(More customer reviews)Wow, what a SUPERBLY designed and manufactured product. I'm THRILLED! I needed to replace an almost 20 year old Bodum Assam. I love Bodum products, and although I liked the look of the Assam, I never did like its plastic infuser... Within a few short months, it'll become cloudy. I was immediately intrigued with the Le Cafetiere the moment I saw it. I bought it in Apple Green (a number of colors are available). It's one of the "happiest" things in my kitchen. Here's why:
1. It's called a "2 Cup" unit, but you can EASILY brew 18 ounces, without crowding the infuser or the pot! (I've used as much as 20 ounces, but - depending on the type of tea you're brewing - things can get crowded with that much water.)
2. You can actually brew a single cup of tea. I mention this because not all teapots of this ilk will let you do that - the infusers are too high... you MUST use 10 to 12 ounces of water to reach the level of the tea. NOT SO WITH THE LE CAFETIERE!
3. You can COMPLETELY disassemble it! The pot/beaker can be removed from the frame; and the infuser holder/rim can be removed from the pot/beaker.
4. The pot/beaker is PYREX-brand glass - not some thin, fragile "borosilicate" imposter!
5. The entire unit is enamal powdercoated - a VERY durable finish. [One SMALL nit - powder coated parts must be suspended during the process, so you may find a VERY
small "blemish" UNDER the bottom of the pot. It does NOT effect the durability, and it's not visible unless you turn the pot over.)
6. The infuser and holder/rim are CHROMED STAINLESS STEEL. Gorgeous!
7. The infuser openings are EXTREMELY fine - you won't find much sediment in your cup!
8. You can actually buy REPLACEMENT PARTS at FAIR PRICES! How RARE is THAT??!!
I am COMPLETELY impressed, and will be ordering one of the larger models, plus one of their French presses as well.
