★★★☆☆
Its good for certain teas. For some teas, the leaves end up in the cup.
This little guy will fit just about any mug in your cupboard and most teapots, simply by adjusting its hinged arms up or down as needed.

This is amazingly convenient. I haven't met a mug yet that it hasn't fit, and having loose-leaf tea at work always makes my day easier.
Bought this to replace my older in-cup infuser, as the wire mesh had gotten bent and worn. So far this one works just as well, with the added benefits of sturdiness and folding arms for easy transport. I highly recommend it.
I took this strainer and 2 sample tins of tea with me on my last road trip...and it was great to be able to have real tea and not some Lipton baggies from convenience stores!
It has arms that are big enough to accommodate pretty much all the mugs I have. The holes in it are big enough to diffuse great and small enough that you don’t get any leaves in the bottom of your mug! I love it.
This works great as a simple tea infuser. The material seems solid and should last a long time. I do find it a little difficult to get all the straggler tea bits out as they like to cling to the grate, but other than that I have no complaints.
Works really well! A bit of residue gets through but I think that's just the natural consequence of using an infuser instead of a bag. It's leaps ahead of ones I've used in the past where I've had to pick out whole leaves. Haven't had a problem with it not fitting mugs yet.
I have a wide cup that I like using for tea, but most of the other infusers are too narrow. This infuser is great and because it has holes on the bottom, it cleans out great.
I used this daily. Fits every mug/cup I have and my teapots!
Easy to use and wash, works perfectly for single cups
Finally, I can make a loose leaf mug when I'm not up for a pot, or no one else wants any tea.
Large enough to hold enough for a pot it features easy open handles to fit most any teapot or cup, and mesh fine enough to strain out even the finest of pieces in loose leaf tea. Very reasonable price and practical.
Several of these make tea choices easy. Getting more than one run from your tea save cents!
So easy to use and small for storing. My favorite infuser. Love it!
Works well, folds up nicely and keeps all the tea where it needs to be, what more can you ask for.
This compact, foldable tea infuser is perfect for a simple steep at home and can also double as a portable infuser!
Handy to make tea at the office or on the go. Fits any size cup
Great quality and folds up nicely to fit in compact spaces for storage.
I love this folding infuser. I never enjoyed using the little spoon infusers and have spent many years using just tea bags. Graduating to loose leaf tea in this infuser was the best move for me. It fits my mugs perfectly, cleans easily, and allows for the full flavor of the tea to be released from the leaves.
This is perfect for when you make tea for yourself. It’s better than bags which I find messy and less environmentally friendly. The only downside is sometimes I can’t see how full the cup is until I’ve almost overfilled the mug. The infuser takes up the whole mug. Love this product.
Fits even my widest mouth mug. Small holes are also good since many fine teas can be steeped in this.
My ultimate recommendation for tea on the go. Environmentally friendly too. Allows room for a fluffy white tea, or an oolong that needs to expand. Fits any size cup. I love this folding infuser.
fits in a wide variety of cups and teapots, very useful and works for most teas
Nice infuser. It's sturdy, but is slightly more difficult to clean than a mesh one.
Nice and deep to let the tea flourish and steep. Easy to clean
Nice solid infuser. Fits in a variety of different size cups.
I didn’t like this as much as my other infuser (with glass coaster). I thought this would be perfect for work, but the mesh is a little too coarse for many teas, and the folding arms get in the way. It is a good but smaller than the other infuser, though, so that would help with smaller cups - just needs finer mesh.
Unless your tea has become a powder this will hold all the tea leaves. i also really like that both sides of the basket fold down for easier storage. I have yes to have a mug this is not wide enough for or too wide for.
It serves its purpose, hasn't broken yet its good with me
Love this so much! Fits ALL my tea mugs from small to huge. I take it with me where ever I go!
