What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Hario Teaor Server for its exceptional value. The core sentiment centers on acquiring premium functional quality at a significant discount. Reviewers confirm that despite the 'Scratch & Dent' status, essential features like heat retention and the filtering system perform flawlessly. The minor cosmetic imperfections are consistently deemed acceptable when weighed against the substantial savings realized. This offering is highly recommended for budget-conscious tea lovers who prioritize brewing performance over pristine aesthetics. The functional integrity far surpasses the aesthetic compromise, leading to high satisfaction and a feeling of making a smart purchase.
Know before you buy
These items are fully functional but feature minor cosmetic imperfections, such as small surface scratches or slight blemishes on the glass or wood components. They offer the same brewing performance as a brand-new unit at a reduced aesthetic grade.
The stainless steel infuser features a mechanism that allows you to pull the basket upward and lock it into the lid once your tea has reached the desired strength. This separates the leaves from the water, preventing the tea from becoming bitter due to over-steeping.
No, this server is not designed for direct heat. It is intended for use with hot water poured from a kettle, and it is not compatible with stovetops, induction burners, or microwaves.
Due to the natural olive wood accents and the precision of the glass and metal components, we recommend hand washing only. This will protect the wood finish and ensure the longevity of the glass.
The 450ml size is ideal for one to two standard cups of tea, making it perfect for personal use. The 700ml size is better suited for serving multiple people or for those who prefer larger mugs.
