Another cheap teapress
The 1L Sierra Tea Press I see elsewhere in town for $25 is on the Ross
knick-knack closeout shelf for $8. I say 1L because it says 8cups.
The people in NJ still don't know about metrics. It also says Coffee
on the box which says how much they know about Tea. At least it might
mean made elsewhere besides Asia. It has a metal sleeve and cap which
makes it more elegant than the plastic ones from Bodum. It has hooked
metal feet which allows see through the bottom of the pot. A nice
touch which the Bodum lacked. The plunger does bind up in the glass
cylinder enough to make it irritating which I guess is the reason for
the discount. That is my gain because I saw off the plunger and cap
it with a wall anchor bonnet to keep the shortened filter near the
spout from falling back into the pot. I bought six. No waiting for
the gongfu master to pour me another shot. You each get a liter of
your choice.

PS I've been reading about set meal prices in China where eight
customers sit around a table at a given price and eat potpourri from
the kitchen. An American version of buffet at the table instead. I'm
going to suggest to my local tea shoppe they do something like this
for tea in their new bigger cafe.
