Bodum1801-16 ASSAM Tea Press , Permanent Filter, Glass Handle, 1.0 L/34 oz) - Black/transparent

Best teapot I've ever used. I bought the 1 litre version. Easy to use, easy to clean, makes a delicious cuppa. I recommend highly. The spout does not drip at all, a perfect pour every time with no mess. Mine has a glass handle which is the perfect size and does not get too hot. The "permanent" filter can easily be removed for cleaning, it is not clear in the description if this is the case.

This was my third Bodum teapot. It stands out as being stronger and more durable than the smaller pots I previously had.Heat-resistant glass suffers from thermal stress when filled with boiling water. Although the glass is designed to withstand this, nevertheless it does warp a fraction when rapidly heated. My two smaller Bodum pots broke spontaneously after about 18 months' of daily use. They just suddenly fell apart while being filled.The 1.5L version, this one, is made of noticeably thicker glass which is better able to withstand repeated thermal stress. I have used mine for two years' now - say 2,000-odd brews - and am confident it will keep going indefinitely.All that said, the design is excellent and it makes lovely, fresh, tea. The large size isn't an inconvenience - filling it less than a third full?: then give it a swish around while brewing and after pressing the plunger. The press separates the tea from the brew very well and keeps the tea from becoming bitter.Tip: to help prevent accidental damage to the glass, e.g. chipping from a knock when not in use, I keep mine in a wooden bowl. I have also stuck transparent strips of protective laminate around the pot. This further reduces the chance of accidental chipping if it is knocked against something hard.Lastly, the pot's low mass means that pre-warming is unnecessary. A minor detail, but helpful for a tea addict like me.

I am really pleased with this teapot. Its nice and big - you can get 5 mugs of tea out of it. The volume means that there is plenty of space and heat to brew a good cup of tea. Guests have complimented us on our tea. We have noticed a surprising improve,meant in flavour over the same same tea brewed in our old teapot. It seems to keep the tea hot for ages too.Only downside is that the handle has been put on rather wonky. Could do with a bit better quality control at this price level.

I bought this to replace an original which I have had for about 20 years. The old one still works, but the infuser and plunger had seen better days and the plastic lid cracked.This one's better: the stainless infuser allows better flow of boiling water and is easier to clean; the plunger and lid are more robust and the silicone ring between the infuser and the pot holds the infuser in place. Best of all, the pot is the same size & shape as the old one, so I have a spare.The single downside is the glass handle. It seems like it'll be the think to break (so far so good, though...) and it gets hot when under a tea-cosy, which the old plastic one never did. That's the only reason it has lost a star.Oh, and it still makes most excellent tea!!!

A very convenient teapot! Easy to clean, keeps heat for a long time and is very convenient to stop the brewing process. I recommend to everyone!

Lovely pot, handle can get very hot sometimes so 4 rather than five stars but wont be rushing to change this.Revised to 1 star. Received on Christmas Eve. used 2-3 times a day since then, worked ok but became aware that it was not plunging as efficiently as my old Bodum that it replaced and the steel lid would not always fit properly. Then on 20 January a large hole appeared in the bottom of the pot, spilling an entire pot of tea on the worktop. This was my third Bodum, dropped and smashed the first, replacement lasted years until the plastic plunger broke. Will not be getting another.

This teapot is great, holds enough for two mugs and looks stylish.

I really loved the first one that I bought in 2018, but when I had to rebuy one in 2024 I found that Bodum had slightly updated the design. The narrower handle is uncomfortable, but the worst bit is that it tends to leak around the filter when you pour out the tea. Not great.
