★★★★★

I use this type of infuser EVERY day. I also like to gift this to anyone starting out on loose leaf teas.

★★★★★

This is literally my favorite tea infuser. It works well, washes out nice, and is overall just a fantastic design

★★★★★

This is very convenient to use. It fits most things I put it in, including the glass pitcher. It strains most tea out except for small pieces of chamomile.

★★★★★

Very convenient for when I don't want to brew a full pot of tea.

★★★★★

My husband bought me one of these for Christmas. I absolutely love it so much, I bought a second one.

★★★★☆

Easy to clean, fits easily in my large and small tea mugs. Very small tea leaves do come through into the mug

★★★★★

This thing works great. Not much more to be said. So have a haiku:
This is a basket,
Full of holes with wings that fold,
What did you expect?

★★★★☆

A very nice infuser. The arms reach across even my biggest mug, which is a PLUS. I did get some real tiny fines with it, but that is still fine.

★★★★★

Great infuser for different sized steeping containers.

★★★★★

Amazing, fits most cups/jars for tea, absolutely my favorite infuser for all cup sizes. I use this for my black teas, before I pour in boiling water I shake it above the trash to get rid of the small pieces of tea that fall through and then infuse into my tea.

★★★★★

Can't wait to use this for travel. We travel to Europe often and I'm always without my tea because I have no way to make it, not anymore!

★★★★★

The folding handles make for more convenient storage, but the best feature is the mesh size. The mesh is small enough to trap the smallest of leaves but not so small as to inhibit water flow. Highly recommended for western brewing.

★★★★★

This is one of the best infuser that I have ever had. Easy to use and easy to wash. Love it!!

★★★★☆

I ordered this with my first tea order, figured I needed it for loose leaf tea.
It works Great, seems to be excellent quality. Only thing not good is the empty and clean up.
It takes a little finess to dump the used leafs and then get it rinsed clean. But I'll live with it.

★★★★★

This works great! I love it. Easy to use, easy to clean and doesn't take up much room Looking forward to try more of the teas in it.

★★★★★

This all-metal strainer is perfect for me. It fits all my favorite mugs, has a fine mesh-like texture that doesn't allow any unwanted debris to get through and it's easy to clean. I also like how the arms fold down for easy storage. Solid piece of equipment for anyone who drinks tea often, I can't recommend it enough!

★★★★☆

Can put all my tea in this...

★★★★★

I use this everyday day. I highly recommend this infuser. Fits perfect on my tea cups, mugs. It could get pretty hot, so please use the folding hands

★★★★★

Our household uses this daily. It is so convenient for all cup sizes and my favorite is how simple it is to clean!

★★★★★

Purchased one just to see if it's really is useful. It truly is. I now use this for most of my teas instead paper filters or my old IngenuiTEA. Easy to clean and usable on nearly any cup, this is now my favorite tool for teamaking.

★★★★★

I absolutely love this tool! It is the best thing for brewing loose tea. It cleans easily and has just the right size mesh for even the finer leaved teas. Thank you!!

★★★★★

This infuser is incredible, and works for pretty much any sized mug! Plus, it's super easy to clean. :)

★★★★★

I bought this to put Yunnan Noir into, as the heavy leaf of Yunnan Noir expands considerably I restricts effective diffusion in a standard (smaller double net infuser. this infuser works adequately for my purposes, and will serve perhaps even better if put to a teapot. (When the day comes I set up tea for a companion, also.)

★★★★★

This is the perfect size to sit on top of my mug. It’s also easy to clean which is great. It arrived quickly.

Just bought this last month and love it! It fits every cup I have and the small holes keep the tea in the infuser. Will use this for travel!

★★★★★

This is exactly what I was looking for. On some of the finer herbals and rooibos some leaves will slip into the tea, but it doesn't bother me any. It sits perfectly on top of my mugs, the teas all steep well, and the infuser folds down to take up less space in my cabinet.

★★★★★

Very high quality and nicely portable. I purchased it to easily use my loose teas on travel and at work!

★★★★★

I have dozens of infusers, but never have ever worked like I wanted. This is the perfect infuser. It does not crowd the tea, and it fits just about any container!

★★★★★

It seems like every other guest I invite for tea leaves with one of these handy infusers! It's such a simple device that cleans easily, fits every cup or mug and has become part of our tea ritual.

★★★★★

These are so handy! I use Them weekly and they fit any tea pot, they are stainless and easy to clean

★★★☆☆

Great idea only thing I have to say is I wish the mesh was a bit smaller to let less particles through it .but I use it everyday

★★★★★

Good infuser- I make my tea in a pot on the stove and then pour the tea through this strainer right into my cup. Very solid. My last infuser wasn't folding- which is good for space but makes it harder to bang out tea leaves stuck on the bottom.

★★★★★

I bought this for my best friend to encourage her to slowly stop using tea balls and she has loved it! The flavor is so much better when the leaves have room to fully expand - you'll be amazed

★★★☆☆

I gave this a try, but I prefer the paper filters. More of the solids get through the mesh, and I think the arms are a bit flimsy.

★★★★★

This is my new go to strainer. I actually prefer it to the tea filters. It’s easy to clean and fits all of my mugs.

★★★★★

A great gadget for making a quick cup of delicious hot tea! easy to use, easy to clean and the folding arms are genius! I use this all the time now. . .I have a goose neck water kettle and this little device and voila. . .! Love it!

★★★★★

I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now and it’s my favorite thing ever. It fits perfectly in most of my mugs.

★★★★★

wonderful and well made infuser that is perfect for almost any regular 8oz- up cup.

★★★★★

Much bigger than expected! I'm used to infusers with lids but the handles help it sit nicely in the middle. A great time to get one since my last one started rusting!

★★★★★

I bought one for myself and I love how versatile it is. I can use it with any of my mugs, even those that are HUGE and I need to double up my tea leaves- it always fits! I love it so much, I bought one for my husband and parents as well!

★★★★★

I bought this to go with my Ember mug that my husband bought me for Christmas last year. It fits great. The infuser is a very fine mesh and keeps the fine powder from escaping into my tea. Easy to clean, fits great in a work drawer. I wish it came with a little pate to keep water rings from my desk, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something. 10 out of 10, will purchase for friends when the subject comes up.

★★★★★

This is just the (only product of this style) right size and shape to brew a single serving right in the cup!

★★★★★

Works perfectly and fits in all my cups. A little tough to clean

★★★★★

This fits the majority of my tea/coffee mugs. Easy to use and clean. I'm sort of waiting to see how it holds up after months of usage.

★★★★★

Works great! I also like the folding handles that make it take up less space when not in use.

★★★★★

Solid infuser, well made and sturdy. It can hold a lot so if you're using a large mug or teapot it fits nicely. My only concern is that perhaps the folding arms might break in time due to receptive stress on the hinges, but I think even if that does happen it's perfectly usable.

★★★★☆

So far so good - folding arms work well and seem sturdy. Some dregs from the tea does get through the holes, but it's not a ton.

★★★★★

This is my new favorite infuser. It folds up has fit any mug or I have used it on. The finer strainer works with even the small teas such as rooibus and Honeybush. Overall highly recommend.

★★★★★

Love it! Recently arrived home from London and we were served tea using a strainer like this.

★★★★★

Nice for a one cup of tea. Fits nice in a mug. Easy to clean, just run it under water, after you throw out the used tea.
