Adagio Teas 16 oz. ingenuiTEA Bottom-Dispensing Teapot
Unlike the 'French Press' teapots which crush and bruise the leaves, our teapot's ingenious design uses gravity, not force, to strain the leaves. The clean-up is equally as easy as the teapot is dishwasher safe. Great for the office or when traveling, this innovative teapot releases infused tea directly into a drinking cup.
Reviews
"Watch how easy it is to make a nice cup of tea: Update December 2012: We still use this unit all the time and it has held up quite well."
"I got one of these for both my wife and my daughter, they make GREAT Christmas presents :)."
"Being new to using loose leaf teas I also had to look up the proper method of preparing different types of teas to get the best results. I use the same microwave safe cup to boil my water in making my tea as drinking my tea."
"This is such a nice way to brew tea, you can use just about any kind of loose leaf."
"When the water has emptied in to your cup, lift the teapot and gently shake it a time or two to let the last drop or two fall so it doesn't get your countertop or whatever wet."
"I've been using this teapot for over a week now and just learned that it is microwaveable, despite the metal filter at the bottom."
"For the 16 ounce version: My only negative comments are not so much an issue with the product, but how they interface with "normal cups". 16 ounces minus the volume of the leaves and you're left with more like 1.5 cups. For both the 16 and 32 ounce versions: Second, the bottom is clear, but it's still a little hard to see inside the cup you're pouring into, which makes it a little hard to know how much you've poured."
"You just fill in hot water and tea leaves, wait for them to brew, and set it over a mug when you’re done."

Loose tea by the cup.....simple. SET INCLUDES: contemporary insulated ceramic cup, integrated stainless steel infuser basket and matching lid.
Reviews
"We decided to start trying all types of teas and different tea brands and with that we had to purchase pots, infusers and cups. I decided to purchase two of the loose tea brewing cups, as well as the teapot and loose leaf infuser in this set. The are great and if you don't want to purchase the teapot and infuser you can purchase the cup and still brew great tea with it."
"I absolutely love my new tea cup."
"The cup and strainer have held up through several dishwasher cycles now, but I worry about the seemingly fragile lid, which is so small it could easily slip through or be missed and knocked to the floor."
"I can’t leave 5 stars as the packaging arrived very damaged (see pictures), however fortunately the cup wasn’t damaged and I was able to still gift it after some creative wrapping."
"The filter basket is very well made, fine stainless steal with pinholes verses a mesh that can tear or separate and not at all flimsy, the lid fits perfectly."
"Gorgeous and perfect for brewing loose leaf tea."
"I love my tea brewing mug!"
"I'm so happy I splurged and bought this for myself for Christmas because I use it everyday and it gives me joy."

"I wish the appliance was better quality, but I think it was the cheapest one I could find, so you get what you pay for, I suppose."
"The only thing I would change is they should have another light indicating that the power is on."
"Frozen college students now have something warm to sip on thanks to this product!"
"Great coffee maker."
"GREAT UNIT."
"just what I wanted , perks 30 cups in short time, also keeps it hot."
"While planning a large dinner for our extended family, I looked into renting various food service items that we'd need to feed our guests. The only negative I found is that the pot is not insulated, is made of thin metal, and the surface is extremely hot."
"Takes a very long time to perk - too long to wait for a big group."

Coffee Gator Pour Over Brewer – Hand Drip Paperless Filter and Glass Carafe – Plus Hacks eBook – 14floz, 400ml
Despite what the big boys might have you believe, you don’t need a coffee masters degree to make a barista-quality brew. It makes brewing unbeatable coffee as easy as falling off a slippery log. That means if you’re anything less than 100% pleased as punch, we’ll make sure things don't stay that way for long. Your taste buds will be on the receiving end of a flavour fiesta that will leave you grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato. This manual kit has a glass handle and uses ‘percolation’ to slowly pass water through ground coffee into the carafe below - simple. The laser-cut reusable stainless steel mesh filter extracts maximum flavor with minimal effort - simply rinse clean - easy. Not only do paper filters cost money and steal more delicious oils and flavors, they create waste and damage the environment.

Best Coffee Serving Sets

Large French Press Coffee Maker – Double Filter, Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel – With Mini Canister and eBook – By Coffee Gator - 34floz – Orange
Despite what the big boys might have you believe, you don’t need a coffee masters degree to make a barista-quality brew. It makes brewing unbeatable coffee as easy as falling off a slippery log. That means if you’re anything less than 100% pleased as punch, we’ll make sure things don't stay that way for long. Our large coffee kit fulfils two missions: a) makes your taste buds dance with flavor fuller than a centipede’s sock drawer AND b) keeps your brew piping hot for longer. Compared to glass, it keeps coffee (or tea) hot for at least 60 minutes longer. A cool touch handle protects your hands and the spring-loaded, double-layer filter brews a cleaner cup. So unlike glass or cheap, flimsy versions, it won’t break if you drop it (but your floor might need some attention). At this point, most discerning, good looking, coffee drinkers tend to sling it in their cart and prepare to enjoy as soon as tomorrow.
Reviews
"Bay Area culture seeps into your taste buds and elevates your palate to whole new levels, thus creating more douchery for which I now ironicly carry a badge. And I own an Aeropress (my badge now flashes neon lights in a hypnotic, swirling pattern - a beacon of absolute coffee douchitude). Also, I have no idea what the point of the little glass jar is - it looks like it could handle at most 4 T. of coffee and seems better suited to store your marijuana (that is, if you live in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, or any other state with legal weed)."
"I initially heat water and pour inside the press to warm it up while I measure out my coffee beans and grind them. While I was figuring out my measurements, I made more than 1 cup per brew and would leave the excess in the press while I drank to see if it would keep up to temperature once I was done."
"Sturdy and it does the job well."
"Got this with an electric tea kettle to replace my Keurig 2.0 and holy moly was that upgrade worth it!!"
"The product is of good quality."
"Makes a nice brew!"
"Absolutely top quality press here, I would not hesitate to recommend this item."
"Quality built, easy to use and makes a difference as far as the flavor and smoothness (vs using my own grind in a Keurig)."
