Bodum DUORO Tea Press

The teapot uses a plunger system similar to a French press. Once your tea has steeped to your desired strength, you press the plunger down, which pushes the tea leaves to the bottom and seals them off from the water, effectively stopping the brewing process to prevent over-extraction and bitterness.

Yes, the teapot features a fine-mesh stainless steel infuser designed to filter out most loose-leaf varieties. However, if you are using extremely fine dust or herbal powders, you may experience some sediment in your cup.

No, the oak handle should be hand-washed to preserve the wood's finish and prevent warping. The porcelain body and stainless steel infuser are dishwasher safe, but we recommend removing the handle before cleaning if possible, or simply hand-washing the entire unit to maintain its longevity.

Porcelain is excellent at retaining heat, keeping your tea warm for a significant period after brewing. While it doesn't have the same heat retention as a double-walled vacuum flask, it is much more effective than glass or thin ceramic teapots.

The pot has a 1.5-liter capacity, which translates to approximately 12 cups. This makes it an ideal size for serving multiple people or for those who enjoy drinking several cups of tea throughout the morning.

Absolutely. The porcelain design and the plunger system work well for flowering teas, allowing you to watch the tea bloom through the top opening before pressing the plunger down to serve.
