Q: Does it come apart to clean? The Teavana one after a year plus of use became clogged with tea leaves and particles and had to be pitched.

YES, I have had several and mine have all come apart. Sometimes too easily as if your not careful you may knock the filter out into the garbage can with the spent tea leaves! To disassemble~ reach inside the pot and grab the inner stubby post … you wiggle the inner stubby post, it will pop out. If you have never tried then it can be stubborn at first but when clean it comes out easily. Next you can pull up and remove the silicon gasket knob which then will release the bottom plunger that removes from the underside of the unit. Lastly you can remove the silicon plunger keeper gasket from the pot if you like but I find it unnecessary and quite frankly very difficult to put this last item back in its place as it is a tight fit for my fingers... My personal observation is that I wouldn’t suggest cleaning too often as the parts will wear unnecessarily and some tea buildup is a good way to season your teapot but thats up to you, a replacement unit is only $20

Q: is the plastic safe for boiling water ?

I don't know for sure. Found this article http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certichem-eastman-bpa-free-plastic-safe?page=2

Q: Could this or the 32 oz. version be used to make iced tea?

I first learned about this while traveling in Sedona. Trailhead Tea uses this infuser to make custom cups of iced tea. The perfect recipe that Eileen taught me was this: 2 & 1/2 t of your favorite loose leaf tea with about 1/2 filled with water. Fill cup up with ice and once tea is steeped (approximately 4 minutes), you simply pour/strain over cup of ice. I have since bought the larger container and make 67 oz pitcher of iced tea the same way. I fill with boiling water over 4 & 1/2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea and let steep for about 5-6 minutes. Then I strain/pour over 67 oz pitcher filled with ice. Turns out perfect every single time.

Q: does the lid pop on and off for easy cleaning?

Yes it does and so does the filter, it is very easy to clean and a tough one. I own a coffee shop and use this daily for all my tea infusions, works like a charm!
