Glass Tea Pot Gift Set - Tempered Glass w/Infuser and Cups in Elegant Box Review

Average Reviews:

The glasses appear durable, but I won't put them in the dishwasher. You should wash them right after use and not leave in the sink with other dishes as they may crack and the slightest crack renders then useless. I have some other glasses and tea pots, and this one seems a little lower quality that the ones made by Purilina. But the set is nice when you have a guest over for tea.

Beautiful and practical, the clear (tempered glass) teapot lets you see when your tea is ready. The infuser lets you watch the tea blossom and brew while keeping it separate from the water. Gift set includes two tea cups and tea. Dishwasher safe. Not made for stove-top use. Pot: 20 oz., Cups: 1.7 oz., 8 blossom green tea: 70g - 8" x 8" x 4"

Clear Glass Teapot with Infuser - Glass Teapots Review

Clear Glass Teapot with Infuser - Glass Teapots
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's a little smaller than I expected it to be for the price, but it's a very lovely teapot. The basket it came with is well made, and both the scoop and trivet are also a pretty wood (bamboo, I think) and well made. The spout of the teapot is hard to clean without some sort of tool or pipe cleaner. It's a little too small to get a sponge in there, so I've already got a bit of leftover tea buildup just inside the spout. I use this teapot every day at work, and it's held up well. My only complaint besides the hard to clean part is that it's not insulated, so the tea gets cold relatively quickly. This is a wonderful teapot for about 3 full cups of tea, and it shows off blooming tea very well.

This 33.8 ounce glass teapot is made of borosilicate laboratory glass that holds heat longer than regular glass and the stainless steel mesh infuser contains the tea leaves while brewing and removes easily so you don't overstep your tea. Also included are a sturdy bamboo trivet to protect your tabletop, desk or tea party tray and a bamboo tea scoop - ideal for scooping loose leaf tea as it causes less breakage of the tea leaves. This sturdy teapot and teapot infuser are dishwasher safe and sturdy enough to use every day - great for home use and a welcome gift for the tea lover in your life. Always fill the teapot with hot water boiled in a separate kettle. Teapot is NOT TO BE USED ON A STOVETOP OR OPEN FLAME. Bamboo scoop and trivet are not dishwasher safe, wash them gently by hand with mild soap and warm water.

GROSCHE Merlin Thermal Glass Infuser Teapot 1200 ml 40 fl oz. capacity stovetop safe for loose tea Review

GROSCHE Merlin Thermal Glass Infuser Teapot 1200 ml 40 fl oz. capacity stovetop safe for loose tea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros:
- It's beautiful. Tea looks beautiful in it.
- It has a lovely pour.
Cons:
- You must make a full pot of tea, or at least 34oz in order to use the pot, because the infuser does not reach anywhere close to the bottom of the pot.
- The glass infuser has 12 razor-thin slits in the bottom of it. That's it. Loose whole-bud chamomile clogs it once it breaks down.
- Though it's thermal, the tea does not stay hot in it for more than 10 - 15 minutes. You must keep it on a heating element.
- It's extremely fragile. I thought this thermal glass would be much thicker. The glass is very thin, and considering there are 3 interacting pieces (top, pot, infuser), it feels as though you could break any piece just by clicking it too hard against another piece.
- You cannot remove the infuser and put the top back on, as another reviewer stated. It will fall through the pot.
I decided to return it.

This unique GROSCHE Design will inspire the most luxurious tea experience! Made of strong and lightweight GROSCHE medical grade Borosilicate Glass, this 1.2 liter full capacity (40 fl oz) tea pot makes 6 tea cups per steeping. Great for entertaining, it's a visual masterpiece to show off your teas as they steep and give color to the pot. It comes with a borosilicate glass steeper - infuser basket to hold your fine loose-leaf teas. Perfect for use with the GROSCHE SAHARA Tea pot warmer (not included) to keep your tea warm for hours.Since this teapot is made of heat resistant glass that is similar to Pyrex, it can also be used on a gas stovetop on low to medium flame as a water kettle. You can boil the water in the pot, and then just add 2-3 tsp of your favorite gourmet loose leaf tea and allow it to steep for a few minutes. once you have poured out all the tea from the pot, you can easily add more hot water and your gourmet tea leaves will re-steep and give you another great pot of tea. This works best with loose leaf and gourmet teas, green teas, and naturally flavored green teas (not ideal for flowering teas as it is meant only to be used with the included infuser).It is dishwasher and microwave safe as well- of course since its glass - you will want to handle it with appropriate care like Glass. This high quality GROSCHE tea pot is guaranteed for life against ever becoming cloudy even after many, many years of use.Since it is made of GROSCHE Borosilicate Glass,it is lightweight yet very strong and will give you years of use. It is a 3 piece teapot, with the pot itself, the built in steeper, and the cover for the teapot. it comes in the original GROSCHE packaging box.Remember to pick up your GROSCHE SAHARA teapot warmer along with this for a visual and a flavorful tea steeping experience! They make great gifts too!

The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker Review

The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had 2 other machines. The Zarfina and the TriniTea, neither was truly impressive. This machine blew my socks off.
First - the construction. Stainless steel, glass, black rubber, and plexiglass for the kettle handle.
Second - totally customizable brew temperature (160 degrees - 212 degrees, 5 degree increments), customizable brew time (1:00 to 10:00 in 0:30 increments).
Third - amazing magnetically suspended tea basket moves in and out of the tea during brewing.
Fourth - keep warm feature, timed start feature, it also keeps track of the time since you brewed the tea so you can track its freshness.
Fifth - can operate as an electric kettle, and just heat water if you leave out the basket.
One thing to consider is that the kettle cannot be placed in the dishwasher. To clean you boil water or vinegar for 3:00.
The one thing I feel is that I have gotten every bit of my money's worth from this item. Nothing about it feels cheaply made. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves tea.

Adagio Teas Glass Teapot Review

Adagio Teas Glass Teapot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Adagio really got it right.
First of all, the photo doesn't quite do it justice, I think - this is a nice, simple, yet elegant teapot. Very pretty.
The infuser makes it a piece of cake to enjoy loose leaf teas (which are generally much better than most of the bagged stuff out there). The infuser comes out, and it easy to clean. Also, because the teapot is glass and the infuser is removable, this teapot is ideal for blooming teas.
The only part that is hard to clean is the spout. I think a little bottle brush or maybe some pipe cleaners ought to do the trick, though.
Maybe best of all, THIS TEAPOT DOES NOT DRIP!! The spout is designed in such a way that the tea pours and doesn't make a mess! It's wonderful!

GROSCHE GLASGOW Glass Teapot and Kettle with Infuser - Stovetop Safe , 1000 ml 34 Fl Oz capacity Review

GROSCHE GLASGOW Glass Teapot and Kettle with Infuser - Stovetop Safe , 1000 ml 34 Fl Oz capacity

Pay heed to the one-star review. I was just rinsing the lid off with lukewarm water and it cracked and broke. The lid had sat and cooled to room temperature before I rinsed it. It was never dropped or mishandled in any way. Very strange. Grosche offers a replacement lid and infuser set but Amazon doesn't offer it for sale!!!! It really kinda sucks too because this is a great tea pot otherwise.
Sept 17 2010 UPDATE!!!!
When this originally happened I emailed the company and they said the infuser/lid replacements were out of stock and they would be available in a few weeks on Amazon (which they now are). However, last week I received an email from thier customer service saying that for being so patient they were going to send me a new infuser/lid at NO CHARGE!!! I got it in the mail today. Awesome!!! Awesome!!! Awesome!!! Thanks Grosche! This product is now FIVE STARS all the way!!!
