Bredemeijer Jang cast iron teapot 0.8 litre at EUR 24.95: EUR 6.62 less than the 0.5 litre, 25 cents a cup more than the 1.1

Making a pot of tea for mooncakes around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first question is usually not which brand but what size. Bredemeijer's Jang cast iron teapot comes in three sizes on bol.com: 0.5 litre at EUR 31.57, 0.8 litre at EUR 24.95 and 1.1 litre at EUR 29.95, all sold by bol and in stock, sharing a rating of 4.3 from 148 reviews across the range. Bredemeijer is a Dutch teaware brand best known for its double-walled teapots; Jang is its cast iron line modelled on a Japanese iron kettle, with an enamelled interior and a stainless steel filter.

The price order itself runs backwards: the smallest, 0.5 litre, is the most expensive, EUR 6.62 more than the 0.8 litre. Divide by the number of cups each listing names and it gets clearer: 0.5 litre for 3 cups is EUR 10.52 a cup, 0.8 litre for 4 cups is EUR 6.24, 1.1 litre for 5 cups is EUR 5.99. Per cup the big pot is cheapest and the 0.8 litre costs only 25 cents more. Count how many people usually drink together, then read those three numbers.

The second sum is weight. The empty 0.8 litre pot weighs 1,736 g, close to two and a half kilos once 0.8 litre of water is in it, and it is iron all the way through, handle included. If an older relative or a child pours one-handed, that number matters more than the cup count. Note too that the specification table on the same page lists 2 cups against the 4 in the description; cup size makes that much difference, so convert with your own cups.

• Care: the pot is not dishwasher safe, only the stainless filter is; wipe the enamelled inside with a soft cloth, and the listing says tea staining that slowly turns it dark brown does not affect health. (source 1)
• Rust: cast iron can rust around the lid and spout; the maker suggests wiping the outside and rim with a lightly oiled cloth, never oiling the inside, and storing it with the lid off. (source 1)
• Before buying: at EUR 24.95 the 0.8 litre sits 5 cents under bol's EUR 25 free-shipping threshold, so if the checkout adds shipping any small extra item removes it; the 0.5 and 1.1 litre pages state shipping is included. (source 2, source 3)

Hokimi field note: before putting an iron pot away, take the lid off and set it beside the pot so the rim dries in the air; it is the easiest rust step in the care text and far easier than removing rust later.
