I already had this model, broken stupidly. Found on amazon, I'm re-equipped. THE tea that goes well: brew tea in the central part, possibility of interrupting thanks to the central piston liter (theoretically). Practical: - Gluing the handle looks fragile: never had a problem with that side. - The glass is fine: it is resistant to heat, but given the round shape and the small flat below, attention to storage and shock. - Capacity: 1L announced is less, because of the central body to be infused. But stopping the infusion can be filled again and make a second pass tasty nonetheless. - The plastic filter: cleans well no warning coloration tea, pass machine, etc. Attention to two small plastic tabs that prevent the pot from tipping when serving. - The piston: cleans well, a bit fragile (not tried in the machine). There is just a little hole to drain water from the lower part of the filter that is undrilled to keep clear. Attention to gently squeeze, could be splashed by pressing too hard.
In short, a Bodum product at the top if it is used properly.
