I just picked up a 6 cup standard one in brown from Upton's last week
and
it
is great!
The thing I like compared to my Beehouse pot is that even for a bigger
pot
the infuser basket goes down deep so if you only want half a pot the
water
still covers the tea.

What size Beehouse do you have? For my 22 (or whatever it is) oz pot, I
put
the basket away and use a mug-size Teeli basket instead. I know that the
Beehouse basket is short so that infusing stops when you pour the first
cup
allowing you to enjoy w/o fiddling with removing the basket until you've
got
everything back in the kitchen, but I don't care about that when I'm
making
tea for only myself.

I have the smaller 15-16 oz so it's not much of an issue unless I just want
one cup.
I do have a basket from one of my bigger pots that may fit the Beehouse.
I'll give it a try.
Thanks.

Mike
