It says it's #borosilicate glass, so it should not be very prone to cracking due to thermal expansion, but it also says it shouldn't be put on top of a heat source, which is a bit of a shame as I was hoping to be able to keep the tea warm on a tea light.

The knob on the filter is just that btw; a knob for the lid, not a plunger as you would find on a French press. Once your tea is the right strength, you kinda need to use it up right away, pour it over to another container, or take out the (now very hot) filter and empty it (before putting it back, or else you'll have another temperature vent).

All in all I would say it's not as ideal as a French press for my daily #teaBrewing, but I'll reserve final judgement till I've used it for longer than a single brew. ;)

It does look nicer :) and I have the feeling it'll be easier to clean this filter.
(The inside of the pot is another thing, as my hand doesn't fit very well inside...)

I could not find an affordable #FrenchPress to replace the one whose base cracked a few weeks ago. Well, at least not one that doesn't have plastic rather than stainless steel parts on the inside. So, I got this glass #teapot with built-in metal #tea filter instead, for 150 NOK (about 15 EUR / 18 USD currently) at #ClasOhlson.

A first-use review of this #teaBrewing kit in the unlisted reply. :)
