I was in World Market yesterday and saw a couple of different gongfu
sizes around $8. Imagine tapping one of those the wrong way. The
main problem was the infuser with barely noticeable slits. I could
tell from the cleft lip spout pouring was designed to be gentle. I
bought a Cambric size tea cup with a pot that sits on the top like the
smaller Beehives. Same price made of porcelain with a metallic
infuser which might be a tad small for the size pot. I got six small
white expresso cups with matching saucers which come in a stacking
tower. A nice compact serving set. I would have bit on the Kyusu if
they were in original shipping boxes like the other two. Just more
boxes of teaware in the corner. Bodum never stops with another
infuser. They make one that looks like it would work with my tall
deep Yixing mugs. It came in a craddle that slips onto the side of
the mug. They make a battery powered milk frother. Ill just use a
whisk when I make Cambric tea.
