Fiesta 36-Ounce Covered Teapot Review

Fiesta 36-Ounce Covered Teapot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
although the teapot is very pleasing to the eye (shape and colors)- it is not functional at all. first of all, it is very heavy. also, the handle is awkwardly shaped which makes it difficult to hold considering the weight of it. and finally, the teapot gets very hot when you try to make tea. so overall, even though it looks nice with the collection, you should get another teapot if you plan on making tea. hope this helps...

Primula Glass Stovetop Tea Pot with Infuser Review

Primula Glass Stovetop Tea Pot with Infuser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
BE FOREWARNED: I bought this teapot for my wife as a little surprise gift little over three months ago as we're tea fans. I was impressed by the product descriptions of its 'laboratory-strength' thick glass; I had wanted to purchase a sturdy glass pot. And the fact that this was identified as dishwasher and microwave safe seemed additional testimony to its durability.
Please note: it's never been used in dishwasher OR microwave; it's been treated with great care simply because: that's how we are. And yet, just now: as the pot stood, filled on the counter: a roundish/tear-drop-shaped portion of the pot just popped OUT from the side. Untouched. It simply: broke. All by itself. A portion of the pot blew out, with attendant crack leading up to the top of the pot. And: she had made the tea about 1.5 hours previously; it wasn't even hot. But: of course, she and the counter were suddenly treated to a half-pot of tea.
VERY disappointed as well as extremely puzzled over how something like this could even happen. And it's clear there was no concussion from the outside: both the piece AND the pot show the glass blew OUTWARDS and that portion is fully intact.

Joyce Chen 25-Ounce Japanese Tetsubin Cast-Iron Year of the Monkey Teapot, Green Review

This teapot pours perfectly and is aesthetically pleasing. It keeps tea warm for at least an hour. And, importantly, is crafted in Japan (not China) and therefore is likely to be safe.

This 25 oz Year of the Monkey Japanese Tetsubin (Cast Iron Teapot) is part of the Chinese Zodiac Series which is an exclusive Joyce Chen collection.Japanese artists create a new commemorative Tetsubin to celebrate and greet each Chinese New Year. The Chinese believe the animal ruling the year in which a person is born has a profound influence on personality, saying, "This is the animal that hides in your heart." These Japanese cast iron Tetsubin with their exquisite relief designs are admired and collected not only for their quiet delicacy but also for their ability to brew a perfect cup of tea. Each hand cast, cast iron teapot comes with a stainless steel mesh infuser and is finished with porcelain enamel on the interior.Safe for the stove top but beautiful enough to use as a decor piece this Green Year of the Monkey Tetsubin features a stylized monkey in relief.The cast iron keeps brewed tea extremely hot yet the interior porcelain enamel keeps the metal from interacting with the tea or imparting a metallic taste. Whether beginning or ending the day you'll find it easy to make your favorite beverage in one of these lovely and useful teapots. Joyce Chen's slogan "Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen," reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen.Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958.The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards so she developed her own. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you.

Bodum New Kenya 34-Ounce Tea Press, Black Review

Bodum New Kenya 34-Ounce Tea Press, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Bodum New Kenya tea presses in both the small and the medium sized models. I really enjoy good quality loose tea, and the tea presses make it very convenient to brew this way (although the tea presses do also accommodate bagged tea, according to the instructions). For the small press I add about one and one half tablespoons of loose tea to the strainer, and about three tablespoons for the medium sized press. The amount you add, as always, will depend on your own preferences.
I would have given the New Kenya presses 5 stars, but for one feature that I believe has the potential for eventual failure, due to extended use. The plunger portion of the tea press is surrounded by a soft plastic gasket, to seal it closely to the basket when pressing the tea leaves. Because this gasket is made of such a soft material, I can see that it has the potential to wear out over time, much in the same way that other gaskets can become worn.
It doesn't appear that this gasket comes off or separates from the plunger, so I imagine that if it does wear out, the entire lid and plunger assembly will have to be replaced. Potentially, that could be costly, but with the reduced price that Amazon currently offers these models, it might be a moot point. The New Kenya models are the first Bodum tea presses I have purchased, so I do not know if all of the Bodum models have this same type of plunger assembly.
Perhaps I am being overly cautious, but I depend on the reviews of others many times when making purchases, so I want to be as honest as possible. (You can decide whether or not my concern is important to you!)
The most significant points are that this press is simple to use, allows you to control the strength of your brewed tea, and is also very easy to clean. Oh, yeah, and did I mention that it makes one heck of a great cup of tea!? Cheers!
JANUARY 13, 2011 UPDATE: I am happy to report that both gaskets on both pots are still working perfectly. The only thing that is keeping me from changing this review to 5 stars is that I do miss the lid on these tea pots. It would be nice to have one to cap off the pot after brewing and removing the plunger assembly.

Adagio Teas PersonaliTea 24-Ounce Ceramic Teapot with Infuser Basket Review

Adagio Teas PersonaliTea 24-Ounce Ceramic Teapot with Infuser Basket
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I adore this teapot. Before ordering it from Amazon I was afraid that it would be too small for my needs (I love a big mug of tea, and usually two!) but it was more than spacious enough. The teapot itself is very modern looking and a smooth, ceramic white. It looks like it won't hold a lot of tea, but it actually easily holds 3-4+ cups. It comes with a metal filter which is terrific (lots of more expensive pots use plastic, which stains and deteriorates over time, plus who wants plastic-leeched tea?). My filter is still looking great after a couple months of use, with no rust, and it functions beautifully. The pot is easy to clean and looks very stylish. I've seen identical pots in tea stores for $29, so this is truly a terrific value.

Cozy up to a favorite soul-warming brew with help from this 21-ounce personal-size teapot. Sleek, compact, and attractively simple, the elegant pot's glossy ceramic construction ensures excellent heat retention--which means water stays hotter longer for cup after cup of soothing tea. Furthermore, its large stainless-steel infuser basket allows ample room for tea leaves to fully unfurl when brewing spicy, fruity, or savory teas right in the pot. To use, simply fill the basket with loose tea leaves, place it into the water-filled base, and seal with the included ceramic cover, steeping to reach the desired flavor. The pot can also be used to heat plain water for pouring over conventional in-the-mug tea bags, or to fill with coffee, cider, or other beverages to keep close at hand when working or in the evening when curling up with a book. Equipped with a large ergonomic handle and drip-free spout, the handsome pot transports easily from the kitchen to the table or sitting room, and it can go safely in the microwave and dishwasher for quick heating and cleanup. The 21-ounce personal-size teapot measures approximately 6 by 7 by 3-1/2 inches.

Adagio Teas Ingenuitea Teapot Review

Adagio Teas Ingenuitea Teapot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife bought one of these when we were vacationing in Eureka Springs a year ago, and I thought it was another gizmo to add to the cupboard. Was I wrong. I started using it more and more, mostly for green tea, and thought it would be good to have one for work as well. So I ordered one from Cooking.com and use it all the time. I just put the tea leaves in the container, add hot water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then set it on top of my cup. The valve on the bottom opens up and the tea pours into the cup, with out the leaves (with the green tea I buy from China, the leaves are full leaves, and I can get another 2 cups out of it, so refilling is easy). The nice thing is, I can use it for coffee as well as black tea. The coffee, especially if you grind your own, tastes so much better. To clean, I just invert in a trash can, and rinse out what's left.

Great for the office or when traveling, this innovative teapot releases infused tea into a drinking cup. When tea is ready, simply place it atop the cup, causing a valve at the bottom to release and crystal-clear tea to flow down. A mesh filter retains all the leaves with one of the best infusers on the market. Dishwasher and microwave safe, the teapot is made in Taiwan of food-grade plastic. It holds up to 16 ounces and has an easy-grip handle.
