Glass Teapots with Infuser PluieSoleil, 500 Milliliter in Square Shape, Tea Strainers for Loose Leaf Tea Microwavable and Stovetop Safe

Update Update: The seller did indeed provide me with a replacement for this item, although it's been a bit of a story. Bottom line: these folks are VERY "chatty" -- I've gotten quite a few emails asking how I liked it, can I update my review, etc. etc. etc. to the point of it being a bit annoying. I see their perspective and appreciate the value of good reviews, but there's a lot else in my life going on than testing a teapot THE FIRST SECOND after I get home from a trip. Due to supply issues, they also provided me with an upgrade to the 750ml version instead of the 500ml version that I ordered. The new teapot that I received is well constructed -- much stronger than the first one -- and does its job well. That said, I definitely like the 500ml version better. I find that the larger version does not circulate the tea as well, so it takes longer to steep than in the 500ml version. For a one-person use, the tea also ends up steeping for too long -- the infuser in the teapot has no way to stop the tea from steeping, and the cover can't be used without the infuser... so if you're sitting at your desk working while the tea steeps, then you pour out a cup (about half of the pot), the remainder of the tea continues to steep and can end up overdone/bitter by the time you're ready to drink it. I also find that I don't drink tea quickly enough for it to be warm by the time I get to the bottom of my second cup. So... if you're looking for a two-person pot, this should be great. For one person, get the 500ml. All told -- I'm leaving this review at 5 stars because I think it's a good product and I like the design, and because I appreciate that they stay on top of their customer service requests (even though it can be a bit overbearing from the perspective of the customer). They genuinely seem to care, and that's more than I can say about many on Amazon. --- Update: after posting this review I was contacted by the seller, who offered a replacement and advised that they are working with the manufacturer to improve this issue. I am taking them up on their offer of a replacement, and am certainly impressed by their quick response! I'll update this again if all fails to go as planned... but for right now, 5 stars for great customer service. --- This is a single-use teapot (makes about a teacup and a half, maybe two) and works well for its purpose. It’s certainly not sturdy, though — after about 5 uses I set it on the counter and the corner chipped clean off! It’s too bad, because I quite liked the rest of the design. Will be looking at other options for a replacement.

I LOVE this tea pot. It is perfect for a large one cup of tea - it will make a full 15 oz cup of tea with the infuser and tea leaves submersed. I love the square design as it looks pretty cool and different than standard round ones. Hopefully tea stains will not accumulate in the corners, but I'm giving it a quick whisk with a bottle brush after each use and so far it is sparkling clean. It is very sturdy but not heavy and the stainless steel/chrome lid, which fits snugly over top, and the SS infuser are great and easy to clean as well. The handle is slightly heavier glass than the pot and stays cool to the touch. And another plus is I've never spilled a drop of tea while pouring even with the lid on and infuser and leaves still in pot. The spout is perfect. I'm buying another one as a backup. Highly recommend.

I make about 5-8 pots of tea per day and have been using this pot for almost 2 months now. The infuser is really nice and easy to clean (dump the leaves, quick rinse). I have a bottle brush for quickly cleaning the pot. The infuser and lid get tea stained after a few days because my water is very hard, so I use a little vinegar and/or plain steel wool to scrub it up. I wondered if the square corners would be hard to clean, but they're not. The infuser is very fine; I've put a very finely ground tea in with no problems. However, it also lets the flavor through and drains quickly. The pot stays warm for a long time if full (like 45 minutes if I forget I made tea). I usually steep it for 5 minutes, then pour out a large mug full. This leaves about a half cup of tea in the pot, but it sits just below the infuser and doesn't oversteep. This way, I don't have to take the infuser out. The lid and infuser are a good fit, and the pot feels good in your hand. If you pour too fast, it can run down the side, but just pour slowly enough and it's all good. The only other problem I had is attempting a one-handed pour. The lid falls off at the very end. (But just, don't do that. Use two hands like a smart person.)

The 500 ML (17.5 oz) teapot is great for brewing a couple cups of tea and reusing tea leaves for a second infusion. Its durable but delicate since its glass, I heat water in the teapot without infuser/lid in a microwave to the correct temperature, which is below 175 deg for green Sencha tea. I put the infuser with lid into the teapot and steep for 1-2 min. The only negative, the lid fits in the infuser only, it does not fit the teapot and will drop through the opening. Thus after brewing if you remove the infuser (with tea leaves) and pour a cup the remaining tea is open to air and will cool off. Overall I like the teapot and it suits my needs.

I think I am now fall in love with the shape of the glass teapot! I appreciate the beauty and quality of the product. Glass is slightly thicker than most. Important to note that it's easy to clean and the stainless steel comes off to clean. It's a very simple yet effective and fun way to make hot tea. Lightweight and beautiful.

First if all, I love the look of it. Secondly, it's easy and the tea steeps so we'll. The tea tastes full bodies and better than bags. I love it!! Cleaning it is a snap. Would recommend it if you just want a great, simple, great tasting pot of tea.

The glass tea pot is beautiful and holds 16ounces, the right amount for me. However, the infuser and lid are very thin and flimsy, making it unsuitable as a gift and I am guessing those pieces will not last long. Also the cover fits the infuser, but not the tea pot, so the infuser has to stay in when pourimg.

My wife was fascinated that it's made out of glass and amazed at how easy and convenient it is to use. I've been drinking more tea as I am trying to break an alcohol habit and this tea pot has made it so much easier. The removable infuser does an excellent job of holding the loose tea leaves and can see the dancing loose leaf tea clearly. The filter on this teapot is finer than others I have tried, it makes for easy clean up as well. All in all, it makes tasty tea and we like it very much. Works well and of good value.
