Is the Infuser made of Glass or Metal? And what shape is the Infuser?

Good morning, Mark. The infuser is cylinder shaped and made out of glass. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Wind & Weather Customer Service

I dont know what its made of. It seems like glass, and the red cap of plastic. But I WOULD NOT recommend this product! It looks really nice but does not work! I know it seems unlikely that something as simple as a pitcher would not work well, but I ended up having todinner return this product because your liquids go all over the place when you use it. It looks very pretty, but it is small and heavy and doesnt work.

The glass is glass. Don't know what the metal is however I returned it - not because of anything other than it is very very small. The measurements they list are misleading. Great looking item but expect it to be smaller than you may think it is.

I don't think so but I can't be sure. I did not keep the this teapot and I also don't remember why. I found a fabulous tea pot at IKEA for $12.99 that has a metal infuser. It works great!

Yes, it is plastic. I wrote to Krups, and they said that all their products are BPA free. (There is also a little bit of plastic inside the kettle.) I'm very happy with the product. I should also mention that I don't use the infuser. I just use the kettle to heat water.

I believe it is plastic (I bought a glass replacement when I bought the unit). Make sure you get the version with the real handle. I got the one with a loop that swings up and it's a problem because the whole thing gets really hot and it takes two gloved hands to pour from the hot thing into your cup (one to hold the weight from the top, other to tip it).

Metal. You have to put the glass in the lanterrn. It is all wrapped so that it doesn't break when shipping.

There is no infuser. The opening in the porcelain pot is about 2" maybe 2.5" ( I didn't measure it.) My husband puts in loose leaf tea and strains it when he pours. We started using this in Aug 2013 and have had no problems over the last 8 mo. My husband uses it everyday, and on the weekend it's on all day.

Glass with metal frame and metal top handle. We love this product and highly recommend it. We use it almost every day.

The lid and infuser are separate, but the lid is designed to fit inside the infuser. Removing the infuser makes the lid loose fitting requiring a 2 hand pour

I ditched the glass infuser long ago and use a stainless steel, classic 1 cup infuser from TEAVANA. No plugging of leaves and possibility of breaking. It's about 3 inches tall. I lucked out and bought a few on a clearance sale a couple of years ago. They don't have the same model anymore. The closest I can find on their site is the cool touch tea strainer. My older version is entirely made of stainless steel; no silicone top. Check it out in one of their stores and see if you think it will work for you.

There are 4 parts: Cup, infuser, lid with a hole to drink out of, and a cap on the top.

About 4 1/2" tall and just about as wide. I didn't realize it comes with its own infuser. I love it, perfect for tea for two.

The mesh of the infuser is very fine. It prevented debris of the loose tea from getting into the cup. There were still some very very fine particles that escaped that were like the texture/size of cinnamon but I do not think any infuser can prevent that.

Mine is made of glass, but the filter I use is copper. The remainder is made from plastic.

The infuser is made of glass, and it is not a good infuser if you are a frequent tea drinker (too slow to infuse, doesn't allow water to circulate into leaves well, and is hard to clean). However, if you purchase an appropriately sized metal tea infuser (see my review for details), this pot will work wonderfully to brew all teas (it retains heat VERY well!)

I believe it was glass but mine died on me very soon after buying it. I'd go in another direction. Not worth it IMO.
