Makes the perfect cup of tea
This gem of a tea press is simple to use and keeps tea piping hot. I have used the Bodum Assam Tea Press for a few years with a few minor "could be improveds," the main one being that the tea cools down quickly, even when using a tea cosy. The Bora Bora is a huge improvement. The tea stays as hot as freshly brewed, clear, and does not get bitter. Another improvement from the Assam is the basket the loose tea goes in fits tighter and doesn't overflow when water is added. The pot is easy to clean, and is as simple to use as a tea bag. This pot is very good looking and well designed. If Bodum comes out with a four cup Bora Bora Doublewall Thermo Tea Press I will buy it as well! May be a bit pricey, but does what it is supposed to do and looks fantastic doing it.

Sturdier than it looks and really keeps tea hot
I love the double wall glasses and bought the teapot when I saw it was available. I use the teapot and the glasses together--a great pair. I get four glasses of tea from the pot, and the last one is still at an enjoyable drinking temperature. I don't use a tea cozy, and this pot is better than any ceramic one I have used. The glass is thin and certainly looks fragile; possibly not the best thing to have in a house with small children. But I've had the glasses well over a year, and the teapot several months, with no breakage. And the teapot does sit out on my counter. Laboratory glassware is just tougher than you think--it is not lead crystal. The infuser works well also, and it is very nice to be able to stop the brewing without having to dispose immediately of the tea leaves or their container. For me, it's been worth the price.

Near perfect small pot......but FRAGILE
This is a wonderful little tea pot. Although only 2 cups capacity the pot is easy to use and extremely well designed. Tea is placed in the infuser, off boil water poured on top and the brew process easily gauged by the clear see through design. Once the perfect steep is achieved, compress the plunger and the steeping process is terminated. The double wall design is not as efficient as a vacuum container but keeps the rather small volume more than hot enough to finish off a perfect pot.

My only reservation is the sense of impending doom stemming from the very thin laboratory style glass. This is not a pot to leave out in the open as it the spout and handle look particularly vulnuerable, but so far so good. Just wish it was larger and about twice as thick.
