Bodum Assam 34oz Glass Tea Press – Stainless-Steel Filter, Black Lid, Borosilicate Carafe

The Bodum 34oz Assam Glass Tea Press is a glass teapot with a stainless-steel mesh plunger that steeps loose leaf tea and stops infusion when pressed, delivering clean, bitterness-free tea.

Designed in collaboration with tea experts, this Assam Tea Press combines borosilicate glass clarity with a stainless-steel filter and a simple plunger system to make loose-leaf brewing effortless. Its 34-ounce capacity serves multiple cups, the clear body shows infusion color as leaves unfurl, and all removable parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

How does the Bodum Assam Tea Press control brew strength?

The plunger system separates leaves from liquid when pressed, instantly halting extraction so tea won’t become oversteeped or bitter. You steep to taste, then press down to trap leaves beneath the stainless-steel filter—no need to fish out the infuser.

• Stainless-steel fine-mesh filter keeps leaves contained.
• Patented plunger stops brewing at the moment you choose.
• Clear glass lets you monitor infusion color and timing.
• Suitable for delicate greens to robust black teas.

Is the glass and filter durable and easy to clean?

The carafe is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass and the filter, lid, and plunger are stainless steel and plastic, built to resist staining and thermal shock. After use you can disassemble the filter and place parts in the dishwasher for a quick and hygienic clean.

• Borosilicate glass resists sudden temperature changes.
• Removable stainless-steel parts rinse clean of tea oils.
• All parts are dishwasher safe for convenience.
• Jug (without rod and lid) is microwave-safe for reheating.

How much tea does the 34 oz capacity hold and who can it serve?

At 34 ounces (roughly 1 liter), this tea press makes multiple cups at once—ideal for a small gathering, shared afternoon tea, or an extended personal session. It’s large enough to brew 4–5 standard cups, keeping hot tea at hand without repeated steeping.

• 34 oz capacity suitable for 3–5 cups depending on pour size.
• Generous volume for entertaining or multi-cup brewing.
• Clear carafe helps gauge remaining tea at a glance.

What teas and brewing methods work best in this press?

The Bodum Assam Press works with a wide range of loose leaves—black, oolong, white, herbal, and whole-leaf green teas—because you control steep time and stop brewing instantly with the plunger. It also accommodates a coarse cold brew method by steeping leaves in cool water for several hours before pressing.

• Ideal for whole-leaf and broken-leaf teas.
• Works for hot steeping and cold-brew infusion.
• Fine mesh prevents most small particles from pouring out.
• Not intended for powdered teas like matcha.

Who is this for: The Bodum 34oz Assam Glass Tea Press is for tea lovers who prefer loose leaves over bags, hosts who want a stylish yet functional brew vessel, and anyone seeking a low-mess way to control infusion strength. It fits kitchens that value clear visual brewing, easy cleanup, and a durable glass design that complements casual and formal tabletops alike.
