I got a Bodum Assam 6-Cup Tea Press from amazon.com - Bodum Assam 6-Cup Tea Press and just love it.... my PLAN was to steep it and drink a cup or two and put the rest in the fridge.... but I drink the whole thing every time!! (not that that is a bad thing) it does count as my water intake  Maybe I should have gotten the 10-12 cup 
The first time I did 2/3 peppermint 1/3 fennel and really liked it.
The second time I did 100% peppermint.... it was GREAT!!
The 3rd time I did the same as the 1st because I wanted the benefits of the fennel and really do like the taste of it... (almost time to order another bag Heather... in about a week or so) 
Anyway....just thought I would pass that info on to ya all.

Shell I'm so excited!!! I went to Target today and they had the tea presses there! Mine is a 4 cup and it came with a warmer...like the candel warmers. The pot fit on it great. I haven't used it yet, but plan on doing so in a few!!! How much peppermint do you think I should use?
Ok...better go now!!! THANKS!!

Oh that is great! Let me know how the warmer works for ya. As for the peppermint... if you look at the cylinder where the tea goes, I would fill it to just below where the little holes start.... that way when the peppermint gets wet and expands you will still be able to "press" all the way down. Now that is just how I do it...if I would have followed the directions that came with it, it would have been WAY too weak for my taste.
Happy Pressing!

Hi Shell!
Well so far so good! I still need to work on the strongness of it!! First time I made it it was too strong....second time not enough...so I'll try it like you say this time!
Do you ever have the leaves escape and get in the water? If so what do you do about it? Some of the leaves are small so they have gone through the holes. Let me know if this happens to you!!!
Thanks again!
Steph

I have that one (17 oz.) PLUS the one cup, Bodum Yo-Yo set. Love both. The Yo-Yo is a glass cup (about 10 oz.) and plastic mesh infuser with lid. It does not have a press. What I like about it is that NONE of the peppermint flakes come thru like they do with the bigger holes in the 2 cup, and larger presses. I got mine at Cost Plus World Markets but believe you could order one on line. Mines was about $9.95. Now, I would like to have a seperate warmer I could use with both!!! Think I'll have to put one of those little electric coffee cup warmers on my Christmas list and hope it works for both.
