Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Bodum's modern and beautiful tea set includes the YoYo strainer, a 12-ounce Pavina double-wall glass, and a lid. The set allows one to brew loose-leaf tea directly in the glass. The double-wall design ensures the glass will keep beverages hotter longer, yet stay a comfortable temperature for holding. Measuring 4.6 inches long (11.7 cm), the tea strainer also fits with all Bodum double-wall mugs as well. The durable strainer is made from stainless steel while the Pavina glass is made from mouth-blown, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. Smartly and efficiently designed, the set has a dual-purpose lid. If placed upside-down onto the strainer, it keeps the water warm while the tea is brewing. If flipped after the brewing, the lid can be used as a saucer for the tea infuser. The see-through glass allows tea lovers to visually enjoy the rich colors their favorite teas offer. A hole on top of the infuser allows for easy storage by hanging, and all parts are dishwasher safe.

Product Description

Say goodbye to tea bags and enjoy your perfect cup of tea in style with the stainless steel YOYO tea strainer and PAVINA double wall glass. The PAVINA glass is made from mouth-blown, heat-resistant borosilicate glass which allows tea lovers to visually enjoy the rich colors their favorite teas offer. Freely swirling tea leaves will release their full potential, like in a Bodum tea pot but on a smaller scale. With a length of 11.7 cm (4.6 inch), it fits into all Bodum mugs. The lid is dual purpose. If put upside-down onto the strainer it keeps the water warm while the tea is brewing, if flipped after the brewing it can be used as a saucer for the tea infuser. The hole on top of the tea infuser allows for easy storage by just hanging it up. All parts are dishwasher safe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great infuser, but far more delicate than it feels., July 18, 2010

This review is from: Bodum YoYo Personal Tea Set with Infuser and 12-Ounce Glass (Kitchen)

Let me first say that I really did enjoy this product. The infuser is far easier to clean than the previous stainless steel infuser I had in the past. The glass feels quite sturdy, but this is where the problem arises. I had the set for a day before breaking it.

I was one of those people who read the reviews and said "There's no way I'll be clumsy enough to break this." Sure enough all it took was the handle of another mug tapping it slightly in the sink and the outer shell of the glass broke off.

Overall a very beautiful product, and I'll be using the infuser in other mugs for quite some time, but be very careful when washing the glass. Definitely not as strong as you'd expect for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Functional simplicity, September 24, 2008

Bodum's 12-ounce double wall glass is just what you need to keep your tea, or any hot beverage, HOT, without burning your fingers. The borosilicate glass is ultra smooth, seamless, and a pleasure to drink from. The stainless steel tea infuser is a snap to clean - just rinse under running water and wipe dry. The lid doubles as a handy drip catcher. The handblown construction is simple, elegant and visually stimulating, making your tea time a delight for all the senses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Tea Set (Glass + Infuser), July 28, 2010

This review is from: Bodum YoYo Personal Tea Set with Infuser and 12-Ounce Glass (Kitchen)

From what I can make out, this Bodum YoYo Double Wall Glass Personal Tea Set seems to be a combination of one of the 12-ounce glasses from the Bodum Pavina 12-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2 and the Bodum New YoYo Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid. If so, then that provides the option to buy replacements (or extra glasses) if needed. Also, it might be worthwhile to keep an eye on the prices of the individual items to see if it might be cheaper to make your own set. Anyway, this is a nice tea "set." Everything is well-made and is easily used and cleaned. I do have some quibbles with the set, though:

- From other reviews and from the official write-up, the glass is some kind of "lightweight, thermal, borosilicate glass; 2-layer construction resists heat and prevents condensation." But, to me, it feels a bit like plastic. It looks and acts very nice, though.
- The glass might be too big and rounded for people with smaller hands. I like it just fine. But, my wife says it's a bit hard to hold.
- The infuser's holes are big enough to let fine tea particles through. It's not that much of a problem though, since the glass' shape is such that the loose particles drop down into the rounded bottom and stay out of the way until you get to the very last drop.

So, minor as those are, I'll have to drop my rating for this set to "just" a Very Good 4 stars out of 5. Still recommended, though.

EDIT (01/17/11): Just a note that the glass only lasted 6 months. My wife slid it across the counter into the wall and broke it. I was going to replace it with another set (as linked to, above). But, after reading the reviews for just those glasses, I found that that there are a lot of complaints of fragility there. So, instead, I'm just using the standard mugs we have around the house that are just about the same size. I really liked that glass. But, it's just too fragile (and too expensive to replace). The infuser is still very good, though. So, unless you just have to have the glass, I'd recommend buying just the infuser (see my link, above).
