Product Description
1.0 1, 34OZ CAPACITY SERVES FOUR TO FIVE PATENTED PRESS SYSTEM COMPLETELY STOPS THE BREWING AND ELIMINATES BITTER TEA.
Amazon.com Review
Eye-catching in design with swooping curves, the black plastic frame on the New Kenya tea press adds to the anticipation of the fragrant brew. Bodum makes the teapot itself of borosilicate glass, the lightweight, heat-resistant kind found in science labs; all the rest of the parts, including the filter, are made of plastic except for the stainless-steel plunging rod. The plastic frame conveniently helps insulate the bottom of the hot teapot from your table. This particular model holds 34 ounces of tea, enough to fill approximately three mugs or eight teacups. To brew tea in the New Kenya, measure loose leaf tea into the filter, add nearly-boiling water, put the lid in place, and let it brew. When you feel the tea is strong enough, depress the plunger. The leaves are compacted, which stops the brewing process. That way, you can enjoy the serene act of brewing the tea at your table without having the mess of removing the filter. After use, all the parts may be rinsed or washed by hand or placed in the dishwasher. --Ann Bieri

 Makes great tea, quickly September 20, 2008
H. J. Greenleaf (Spanaway, WA USA)
My wife tried tea from a tea press at a friends home and wanted one. I bought the tea press on sale from Amazon. She liked it so much we bought one at full price for our daughter in Maryland. She says it makes great tea also.
Great teapot! September 18, 2008

I love this teapot. It makes my tea taste great and it looks beautiful.
Great Product September 16, 2008
wellington waters (Washington, DC)
This lil' thing works great...much better than the pot of boiling water we were using:) And then it looks slick.
 Tea should be very warm September 14, 2008

This pot with the press makes great tea, but there's no way to keep it warm! The black design on the outside is plastic and even covers some of the bottom so there is no way to keep the tea warm. I use it by making the tea in the pot then pouring it into a ceramic pot that I can put on a cup warmer. I do not advise anyone who isn't going to drink the tea within a few minutes of brewing it to buy this pot.
 Does the job, but not a high-quality item August 10, 2008
Max Hrabrov (NY, NY, USA)
This tea press does the job, but the quality and overall feel leave something to be desired. Every component except for the pot itself is made of plastic, and not the high-quality kind. The plastic used for the inner brew basket is not the hard, transparent type, but rather the white semi-translucent type (similar to milk containers), which looks cheap and unattractive. The soft rubber ring that provides the seal between the plunger and the sides of the brew basket is not attached in any permanent fashion, and comes off easily if you push the plunger down too aggressively.
The tea-making process itself works well enough, and the black plastic on the outside is a nice touch because it means you don't have to worry when putting your tea press on heat-sensitive surfaces.
Overall, I'd recommend this for use at the office or for travel, but not for your home. I am planning to get a higher quality pot to replace this, and take this one to work.
