you best. I sometimes wish I had the 6 cup one instead, as I find that if I have that much tea on hand at my desk, it's very easy to drink and suddenly find it all gone without thinking about it. I love it.
Description of Bodum Assam 4-Cup Tea Press TeapotThe Assam is the most popular tea press in the Bodum tea maker collection. This could be due to the fact that this practical and easy to use tea maker infuses the most delicious aromas of your preferred tea, whether an herbal mint, as you might enjoy in Marrakech, or a "two leaves and a bud" first flush Darjeeling. The ABS plastic handle is fixed to the heat resistant glass with high-tech adhesive to provide a secure and easy grip when pouring your hot, aromatic tea. The unique Bodum tea press strainer, made of polycarbonate plastic, can be cleaned in the dishwasher together with the teapot making it the ultimate everyday tea maker. Who knows more about tea than the British? 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
