HKM-7333843 Borosilicate Glass Brew Pot with Press for Coffee and Tea, Stovetop Safe, 30.5oz Capacity

HKM-7333843 · Electric Kettles · 900 ml, Borosilicate Glass, Black

Glass Pot, Press Lid, Steel Collar

HKM-7333843 is a 900 ml borosilicate glass brew pot with a black lid that carries a red button on top: press it and the infusion held in the strainer basket above drains into the pot below, press it again and the valve closes. A brushed 304 stainless collar rings the neck, the filter inside is stainless steel, and a moulded black handle loops from the collar to the waist of the body.

It suits a table where the tea is brewed in the vessel it is served from, and a kitchen where the point of the vessel is that the leaf can be seen — the glass shows colour, leaf and clarity without a window or a gauge, and the press lets the steep be stopped at the moment it tastes right rather than at the moment the pot is carried across the room. The 900 ml fill pours four cups of about 225 ml, or two mugs with a little left for a second round.

Materials and Construction

The body is borosilicate glass, blown into a form that swells at the shoulder and pulls in again at the foot, with a base thick enough to sit flat on a counter without a mat. The wall is clear throughout, so the seam of the mould and the level of the liquid are both visible; the brand mark is hot-stamped in gold on the front, a fired decoration rather than a printed label, and it sits below the waterline where a cloth reaches it.

The neck carries a brushed stainless band, 304 grade as the listing states, and this is the part that takes the load: the handle is anchored to it on one side and the pouring lip is cut just above it on the other. The lip is a shallow beak rather than a full spout, wide enough to pour a steady stream and short enough that a drip runs back into the pot instead of down the outside.

• The lid is black PC with a red button set into a raised boss, and a lever at the rear that lifts the whole disc clear of the collar.
• The strainer basket is pressed from 304 stainless mesh and sheet, held in a PC frame; a silicone ring seats it against the lid so the chamber seals when the valve is shut.
• The handle is a moulded loop with a flat outer face and a thumb rest at the top, fixed at the collar and at the waist so a full pot is carried from two points rather than one.

How It Works

Leaf or grounds go into the stainless basket, the basket seats into the lid, and water is poured through the open collar. The brew stays in the upper chamber while the valve is closed, sitting above the glass body rather than in it, so the strength is set by time and not by volume. Pressing the red button opens the valve and the liquid runs down through the basket into the pot; the leaf stays behind in the basket, out of the liquid, and the infusion stops where it was.

The lid also turns between two marked positions, open and close, printed on the rim beside the lever. In the open position the chamber vents as it fills; in the closed position the pot can be tilted to pour without the contents slopping back through the strainer. The two actions are separate — one is a press, one is a turn — and the photography shows both, with the red arrow on the button and the pair of arrows around the rim.

The filter comes apart in three steps for cleaning: the screw ring at the base of the basket turns off, the connecting stick is pressed lightly and drawn out from the side, and the basket then lifts free of the frame. The parts are the PC lid, the PC strainer, the 304 stainless filter, the silicone ring, the PC connecting stick and the PC screw ring — six pieces, all of them reachable without a tool.

Placement and Use

The pot belongs on a table or a tray where it can be seen, since the whole point of the glass is the view through it. Leave the handle side facing the person who pours, keep the lip clear of the wall, and set it on a surface that can take a hot base — the glass holds heat and passes it straight through to whatever it stands on.

The listing describes the pot as stovetop safe, and the glass is rated across a wide band, from −30 °C to +130 °C in the supplier's own graphics. The lid, the basket frame and the handle are PC, so the glass body is the part that carries the heat claim; the lid and strainer are best fitted after the pot leaves the heat, which is also when the leaf goes in.

• Warm the glass with a little hot water before a full pour, the way a teapot is warmed, so the wall is not asked to take the whole difference at once.
• Fill to the collar, not above it; the strainer basket needs the space above the neck to seat.
• Set the pot down on wood, cloth or a trivet rather than on a cold stone worktop.

Included and Optional

Colours and Finishes

One finish is sold: clear glass with a black lid and handle and a brushed stainless collar. The variant is listed simply as default, and the gallery photographs the same clear body from seven angles, so there is no second colourway to compare against and no dye or coating on the glass.

The only colour in the object apart from the black furniture is the red button, which is the one part meant to be found by eye. The gold brand mark is fired onto the glass and is not a label that lifts at the edge; the stainless collar is brushed, not polished, and takes a fingerprint the way brushed steel does.

Care and Maintenance

The listing states that the pot is dishwasher safe and freezer safe, and the borosilicate wall is what makes both claims plausible. For daily use, a warm rinse and a soft sponge clear the glass; a brush reaches the inside of the basket, where the leaf packs against the mesh. Abrasives and scouring pads dull the glass and wear the gold mark, so neither belongs in the pot.

The filter is worth taking apart once a week: unscrew the ring, draw the stick, lift the basket, and rinse each of the six parts under the tap. The silicone ring should be checked for tannin staining and reseated flat, since a ring that sits proud will weep at the seam when the valve is closed. Tea stains on the glass lift with a soak in warm water and a little bicarbonate; the stainless basket lifts the same way.
