I believe the last one I ordered had a plastic basket. I have a metal one, but only because I ordered it for another pot years ago when nubs on the plastic one broke off and it wouldn't stay put anymore. Although I prefer the metal one, the plastic ones I have had in the past have held up for years at a time before I had any issues. I will say - this IS the teapot to get. Brews great tea. Let it sit for 30 seconds after you push in the plunger and you can pour off really clean tea with hardly any sediment - that all settles and stays in the bottom of the pot due to the curve of the side. It's really great. I'm on my 4th one, I think - glass pot breakages due to external forces (that would be my family). I believe the last one I ordered had a plastic basket.

No problem with the switch. My only problem is making the tea the correct strength. It always seems too strong.

This one won't do that. I got another travel mug from theculturedcup.com that should work for you. It's a new product, so you'll need to email to ask for it. The mug is made by Planetary Design. It has an infuser tube with a solid bottom section that stops brewing when you depress the French press style plunger. If you want to reinfuse your tea all you have to do is remove the plunger and add more water. Bed Bath and Beyond also carries these. The cost is about $30.

With another set but they don't sale it separately. I ended up having two set now since my daughter broke the teapot cover, I tried to find ways to purchase just the cover but that didn't work, maybe try to contact the saler maybe they will give you 4 extra tea cups you never know

a) You may have to adjust the amount of tea in the top to make the tea to your liking. b) When you add water to the first line and pour it in the brewer, then add ice up to the first line, it won't overfill the pitcher when it's brewed.

It goes with thisitcher, it's just that it doesn't reach all,the way to the bottom. Therefor when your pitcher is only half full, the fruit may not be in the water. Not sure if that is by design or not. I found the tea infuser is longer and therefor I like it better.

There is a colander-like formation at the throat between the pot & the spout. Even so, as does P. Griset, I use anaftermarket strainer. I like to remove the tea leaves from the pot at the proper time. Later, I re-use them.

I had the same complaints with my teapot. I was surprised that a big name company would produce a teapot with problems like you indicated. I finally gave up and it went to Goodwill.

No. There is a basket to hold the tea leaves. It is shown to the right of the tea pot in the picture.

Tried loose tea leaves once. Used cold water and let it sit overnight. The tea was very weak and there was a lot of sediment in the pitcher. I will not try again.

I'm sorry that didn't work.I'd definitely go to their website to get the customer service number (I had it at hand until a few days ago when I no longer needed it) Maybe they're a company with good customer svc who will replace your parts and/or entre pitcher. I think I'd mention the many lid complaints in the reviews.Good luck!Nancy

I requested return of this item because the stopper did not fit and was of a harder plastic. Amazon issued a credit and told me to keep the pitcher. It has been donated to the salvation army. Interestingly I bought an identical one from Walmart last week for $5.00. The stopper is of soft rubber and although it is a snug fit I cannot shake it. You cannot pour with the stopper in.

it doesnt. You might be more lucky. Seller offered to replace it, but I bought it with one click for convenience.. not so I could repackage it and take it to a post office etc.. its not worth it.. what the seller isnt saying is that they are making beakers into measuring cups by modifying them with a torch and adding a handle.. its not made as a pitcher in a factory.

Sometimes if you call the company, some companies will send you the replacement part free. When i had 1 break so, i just bought another because it is not expensive. Plus, now there are tons of other travel tea cups (with the tea basket) out there that the basket is made of steel. so, you might invest in one of them because they last longer. And are around the same price.

This teapot does not have an infuser basket. This is for tea bags. Nice teapot, does not drip, pretty colour. Have had it a while now, and use it at least once a day. Great pot.

They are in individual tea bags. You'd have to figure out how many tea bags to make a pitcher.
