Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Assam 51-Ounce Tea Press
Customer Review: I got rid of mine
Summary: 1 Stars
I can not possibly understand why they would make the strainer basket out of plastic. Why would I want to subject plastic to boiled water? There is a great deal of concern with plastics reaction to heat today. Is this plastic safe? I don't know. I emailed the company asking exactly what kind of plastic is used. They responded the plastic used is safe for human use. ???
That's their opinion without knowing exactly what plastic is used who knows if it is safe. Why not use stainless steel strainers in all their units?
Customer Review: WONDEFUL!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tea press!! I will be ordering another for my mother for christmas... what better review could there be than that?! If I would reccomend it to my own mother, it deserves five whole wonderful stars. Makes fabulous tea, easy to use and ridiculously easy to clean, looks adorable and holds the perfect amount... I do a half a pot when by myself and a whole pot for tea with a friend... the small size is great and making more is so easy, who cares if you need to make a second pot? It's fun to use, too.Customer Review: Durable and works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had our tea press for 5 months and have used it every day. It's very durable and only recently got a knick taken out of the pouring spout. Still works though! I wasn't sure how to measure the tea out, but there's a line etched into the center piece that we fill it up to. The center piece is plastic so it's tea stained, but the entire pot is easy to clean. You brew the tea, empty the leaves out of the center piece, then put the center piece back in the pot for storage. It's part of the lid.Customer Review: Decent tea press that is easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
Being a novice tea drinker, this is my first tea press and so far, I have been happy with it. It looks good and seems to get the job done relative to making tea. Its main drawback is that it doesn't do a good job of keeping the tea warm enough. I wrap a dish towel around it to help retain the heat. Cleaning the tea out of the infuser is somewhat of a pain, but I think it is just the "nature of the beast" and not a design problem. I would definately recommend this product.Customer Review: Love it
Summary: 4 Stars
It's just what I was looking for. The only drawback is that with really fine teas (like Rooibos), the filter holes allow a lot to escape into the main part of the pot. On the plus side, that makes clean-up really easy.
The best thing about it is that I get 1.5L of my favourite loose-leaf tea without having to fuss with infusers and you can stop the brewing when it reaches the right strength. Oh yes, one more thing--the pouring spout is virtually drip-free!
