Order came today - chatsworth worth it?

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.

That was actually my next question. Usually I only brew about two cups at a time.. how far are the bottoms of the infuser baskets from the bottom of the pot? Thx!

On my 6 cup it is approximately 1/2 inch from the bottom.

perfect, thanks!

Hi,

When you get your 4 cup pot, would you post what the true capacity is in ounces? I know it's supposed to be 24 oz (with the infuser in place would be fine.) I bought a 4 cup Brown Betty that was sold as a 24 oz pot. It's really a 1 liter...it holds just over 30 oz. I was interested in a true

24oz that I could also use for 12-16 oz pots as well. I've also found that the BB with or without a tea cosy seems to overheat my morning Earl Grey and kills the bergamot. So I'm in the market for yet another teapot!

Thanks!

I have the 4-cup bone china Chatsford from Upton and it's a true 24 oz pot.

YES! I got the 4-cup, 24 oz, bone china. It was the best purchase I ever made so I ordered a 2-cup Arthur Wood Chatsford which turned out to be 16 oz instead of 12 oz and ordered a extra baskets for both pots for when I want something else in between green tea infusions.

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.

sure thing. I ordered today and it should arrive middle of next week.
