House Again Tea Infuser (2 Pack with Scoop), Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infusers for Loose Tea, 18/8 Stainless Steel Tea Strainer with Extended Chain Hook, Tea Steeper for Brew Tea, Spices & Seasonings

Tried numerous tea infusers over the years an so far this stands out as the best. Easy to add the tea. Easy to clean. All grades of tea can be brewed whether fine or coarse. The infuser is more suitable for a mug/large cup of tea an can be used in a tea pot. Also There is adequate room to add plenty of tea for a teapot.

I do like these tea infusers. They serve my purpose perfectly. I don’t experience the negative things other reviewers mentioned. The Hook works fine over a regular mug. The chain is plenty long even for the travel mug. Yes, the infuser might tip on its side or flip upside down, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s closed, it sinks, so it infuses no matter which direction it lies. And the holes are so tiny. You can barely tell that they’re even holes. But yet it works fine to submerge the infuser, and my tea steeps just as fast or faster than a teabag! Glad i purchased.

As a loose leaf tea lover, I've been using an over-the-cup strainer for years but it was a mess to clean up. After careful review of dozens of options, I purchased this set of 2 infusers. I am really HAPPY with this purchase. I got 2 sets for the price, and they do a fantastic job of keeping loose tea from clogging up the teapot and my sink. The sides have hundreds of holes so take care that you don't squeeze the sides too hard, but they are very easy to handle and clean. They are suitable for my large teapot and also my small "tea for one" set. They will float in the teapot but they have a short chain with a hook on the end, so I wrap the chain around the teapot handle and hook it to keep the infuser submerged. The top screws on and off very easily. It also comes with 2 holders onto which you place the infuser. The ONLY trouble I have with this set? The hook gets caught on my dish drain after washing it up, but I exercise my patience and carefully unhook it. No problem! I would HIGHLY recommend this set, especially for the great price, and in fact, I will purchase this for my loose leaf tea drinking friends and relatives as a holiday gift. Buy this product!

I was looking for a regular tea ball, but this was good price especially since it included two infusers and a spoon. I thought I would give it a try, and was pleasantly surprised. This design is superior to the round balls. When you open the round ones, it is cumbersome to close without spilling, and even harder to not make a mess when you open and empty after you use it. I love the screw cap at the top - very easy to fill, use, and empty! I like that it has a flat bottom so it doesn't roll around the counter. The little plate that comes with each one also keeps the counter/stove top dry when you set it down. The material feels a bit thin and likely to tear or get dented, but it has held up for several month of use so far. Drawbacks: the little hook at the end was a bit difficult to get to stay put on a cup or pot rim when they have liquids and the infuser is bobbing around... I made a longer one myself with a bent paperclip and stuck it on the end. Gift-worthy? It is pretty and works well. It comes in a nice looking little box. This purchase was for me but I gave the second infuser to a friend at work who drinks a lot of tea. I would definitely purchase for someone as a gift.

So, I have a couple of infuser pots, one is clay, and one is steel, both work really well. Obviously, the clay one is a little easier to manage as I can heat the water up and then put the tea in. The metal one, is also good, but is more of a hassle as you need a container to heat the water in, then pour the water over the tea. Anyway, this little doo dad solves all of that. It is perforated on all sides including the top and the sides and bottom have a micro-mesh, so let the water flow really well while not letting even small bits of tea out. The top is a little bigger holes, but fewer. I think this is really made for cups and such, but I really don't drink anything less than about 20 oz. :) I have brewed both hot and cold tea in it and it works great. Clean up is pretty good too, and I am not always right on top of that, so sometimes i have to spend a couple of minutes to get the herbal tea goop out. As they seem to be high quality stainless, once you are done using it, you can toss it in the dishwasher on the top shelf or in the accessory shelf and do another wash on it. Awesome possum!
