Expensive 'Bora Bora' (thermal) Bodum Tea Press - £80 to £36.70

TimeToSetUpHome

Yes! I'm prepared to get hit with thousands of posts of 'who's going to spend that much on a tea pot?' but I have been using the bog standard NOT bora bora tea presses from Bodum for ages and they really are a treat (I think mine's called the Marcel and it was only a shade under this price).

Bodum do however, do a very posh one with 2 layers of glass... so there's a vacuum between the outside world and your tea (if you ignore big hole in the spout as a place for warmth to leak out of) which means that it acts rather like an old vacuum flask (which of course were made from glass back in the days before stainless steel).

The site says that they are normally £80, as I'm not one to believe seller's hype I checked this out - elsewhere on the net you'd be looking to pay between £59.99 and £78.30 plus postage for one of these.

Check it out if you want a rather special little teapot, perfect for those luxury teas after a hard day's work:

(don't forget to choose super saver free delivery)

Needless to say - I've treated myself & wanted to share with anyone else who has been eyeing these up since it won all kinds of style award prizes :T

... Update... definitely don't buy it from Bodum direct at £115 *yelp*

try this link, it was available through another seller, watch out for the delivery timescales though, it says the seller hasn't any feedback and will despatch within 1-2 MONTHS!!!

Bikerjodie thanks for the link, it's being sold by Amazon so should be ok, right?

They were in stock earlier and it already says my order is being prepared for dispatch... I've paid through amazon's own system though so fingers crossed all will be well.

BBFord, will report back when received if you want to wait and see.

What do you mean by 'the seller hasn't got any feedback'? It's amazon themselves!

bikerjodie

It can say amazon but can be an independant seller that amazon have allowed to use their site... you'll be protected through amazons buying policy with who ever you buy with on amazon.

Yes, i'd happily buy it and wait for it to arrive... you'd get your money back if it failed to appear.
