WMF Small Teaball with Mesh Strainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Based on the review about it getting stuck, I was sort of worried, but I wanted a solid tea infuser, and not one made in China (this one is made in Germany). I thought it got stuck for me once, but realized I was twisting the wrong way. Just be sure you twist the part without the chain counter-clockwise. It holds a good amount of tea, which is good because I like a little bit stronger tea than what is in standard bags. You will get some tea in the bottom of your cup, but it's very little, and I think hard to avoid with any infuser. It does take up a bit of space, so I end up filling my cup close to the brim while it steeps. As infusers go, it is relatively thick metal, so it will retain heat. After it's done I just wash it with cold water, and open it over the trash. Easy to clean, and ready to use again. There's a big one for kettles too, which I might get next.

Bodum 1923-16 Chambord 3-Cup Coffee Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even if you find an espresso machine alluring, in the meantime, you can't beat coffee made with this elegant and perfectly functional press pot. It's simply the easiest and best way to extract maximum flavor from your finest beans (use a uniform grind slightly coarser than automatic drip). Some people even prefer it to espresso. It's durable, easy to clean, and doesn't require electricity.
One reviewer claimed they put the grounds and the water in the pot, immediately pushed the plunger and waited 10 minutes. However, they will get much better results if they wait 2-4 minutes (depending upon the coarseness of the grind) before plunging the coffee, and then drink it right away. I wouldn't even let the coffee rest, plunged, in the pot for ten minutes, as it will become over-extracted.
As for the reviewer that whined about truth in advertising, all I can say is "Duh". They themselves pointed out that the pot does make three espresso cups' worth of brew. And if they watch what they are doing next time, instead of just trying to pour 12 oz. of hot water into something, they can avoid future unpleasant experiences. I actually make coffee for two "cappuccinos" with this model. If you don't like your coffee as strong, you can simply add a little hot water to your cup after you have poured your coffee (like an Americano).

When Bodum took over a small clarinet factory in Normandy in 1982, it was not because of the fine orchestra clarinets they were producing but because of a relatively unknown coffee maker called the Chambord which they produced as well. The reason the French press coffee maker has become one of the most popular coffeemakers in the world is pure and simple, taste. The materials (glass and stainless steel) are completely taste-free so nothing comes between your ground coffee beans. This is exactly the reason why coffee tasters use this method to determine the quality of coffee beans. No paper filter not only means no waste, but that the coffee bean's essential oils go directly to your cup, delivering the flavor that is lost on paper filters. Simplicity works best and is the reason why the Chambord's design has not changed a bit from its original drawing. Make taste, not waste! 0.6L, 17 oz capacity.

WMF Large Stainless Teaball with Screen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed with this teaball. It is not readily apparent from the picture but this product is actually shaped like a small cylinder, 3cm high with ~ a 6cm diameter. The cylinder twists apart in the middle to open. The problem is that first of all it is not tall enough to grasp firmly and has no 'handle' points, and second the actual locking mechanism is simply based on a push and twist design, but the metal parts do not fit together properly and are very hard to twist. Wrenching the teaball seems a good way to get tea all over the floor.
In fact, this first day I received the teaball I practiced opening it several times and eventually it became stuck, I was unable to open it until the next morning. Even if my particular product was somehow bent I cannot see how this mechanism could hold up to repeated use.
Hopefully Amazon will have another teaball soon.
