It fits onto a base that powers it while boiling, then you lift it off to pour. Target has many varieties. Here's an example. I fell in love with this appliance while in New Zealand, and now don't know what I'd do without it. I have been mocked for my love. Mine automatically shuts off when it boils so it won't boil dry.

Try this for tea. They're not joking when they call it perfect.

I do wish it came totally apart for the occasional good cleaning, but that would just make it more perfect.

I don't even have to click on the link to know that Matterhorn Fan is talking about. Yes, it is perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect, how did I live without this perfect.

Add the electric kettle and it's a whole new world of tea.

Which reminds me that I need to send Ryan out for more. I'm out of all my favorites.

Prudence--they have something new on the website (I haven't been into the store in too long): http://store.teavana.com/easyteasteeper.html

It says the filter comes out for cleaning, but it's not very stylish, is it? And apparently it's only "easy," not "perfect." (eep! and it doesn't fit on their mugs. I wouldn't use their mugs, but still. That seems odd).

I have a Revere-ware kettle on my stove. It's the small size, so it heats pretty fast, and I like to hear a teakettle whistle.

Prudence · 06-23-2006, 11:58 PM

Weird. Well, it looks like a teacup and all, I guess. I don't think I'll be trading in my perfect tea maker.

I like the electric kettle because if the auto shut off. With actual tea kettles Ryan tends to put them on to boil and wander off. (sigh.)

Matterhorn Fan · 06-24-2006, 08:09 AM

I wander off, too. But when it's ready it screams at me to come back. The system works for me.

I have a Hot Shot, but I don't use it that much. I don't like giving up the counter space for it.

Well, you probably don't wander off and put on noise cancellation headphones turned up to the max.

That's cool, MF. This is what I saw before. Pretty sleek.

I REALLY want that! But sleek doesn't begin to describe it!

Matterhorn Fan · 06-25-2006, 10:38 AM

That's pretty cool. Is "press" just part of the name (because it's mimicing a French press?), or does it actually press the tea? Tea doesn't need to be pressed; it just needs to be taken out of the water. Hmmm.

Well, I'm not messing with perfection.

And Prudence--I don't have noise cancelling headphones, so no problems there.
