Default Piao teapots

Would someone please let me know of a good place online to buy a Piao
teapot? I don't mean the Ingenuitea from Adagio...I'm not finding Piao at
any of my usual bigger name online stores is why I ask. Anyone have one and
want to share their experiences? I am particularly curious how hard they are
to clean and whether they're dishwasher safe.

I would say that the internet is your friend in buying one of these. I
inherited one from some Korean friends that were moving and I like it.
It's like the reverse of a tea press. I have no problems using mine or
washing it... although I wash it by hand I see no reason you couldn;t
put it in a dishwasher.

We've had several over the years. We tend to be a bit clumsy and glass
doesn't bounce. I've had one at work, too. But they can be a bit messy
which is why I prefer the Ingenuitea at the office.

However, if you're making for more than one, the Ingenuitea doesn't work
well. The Piao does. It makes it easy to split the tea.

They're dishwasher safe. In fact, Cascade (powdered, not gel or "block") is
the only thing I've found that will actually clean the patina off - even
underneath the mesh.

They used to be screwed together, so you could actually take the mesh out
and clean it. The newer versions - at least the one's I've seen - are glued
in place.

Try the following:

Second last item on the page.

They call it a 'one-touch tea brewer'. It's a 12 ouncer.

Melinda:
I bought the smallest one. Very easy to use. Easy for multple
infusions. Mesh does not come out of the basket but still is easy to
clean. I hand wash. I see no need to put it in the dishwasher. Basket
(plastic) is tea stained but I am not bothered by that. A company will
put its name on the cover, but it is still the same Piao-i (glass) pot.
I am very pleased with it.
