Can I use teabags with a cafetiere teapot?

Question

I prefer the look of a cafetiere teapot to a usual pottery teapot - is it ok to use teabags with the cafetiere instead of loose tea? Will it still do more or less the same thing?

Cheers

Answer 1

Sure, that's fine. I'd recommend investing in some good loose leaf tea though!

Answer 2

yes use t bags

Answer 3

Yeah it'll be fine but a bit pointless! That's what the tea bag is there for, to do the same job as the cafetiere plunger.

Would be better with loose tea leaves in it.

Answer 4

It will work.  A bit belt and braces though.

If you're going to use a filter teapot, try leaf tea - it tastes much better.

Answer 5

Yes, you can - it's just that it defeats the purpose of the cafetiere ! ! !

Answer 6

YES! Yes!
