I had a black plastic 'le tea pot' for something like eight years, using it daily. A weak point in the plastic eventually led to its demise and I elected to replace it with the metal version. It has to be said, the plastic one was an excellent servant, if it did dribble a little when pouring. The metal version pours better,
This is a wonderful teapot. The internal strainer keeps your tea free of leaves - it has a very fine mesh and copes superbly with all forms of loose tea, from the finely shredded commercial varieties to the much larger leaves of specialist or Chinese teas. The strainer in this metal version is also better positioned than in my original plastic one and, with its folding handle, makes the loading of tea leaves much easier (and cleaning easier too).
The pot holds enough tea for two pint mugs - I do drink tea by the pint - so it is excellent for individuals or couples. The level of tea in the strainer means you need to add approximately one pint of water to ensure coverage of leaves, so adjust quantities to your taste.
The teapot has proved easy to clean, easy to use, and makes an excellent cuppa. Given the eight years usage I had with the plastic version, I expect this to be a long-lasting investment, easily maintained, and resilient (the glass bowl allows you to see the depth of water and the density of colour of the tea you're brewing - and in years of regular but careful usage, I never chipped or cracked the glass).
This is an excellent addition to the kitchen. Practical, of course, but a very stylish design, and an excellent balance, easy to pour, safe, and easy to use.

Treated myself to this for my birthday. Well worth the money. Very stylish as well as practical.
Fine holes in central part mean good all-round flavour.
A great buy.

Bought one of these a while back and havent stopped using it. Once you have tried loose tea again you never want to go back to tea bags. - Go on treat yourself! (By the way it looks good as well)

Holds enough for two LARGE mugfulls. Keeps the tea leaves totally separate and therefore, no dregs in mug. Pours well and keeps tea hot whilst brewing. You can see visually when it is strong enough for your taste.

Delighted with this teapot. Glad I went for the larger size as it holds enough for three good sized mugs. Pours perfectly too.

We have always drunk lots of real tea, brewed in a pretty pot with 'named' loose tea leaves, and from matching pretty cups and saucers. There are such things as standards, you know. :^)
One of my pet annoyances is tea running down the outside of a teapot from the spout after pouring a cup, leaving tea-stains wherever the pot is placed. Now no longer! This new one is drip-free!
I am delighted to be able to confirm that this 1.2litre (but only 1 litre to the top of the strainer) 'La Cafetiere Le Tea Pot' is the best tea pot we have used for several decades.
. It pours beautifully, with no drips or runs from the lip of the spout. Amazing.
. The handle is surprisingly easy to hold, even when the pot is full, and does not get too hot.
. The glass and stainless pot does not flavour the tea.
. It traps all the leaves in the cylindrical strainer (thousands of 0.5mm holes), even with fine dusty Darjeeling.
. The funnel system means all the hot water added passes through the leaves, and any leaves that might be splashed up fall back into the central strainer where they came from.
. It is very easy to take apart and clean, and can go in the dishwasher.
. The strainer has a convenient little folding handle.
. It feels secure in use, with no worry about the lid falling off or the bowl dropping out of the handle cradle
. It fits our tea-cosies.
I thought we might want to stir the tea (as usual) after the initial infusion, and this is possible, but only in the strainer. However, looking through the glass sides one can see that stirring is not often necessary, and either a couple of slow plunges of the tea strainer or a gentle swirl suffices - hmm, shaken not stirred....

Would highly reoommend.

broke the one we had for years
this was a replacement for the one we had as dropped a jar of honey on the old one.
use this every day now but keep the honey away from the teapot.

I bought this to replace our old Bodum teapot which used to clog up all the time. I got sick of having to pour a little bit of hot water at a time over the tea leaves in my bodum... Read more

Overpriced and wrongly described
I ordered this item La Cafetiere Le Tea Pot 1200ml £22.10, the box also states it's 1200ml. At the same time as the Kitchen Craft Le'Xpress Infuser Teapot, Glass, 900ml £16. Read more
