I would get at least a 32-oz teapot; an ounce is actually rather a lot
of tea to brew at one time.

I would also ditch the infuser basket entirely, and pour through a
strainer when brewing is done. The basket is all-but-worthless, unless
you can somehow attach a handle to it and use *it* as a strainer.
(Actually, here at work I use the basket from my tetsubin as a
strainer, just taking care not to pour hot tea onto myself when using
it.)
