Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Canteen 6-Ounce (0.18-Liter) Double Wall Glass Thermal Tea Infuser Set
Customer Review: A Concept in Progress...
Summary: 3 Stars
The concept of a thermal tea-infuser is pretty neat. You get a 3-piece glass set:
1. A 6oz double-walled glass
2. A glass tea infuser/filter
3. A glass lid to retain the heat as well as act as saucier
PROS:
- Elegant construction and simple to use.
- All-glass construction with no contamination of metal particles.
- Borosilicate glass has low thermal expansion and thus more resistant to thermal shock similar to that of Pyrex and test tube and beakers at Science labs.
- Double-wall glass construction means the temperature of the drink is maintained longer.
- Double-wall glass construction also enables the outer glass to be cooler to the touch than the inner glass due to the space/air separation between the two.
- Clear glass enables you to see and adjust the amount of tea infused into the liquid.
- Very light and easy to maintain and clean.
CONS:
- 6oz of liquid only. Seriously. I'm not asking for a pitcher-size drink. I know this is meant to be for tea, but it would be more convenient to have a 9oz or even 12oz size infuser so I don't have to keep on steeping tea and wasting time waiting. Give us a larger size container with 6oz, 9oz and 12oz marking and let us adjust the amount of tea we want to drink that day.
- The photo of the tea infuser set in Amazon looks very elegant. In person it just looks and feels like another Science type of glassware.
- Like the other reviewers, I have a problem with the way the glass infuser/filter part was cut. There are very fine cuts which I would assume are hand cut leaving stress marks around the glass. If they can create a double-wall technique in glass-making, I would assume they have a better way of cutting thru the glass than what presently looks like small particles of glass can potentially be released while steeping my tea. That's just how I feel when I look at the small cuts.
- Also the way the filter is cut allows smaller tea leave to escape versus metal mesh filters which have a diamond cut pattern.
- The glass is light and also feels thin and flimsy. I'm afraid it can break relatively easy with a few bumps versus a ceramic mug.
OVERALL:
With the current price offering, I can only recommend this with reservations. Perhaps they should bring out a version 2 of this concept by:
- increasing the amount of liquid that it can hold
- place markings on the glass by showing 6oz, 9oz and 12oz sizing
- improve glass filter cutting by making a cleaner cut and a diamond pattern similar to the metal mesh tea filters/infusers
If the price goes below the USD20.00 mark, then it would be a better buy than it is right now.

Description of Bodum Canteen 6-Ounce (0.18-Liter) Double Wall Glass Thermal Tea Infuser Set
The Canteen Tea Cup Infuser Set by Bodum is made for design conscious tea aficionados - beautiful see-through simplicity coupled with great functionality! The double wall design of the Canteen glass creates an effective layer of insulation that keeps the tea hot for a longer period of time while the outside of the glass remains cool to the touch, keeping fingers from getting burnt. The Canteen Tea Cup Infuser Set is perfect for all types of loose leaf tea. Additionally, it allows you to view the tea while it brew and develops rich colors and taste. the filter containing tea leaves inside can be removed and used again to re-infuse the same quality loose leaf tea. All parts are made of ultra-light, temperature safe borosilicate glass. The filter ensures that leaves and kernels remain within the filter while brewing, allowing the aroma of the tea to fully evolve without the messy remains of tea leaves escaping into the cup. the lid retains the heat in the cup while the tea brews and also acts as a saucer when the filter is taken out. The glass has a capacity of 0.2l/6oz.Cookware
