Product Features
The Bodum ASSAM Tea Press is a 1-litre capacity brewing vessel (measuring 14.8 x 19.1 x 24.5cm) that combines a heat-resistant borosilicate glass body with a sustainable bamboo handle and an elegant gooseneck spout. It utilizes a patented plunger system that allows you to stop the brewing process exactly when your tea reaches the desired strength, preventing bitterness without needing to remove the infuser. Designed for both loose-leaf tea and teabags, it features a durable stainless steel strainer and a silicone rim for precision pouring, making it a functional and visually striking centerpiece for any tea service.
Materials
Heat-resistant borosilicate glass body, high-grade stainless steel filter and lid, natural bamboo handle, and food-safe silicone and rubber components.
Installation & Maintenance
Place the teapot on a flat, heat-proof surface and add tea leaves to the stainless steel filter before pouring in hot water below the maximum fill line. The glass pot and filter are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, but the bamboo handle should be wiped with a damp cloth to preserve the natural wood grain. Before the first use, wash all parts in warm soapy water and ensure the unit is completely dry before storing to maintain the integrity of the metal and bamboo elements.
Safety Warnings
Scalding hazard: handle the teapot with care when filled with boiling water and ensure the lid is securely seated before pressing the plunger or pouring. Do not use on a stovetop, microwave, or direct flame, as the borosilicate glass and bamboo handle are not designed for direct heating. Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental breakage or burns from hot liquids. Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or chips and discontinue use immediately if any damage is found to avoid injury during the brewing process.
