Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
We don’t know about you, but we like our tea hot. Very hot. And for a very long time, too. The new neoprene coat for the Assam tea press does the trick – it keeps the tea hot for a much longer period of time without messing with its taste. Anyone who has tasted the bitterness of tea that’s been sitting on a heating element for a long time, knows that directly applied heat can’t be the way to go – it’s all about heat conservation. The new Bodum Nero tea coat comes in a variety of fun colours. The Bodum company got its start in Denmark in 1944, when Peter Bodum started a business wholesaling household products. Today, the Bodum brand, known for its innovative coffee press, as well as its tea makers, is still family-owned.

great, but expensive
28 Feb 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This jacket is shockingly good at retaining heat. On a few occasions, I've come back after a solid 6 hours to find my tea still warm (not hot, but solidly warm). Of course it keeps it piping hot for longer too-- but I haven't pulled out a timer or anything.
At the same time, I have no idea why this is so expensive. I feel like I could have cut up an old laptop sleeve and attached it to my pot with a safety pin for the same effect.

A perfect tea cozy; just a little pricey
5 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the perfect tea cozy for the Bodum tea press. It helps to counteract the rapid heat loss from the glass teapot (which otherwise makes perfect tea), even when the teapot is kept on a warmer. It fits perfectly and functions well. I bought this to replace a lime green one, which also worked great, but which got pretty stained over time. This red one seems not to show stains as much. Recommended.

Nice tea pot but needs to come with a cork mat, and jacket needs to fit better
19 Dec 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This teapot looks good, does what it claims in that the plunger encapsulates the leaves which prevents the tea from becoming too strong. The jacket (sold separately) is oaky-ish. It is ill-fitting, I had to stretch it to make it fit all the way around the pot. I was afraid I'd rip the seamed stitching but it just about made it. Because it is so super-stretched the edges of the cosy tend to turn out, not sit flat against the pot. The picture is deceptive, it shows a smooth cosy that wraps around seamlessy, but mine does not look like the photo. A small strip of velcro, about one inch vertically, is all that attaches both sides of the cosy, leaving the fabric, which falls short of each side by about an inch and half, above and below the velcro on either side of the handle to curl outward.
The pot itself is a nice shape, but the opening for pouring is a little wide, letting heat escape. It seems odd that Bodum went to the hassle of designing a jacket to keep the pot warm but left the spout wide letting the heat out! It also does not come with a cork base. I bought one because the base is so thin it looks like it could shatter easily. You'd think that Bodum would include one as they do with some of their coffee carafes. I am afraid that I might crack this glass pot by putting it down on the countertop too hard so I always use the cork base. I also leave the jacket on when I am rinsing out the pot, for fear of tapping the glass against the side of the sink or the faucet. If that happened then I am sure the pot would break. A few times I have hit the edge of the sink or metal faucet and the jacket has saved me. Bodum look great, and for the most part are functional, though very fragile. I have broken every single bodum vacuum glass I owned (four of them) and I am not a clumsy person. So, I have my doubts that this pot will last long, but it does look great and if the jacket fit a little better it might actually be more functional, also a smaller spout opening might keep the heat in longer.
