)Kyusu Size
What is the most reasonable size kyusu for brewing for one person? Or maybe I should just ask, what size kyusu do you use? I'm looking for a nice kyusu under $50 to use for general brewing of all types (basically everything except matcha of course )
)
I saw on artisticnippon those 160 cc kyusu for 36 $ http://artisticnippon.com/product/tokon ... kanna.html, that brews one 100 cc to 120 cc tea, generally sencha is enjoyed from 70 ml to 100ml / cup, sometimes with super high quality I use houhin set but rarely.

This is a pretty subjective question. There is not a right size, period. I have several sizes for sencha from 150-400 ml. Just depends.
I can brew less in a bigger pot, BUT I cannot brew more in a smaller one.
Gyokuro is a different matter ... I prefer a small pot especially made for the ultimate enjoyment of gyokuro.

This is a great one. I remember quite a few other people got it too.

I got it a few weeks ago. I used it for dan cong for a few times and found its drainage is wonderful (because of the 360 degree screen), better than all my yixing (which are all inexpensive though). The only drawback of using it for oolong or anything that requires a full pot of water is, the shape of the pot is not designed for full pot and there will be some leaves sticking to the lid every time lid is lifted. But I use it for oolong anyway. It's so well aligned, everything fits in position so well and very easy to hold
