Description

The Bodum New Kenya tea press is a confluence of tradition and modernity in design. The New Kenya tea press is entirely made of plastic and glass for convenient everyday use, while offering the best brewing method for that perfect cup of tea. The handle remains cool while the plastic frame protects your tabletop from the heat of the glass teapot. Drinking tea no longer belongs to the past but will be a luxury of the future. We set out with a goal to make an innovation in tea brewing and the patented Bodum tea press system was born. Eye-catching in design with swooping curves, the black plastic frame on the New Kenya tea press adds to the anticipation of the fragrant brew. Bodum makes the teapot itself of borosilicate glass, the lightweight, heat-resistant kind found in science labs, all the rest of the parties, including the filter, are made of plastic except for the stainless-steel plunging rod. The plastic frame conveniently helps insulate the bottom of the hot teapot from your table. This particular model holds 17 ounces of tea, enough to son approximately two mugs or four Teacup. To brew tea in the New Kenya, measure loose leaf tea into the filter, add nearly-boiling water, put the lid in place, and let it brew. When you feel the tea is strong enough, fast the plunge. The leaves are compacted, Which stops the brewing process. That way, you can enjoy the serene act of brewing the tea at your table without having the mess of removing the filter. After use, all parts may be rinsed or washed by hand or place in the dishwasher. - Ann Bieri

 

Reviews

There are some things I like about this release some tea and others that I have to find a replacement. Let 's start with the pros: r + large size, 17 ounces is just for two cups of tea r + good value r + easy to clean r + looks good Rbut here ' s My cons : r-plastic filter doesn 't stick well in the pot, pour the tea if you really have to hold it with a finger or two or will pop and cause a disaster r-filter ' s holes are too large - if you like green tea or herbal tea or any finely ground leaves, the will to get the filter and into your cup. That's my biggest complaint with this r-the filter is about 1 / 5 It 's long, with no holes. That's where their tea leaves will be after the plunger. Unfortunately, that 's also that most of the leaves, while beer, so that the exchange between the tea leaves and water is very poor, while beer. For the same reason, which makes only a small amount of 6 oz tea is very difficult - the water just reaches the tea leaves!

i was about to buy a 17 oz. tea press bodum kenya and because usually only have one large mug of tea in the morning. However, the use and the large cup holds more than 20 oz. - Joined this would 't have it filled. R r, and then measure the capacity of some "default " size COFFEE MUG - each held close to 10 oz. R rbodum make great products, but there 'sa chance the volume of tea you can make at a time with this 17 oz can might not be all that you need, depending on how much you drink. R r and eventually ordered a 34 oz tea press bodum kenya instead, because of "too much is never enough. "

I like the pot I want to love him. But the filter doesn 't very good filter, the holes are big enough I ended up eating a lot of leaves. Contain It 's okay if you like to drink tea with a very large leaf, but I ' m trying all kinds of tea strainer and can not Rooibos. R rAlso, i 've only had it for a week, but the plastic is discoloring. R rI will adore this pot if you have a metal filter, but as I 'm already shopping a new pot

This tea pot is great. It 's easy to clean. Easy to carry. Makes perfect tea almost every time. I blame the bad pots on operator error due to lack of caffeine.

I bought new presses Bodum Kenya tea in small and medium-sized models. I really appreciate good quality loose tea, tea presses and is very convenient for brewing this way (although tea presses also do not fit the tea bag, as instructed). For small press I add about a year and a half tablespoons of loose tea in the strainer, and about three tablespoons for medium press. The amount you add, as always, depends on your preferences. R ri would have given the press in Kenya New 5-star, but a feature that I believe has the potential to fail, due to prolonged use. The portion of the piston of the press, tea is surrounded by a flexible plastic gasket to seal tightly to the basket when you press the tea leaves. Because this seal is made of a soft material as I can see it has the potential to wear out over time, much the same way as other joints can wear out. R rit n 'is that it comes attached to the foot or between the piston, so I guess if it is worn, the entire lid and piston assembly must be replaced. Potentially, this could be costly, but with a reduced price that Amazon currently offers these models, it might be a moot point. The new models are the first presses Bodum Kenya tea I bought, so I do not know if all models Bodum have the same type of piston assembly. R rPerhaps I'm too cautious, but I rely on reviews of many other times when making purchases, so I want to be as honest as possible. (You can decide whether my concern is important to you!) R r The most important points are that the press is simple to use, you can control the strength of your brew tea and is also very easy to clean. Oh yeah, and did I mention he is a devil of a good cup of tea!? Cheers!
