I purchased some of my beautiful herbal medicinal teas from my favorite herbal remedy shop [...] ( be SURE to get their Skinny Mini tea-I lost 18 pounds and now have ZERO cellulite! ) and they recommended this product-it works great although the boil time is a bit slow. It also looks great on my counter and I love that the water is ready for me all day..highly recommend this product!

This tea infuser is definitely brilliant, although only in idea. Using it is another matter. First, the fuse basket is poorly designed. I don't think it gives loose tea enough room to fully brew. Second, the basket itself is very flimsy and extremely hard to stay securely in the pot when pouring. As soon as you reach 90 degrees the basket just falls out. You cannot hold onto the lid to keep it in place as you pour because it is very hot. The plunger is made of stainless steel, making it near impossible to leverage. All in all, a horrible product.

The Bodum Assam 4-Cup Tea Press makes brewing perfect tea from loose tea leaves both fun and simple. If you prefer loose tea to tea bags, and enjoy tea at the office, this is the way to do it. The basket easily holds five teaspoons of loose tea (one per cup plus "one for the pot"). Pour in hot water, wait four to five minutes and press down the plunger. This pushes the leaves to the bottom of the basket, and seals them in so they don't continue infusing the tea. You have perfect tea, that doesn't grow bitter, and the leaves are contained so that they can be easily disposed of. It makes enough tea so that you can serve tea to a visitor and even offer "seconds." Everything rinses out easily, too. I have one for the office and one at home.te
