Bodum YoYo Personal Tea Set with Infuser and 12-Ounce Glass

Great infuser, but far more delicate than it feels.

Let me first say that I really did enjoy this product. The infuser is far easier to clean than the previous stainless steel infuser I had in the past. The glass feels quite sturdy, but this is where the problem arises. I had the set for a day before breaking it.

I was one of those people who read the reviews and said “There’s no way I’ll be clumsy enough to break this.” Sure enough all it took was the handle of another mug tapping it slightly in the sink and the outer shell of the glass broke off.

Overall a very beautiful product, and I’ll be using the infuser in other mugs for quite some time, but be very careful when washing the glass. Definitely not as strong as you’d expect for the price.

Very Good Tea Set (Glass + Infuser)

From what I can make out, this Bodum YoYo Double Wall Glass Personal Tea Set seems to be a combination of one of the 12-ounce glasses from the Bodum Pavina 12-Ounce Double-Wall Thermo Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2 and the Bodum New YoYo Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Lid. If so, then that provides the option to buy replacements (or extra glasses) if needed. Also, it might be worthwhile to keep an eye on the prices of the individual items to see if it might be cheaper to make your own set. Anyway, this is a nice tea “set.” Everything is well-made and is easily used and cleaned. I do have some quibbles with the set, though:

- From other reviews and from the official write-up, the glass is some kind of “lightweight, thermal, borosilicate glass; 2-layer construction resists heat and prevents condensation.” But, to me, it feels a…

Functional simplicity

Bodum’s 12-ounce double wall glass is just what you need to keep your tea, or any hot beverage, HOT, without burning your fingers. The borosilicate glass is ultra smooth, seamless, and a pleasure to drink from. The stainless steel tea infuser is a snap to clean – just rinse under running water and wipe dry. The lid doubles as a handy drip catcher. The handblown construction is simple, elegant and visually stimulating, making your tea time a delight for all the senses.
