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.
