I am looking for one. I have 2 but for one i seem to have lost the lid and the others pouring is reaaaaally bad that it always floods the table.

Price at max would be 100€. No plastic anywhere.

Thanks a lot people!

There are glass, cast iron, and ceramic teapots that come to mind, and if you aren't looking for handmade or intricate, 100€ is likely more than enough. Are you looking for gong fu style or European style?

    I've never been disappointed by a glass teapot with a metal infuser.

    I also never use lids, so I wouldn't think there was a problem with your first teapot 😄

    When pouring, without the lid it sometimes goes over that and makes a mess

    I didnt know how to translate the word stövchen. Its a thing that you put below the teapot to keep it warm.

    I think i accidently threw away the lid from that so now i cant put it ontop of it anymore ;-; Big tragedy

    Might be too late by now, but I have a mono filio and it works well. It's one of two glass teapots(which I know of) that are 100% plastic free while also having a large infuser basket. The other one is the Bodum Chambord(specifically the glass-and-stainless-steel version), which might be even better because of how the basket is constructed(that is, it might let fewer little bits pass through), but I don't have any personal experience to confirm or deny that. As far as I know, either one would just fit into your budget.

    And yeah, I know that if you ignore the size of their filter/infuser baskets, there are plenty of other plastic-free glass teapots. But my recommendation would be to get one with a large infuser basket, and afaik that's only those two.

    I am a big fan of Zero Japan's teapots. Glazed ceramic, and i have put them in the dishwasher for years with no issues. I think they also go by the name Bee House. The infuser they come with is pretty good, but it turns our that the mouth is also the perfect size for a Finum medium basket strainer.

    Based on price, availability, and construction, I would recommend giving one a shot. Especially if you are asking for less than €100 and some of the pieces are in the $20 range.

    If you don't get any other answers, it beats a blank.
