I find with the bodum tea infusers I have to steep for a longer time to get the full flavor out of the tea. I only drink black teas so no problems with temperature. Before I had this unit I was just putting loose tea in a pot and infused and then stained into a teapot. I love the look and ease of use. Yet how long should it take to steep 5 cups of black tea? I find if I don't do for at least 15 minutes too weak. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know it is working as the caffeine from the tea is keeping me awake. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Please, if anyone has suggestions let me know.

this cast iron tea press is not as heavy as expected. i love the look and i love the heat retention. just follow the instructions on the amount of water to put in the pot so it won't dribble when you pour. brews my white tea to perfection! remember to keep it dry when not in use. this cast iron tea press will last a life time -- waaay better than the glass bodum tea press.

Have been looking for a cast iron teapot that makes more than 2 cups of tea and keeps the tea hot - this does the trick. great product.

My daughter in Germany requested the Bodum Assam cast iron tea press for Christmas. It was the perfect gift and one she will have and use for many years.

Love that I can keep my tea warm over the low burner on my gas stove all morning long!
