 Bodum Assam 2-Cup Tea Press
ASIN: B00005LM0Y
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: My evening companion
Comments: I'd been looking for a small teapot for months when I ran across this tea press. I love having herbal tea on cold evenings, but one cup is not enough and a standard teapot is way too much. This pot is just right. Since it's a tea press, you can steep the tea exactly the way you like it, without having to fish out a tea bag or mess with a tea ball. I have an electric mug warmer on my desk, and the pot fits beautifully. With the tea leaves out of circulation, I don't have to worry about a stewed tea taste, but my tea is properly warm all evening.
I do have two minor quibbles. The first is that the plunger will sink to the bottom of the pot all by itself. I have to tilt it slightly while the tea steeps. The second problem is that the lid fits only when the tea strainer is in the pot, so you are stuck with leaving the strainer in place. I still love my little pot, but it's a four star experience. Fix the lid, and it's five star all the way!

 Chef's Choice 695 Electric French Press, Black
ASIN: B00005CDPY
Customer's Rating: 2
Summary: Loved it until it broke
Comments: My wife and I used this press 1-2 times per day for about 9 months and loved it -- and then the base began to leak.
An incredible convenience (boiling in the same pot as pressing), but we are back to our standard glass press until a new version of the product is released.
Especially disappointing at the price.
