Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf Tea | Heat Proof Handles for Safe Grip, Fits Teapots Mugs & Cups, Rust Resistant, Easy to Clean, Versatile Tea Strainer & Diffuser

Five stars for quality (, and as described in all areas. But, something is important that isn't clear until you try to wash it. I was taking it apart to run through the dishwasher before the first use. And it looked sharp so I had to be really careful putting the silicone back on the metal disc. (I will hand wash after all because kids are in the house)I asked alexa ai here at amazon about it - just in case I was mistaken. I didn't want to test it... lol no time to get cut and deal with all that... so, this is what Alexa AI for shopping said:"The metal disc inside the silicone lid appears to be a standard component with edges that can be sharp. Some customers have mentioned that when disassembling the lid, they found metal parts inside.One review specifically mentions an injury: a customer reported cutting themselves on the inside metal when first pressing the lid into the base.•Keep it away from young children who might take it apart or touch that internal metal component•For elderly users: The lid itself (with its silicone rim) is designed to be easy to lift and use — multiple customers with arthritis praise how simple it is. However, if they're taking it apart to wash, they should be aware of the sharp metal interior and handle it with care."I'll keep it and I will be using it every day but, will hand wash and put away out of reach of children in-between so it isn't a safety hazard.That said, I gave this five stars because it is amazing! Great value for the money, closes snug to keep steam inside, is fine mesh design so minimizing leakage of tea fibers. I do a mix, that varies in each cup, so filtration also varies with ingredients. Keeping loosely packed, helps with filtration, and keeps water and steam movement maximized.

5 stars because this product is " almost there". This is exactly what i was looking for BUT there is ONE PROBLEM which ill mention in my review. This is a nice large infuser. Easy to take in and out of your cup, easy to clean, the water flow through the holes are better than expected and the rubber handles on the side are helpful to pull it in and out of your cup & avoid burning your fingers and the lid is a plus. Upon taking out of the box i realized this infuser was HUGE. Although i thought i ordered the small version..... i assumed it would be too large to fit in my little 12 oz coffee cup but it happend to be the perfect size to fit down in provided that i put enough water in my cup. I looked at tons of tea filters & infusers & so many of the reviews said that even after using the filter they still had loose tea leaves floating in their tea and no one wants to drink bits of loose leaf in their tea. I came across this one that seemed to have good reviews and decided to give it a go. Used this infuser with the "hey girl" cleanse for digestion & bloating loose leaf tea from amazon and at first I thought it filtered it throughly until i looked at the bottom of my cup and unfortunately I see a bunch of loose tea grounds floating at the bottom of my drink. It filtered everything out except small loose tea particles but large enough that i would know its in my mouth when drinking it. So that disappointed me. I thought the tiny holes would be small enough to keep anything from going through it but i guess i was wrong. I will likely be keeping it to try it with other loose leaf teas and see how it works but will probably be looking for a box of disposable tea filter bags with the string that are "bleach free". One thing i cant stand is things floating in my tea. Another reason I wanted to switch to loose tea instead of purchasing the bags is ive gotten a nasty mouthful of tea grounds in my mouth when taking a drink due to a tea bag bursting inside my coffee tumbler without my knowledge. I mean I had basically half the tea bags contents in my mouth! Yuck 🤮 Will be on the hunt to find a infuser and filter that work better. For context the debloat and digestion tea is used suggested to use 1 heaping Teaspoon. That was all I put in

This tea infuser is fantastic! I previously bought another type that is like a ball at the end of a stick but found that the holes were too big for the finely chopped herb teas I drink, like yerba mate and rooibos. The holes on this one are very tiny.I like the design, which can be used in a mug or a pot. The cover keeps the heat in as it brews and can be used after to hold the steeper when you remove it. It's simple and effective and I'm glad I bought it.

I’m absolutely loving this tea infuser strainer! I’ve purchased three so far because everyone in the house keeps using them. No more wasteful tea bags — just the perfect amount of loose leaf tea every time. It fits any mug, and it’s great for a second steep since there’s no soggy bag to deal with. The tea leaves swirl and float beautifully when you pour in the hot water, making every cup taste fresher and more flavorful! The quality whole size and filtration is amazing, and the value is even better!

This tea infuser/strainer is perfect. It fits into a standard mug but is big enough to give the tea room to really expand/blossom and release all the great flavors.The silicone lid is perfect for helping maintain temperature for ideal steeping conditions. The mesh is solid thick metal, rather than a screen and doesn’t bend of damage during use, but the holes are fine enough that tea stays contained in the strainer without leaking.The silicone handles support the strainer while remaining cool to touch to. O. Ruby finders, and the lid offers a perfect drip tray to set the strainer on while you enjoy your tea, leaving the strainer ready for a second steep with no mess. It is easy to use and designed by some one who knows the importance of a perfect cup of tea.

A good product and is off a good size to hold more than enough leaves, flowers, etc. In addition, the strainer has kept out a considerable about of leaf/flower material as the holes are pretty small. It has not rusted to date, but I wash it soon after I use it and put it to dry. The only thing is that the two rubber heat protector pads slid off the handles after a few washes as water got under them. I have since removed the rubber pads and use the strainer without them. Even though the tea is hot, I have not gotten burnt without using the pads.

Great to use for loose leaf tea! Fits perfectly in my mug and no residue left in the bottom! So easy to use and rinses clean. I had been using an infuser ball until it quit closing tightly. This product is so much better.

I purchased this infuser to help make herbal hair teas and spritzes, and it works perfectly for my needs.The mesh is fine enough to filter out all the herbs from the water, leaving a smooth, clean infusion without any bits floating around. Sometimes I simply fill it with my herbs, place it in hot water, and let it steep. It does the job beautifully with very little effort.I also appreciate how convenient and mess-free it is. Instead of having to strain the liquid afterward, everything stays contained in the infuser, making cleanup quick and easy. The stainless-steel construction feels sturdy and durable, and the lid helps keep the herbs submerged while steeping.Overall, this is an excellent product for anyone making herbal teas, hair rinses, spritzes, or other botanical infusions. It is simple, effective, and saves a lot of time.

Sehr praktisch und durchdacht. Einen winzigen Verbesserungsvorschlag hätte ich: Da der Boden flach ist, kann man es zum Trocknen nicht hinstellen, sondern muss es immer hinlegen.

Arrived the next day does what it says good item yo have thank you

Best tea strainer I've ever owned. The wide mouth is great for cups and mugs and because it has a lid and fills so much of the space at the top of the cup the heat doesn't escape. It's also very light weight and cleans really easily.

Amazing for herbal tea, easy to use and easy to clean. Fits regular and larger mugs, could even be used with a small teapot! The capacity for loose tea/herbs is big so it would brew a large amount of water no problem. The lid is also very convenient and helps the tea steep faster

Exactly as described. Does the job well
