The Friday Five: Teapots

I’ve got a major work weekend ahead of me and when I’m working from home I normally have a pot of tea on the go. This weekend I can guarantee I’ll be drinking more than one pot of tea!

Halo teapot, $79.95, Crate & Barrel

teapot, $54, Ten Thousand Villages

Design House Stockholm teapot, $70, CSN

Normann Copenhagen teapot, $200, CSN

Le Creuset teapot, $24.95, CSN


Although I do love making chai tea, my most favourite tea comes from Hédiard in Paris. Loose leaf teas in cute little red tins – perfect!

Bialetti Coffee Maker

One of my most favourite kitchen objects is my Bialetti coffee maker. I actually have a few – different sizes to be used depending on how many cups of coffee I need to make. Mine are all silver but I think this white one should be my next purchase. Don’t you?

p.s. For those of you who have never tried making coffee with this little machine, it’s easy and it makes darn good espresso. You put water in the bottom compartment and espresso coffee grinds go on top of the water (in another compartment). When you put the machine on the stove, the bottom gets heated, the water boils, it mixes with the coffee, and gets filtered through the top. Voila – espresso is made in a matter of minutes!
