☕ Brew Better with BonJour Coffee & Tea Smart Brewer - 19.5 Oz, Clear Review

I really wanted to like this smart brewer. I've had similar products from other companies before. Nice shape and holds a moderate amount of water for making tea or coffee. The chevron design above is fine, but not essential in my opinion. When I first used it the little filter basket came loose and started floating all over the place. What I really liked is the button you press on the bottom to release the brewed liquid. A great idea in theory, as you don't need a small tray to set up the…

Cracks even from boiling water. only 1 month. Probably used about 20 times. The perfect size as it is 19.5 oz instead of the usual 16 oz. But super cheap. The quality is worse than everyone else (I have 14 different ones, yes. I know. But I like this size). Should cost maybe $5-10 for the quality. I also like that it's easy to clean. But there is always a problem with getting rid of the remaining liquid from the lower chamber, which is located under the grille. You have to shake it to remove…

When I got my first Adagio tea 16oz, I got into loose tea microbreweries. ingenuiTEA. So comfortable! BonJour Smart Brewer continues the same tradition with a twist. Instead of automatic dispensing when placed on a mug or teacup, there is a small button that needs to be pressed to dispense the liquid from the brewer through the filter and into the cup. This is great if you want to make loose tea for one or two people. Smart Brewer is easy to wash, clean and air dry for next use. Haven't tried…

I've been using this tea strainer for a few weeks now and I find it a great and practical kitchen tool. It has enough water to fill a full cup of tea and the mesh of the strainer is fine enough to keep even small tea leaves out of my cup. However, I don't like using it for rooibos tea as it catches the smallest particles and takes forever to clean. I also used the Adagio tea infuser. I like that this one works a little better as you can use it on a mug that doesn't fit snugly and won't release…

OK I can't tell you about these tea/coffee makers - I've taken them to Chinana and Adagio and other places - I keep them at work and at home (so they were everywhere and needed replacements in case someone falls or something). I keep getting questions about it and I'm very happy about it. If you like loose tea this is perfect, and Bonjour is a really good, smart coffee maker, so much so that I'm keen to try cold brew coffee. I love the fine mesh on the bottom and the fact that it's BPA-free and

This isn't the first time I've used one of these kettles to brew tea, so in the preface to my review I have experience with them. I had one from Teavana and one from David's Tea. This one from BonJour is just as great but a lot smaller than the ones I've used before. This steeper drink makes about 16-18 ounces of drink and works great. You place your loose tea leaves, coffee, or tea bags in the inside of the teapot bowl, followed by hot water. Make sure you heat the water according to the type…
