This gadget is very useful and just works fine for the teas
I LOVE this. It's perfect for really big mugs and teapots. A good solution if you're looking for a waste-free alternative to the paper tea filters.
A nice infuser that does what it needs to do. I find it a little difficult to clean when using it for teas that have tiny bits in them, though, such as masala chai; these bits tend to get stuck in the basket.
I use this all the time! Cleans easily and very sturdy - also fits many different pots and cups, due to the folding handles.
This works well and so far I haven't had any staining iissues, which is quite nice. It's very easy to use and I end up with a lot less tea leaf bits in my drink than with what I was using before
I love this infuser, as it works with any sized mug. The folding feature makes it great for travel, as too!
Easy to use and works great. The infuser in my go to tea pot has started to tear along the rim, so this is a replacement and it's been working great.
very nice infuser that fits great into any mug! No particles of my tea get into my drink, not even the finer teas I own.
This infuser is great, I use it at work all the time. The arms keep it from falling into my mug and it does a wonderful job of straining the tea so I don't get leaves in my cup
I was hesitant because I enjoy using a large pot for my looseleaf, but this really does have enough space in it for the infusion to work. It's also soooo easy for clean up! I will likely order a few more now.
I had one like this that I managed to break so I had to order another one. I have some very large mugs, and some unusual shaped ones too, and this infuser fits them all. Absolutely love the small gage holes, not much get through them. Would definitely recommend.
Fits perfectly in my mugs while also being easy to use and clean! Also fine enough mesh to keep most particles out of the cup :)
Love how easy to clean it is, and how nicely it fits all of my cups and various teapots. Convenient, easy to store, just what I needed.
Infuses wonderfully! Drains quickly, just a bit tricky cleaning getting the smaller bits out. Wish it came in multiple sizes!
perfect for purpose. simple and easy to use. no issues with using it. folds easily and is very compact and portable
I love this thing! I didn't know what I was missing far as infusers go but it turns out my love for cute aesthetic infusers was misplaced as this absolutely wins from ease of use, to no handling of super hot materials, to ease of washing, and so on. As another review said, it definitely does whistle under running water which was both a shock and a delight and now just makes me laugh every time I clean it because of remembering having read that particular review and wondering what the user meant by saying it 'sings'.
I love the design. Great for travel. Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to clean - for some reason the dried tea leaves stick and don't come loose easily under running water, at least compared to a mesh strainer.
Works as intended, it’s actually really good for any mug. The flaps on the sides can fold and unfold to fit big mugs if the rim itself doesn’t make it for your mug
Love how the handles fold down, helps save space when storing.
Pros: holds enough tea for my jumbo mug but doesn't fall into it, not plastic, doesn't stain. Cons: absolutely will NOT brew me a low-sediment cup of tea, and I've tried a bunch of varieties (one day I'll find out if pearls are the exception); harder to get spent leaves out of than my old plastic-and-mesh standby; and has developed a little poky wire at one of the seams. All in all doesn't rise to the level of 'don't buy this,' just 'be prepared to be a little annoyed.'
This infuser is so cute. The handle folds down for easy storage. The total size is small enough to pack in a bag for travel. Also makes a great little gift.
I gave this as a gift and the recipient loves how easy it is to clean, how it fits any cup, and its convenient size. So I am going to order one for myself!
Not much to say -- it's an excellent infuser, great quality, good fine mesh, and fits practically every cup and teapot in my house!
Beautiful, convenient and easy to store and dry :)
Extremely handy. Good for any size cup and many teapots. I strongly recommend getting one or two of these instead of trying to get a cup-and-infuser combo that only works if the cup and the infuser never break. Just pick your favorite mug and use this.
Oh I love it so much. It's very easy to clean, and to take it. I take it to work, and its just so nice to be able to have a good cup of loose leaf tea right at your hands when you're not home. I think it is durable and has held up well since I've gotten it. It's also great at home, especially when you only want to make yourself a small cup.
A very simple but useful device, I love the arms because they are sturdy. Plus the whole device is very heavy so it doesn't float like some others I've used
This is exactly what I was looking for! So many infusers don't sit very deep in the cup, and the clamping ones are a nightmare for spillage. This has a very fine sieve so really nothing gets through, and it sits really deep in the cup to really infuse. I love that it folds up and fits nicely in a drawer (not that it ever really makes it there, it's in use so frequently!)
It works great and is easy to clean without little bits of tea leaves getting stuck in crevices like in some of my other mesh strainers. The key is to clean it before the tea leaves dry in the strainer.
Good little infuser. My only knock would be the mesh isn't as tight as my previous one that broke, so a sometimes get tiny specks of tea at the bottom of my cup. Other than that, it works well. Wide and can hold lots of tea. Folding arms are nice too if you want to store it in a tight spot. Recommended.
I have many infusers but I like this one because I can fold it up or down. It is easy to put away in cabinet. The infuser does a great job straining tea leaves.
This is the best infuser that I've ever used! I love that it sits on the top of the pot, thanks to the folding arms, and the holes are very small so the leaves don't get into the tea.
The best infuser I have used, so much better than a tea ball! It accommodates expanding tea leaves and fits in mugs of all different sizes. The small holes and design of the basket sitting above the water prevents any tea leaves from escaping, while still steeping the tea well. Definitely will recommend to other tea enthusiasts!
Bought for a friend and when asked to review she said she liked it and it was a 5 star infuser. There ya have it!
Surprisingly more useful than I was expecting. Large enough to give the tea leaves a good bit of space. While I do wish it was a little wider to allow more room for the leaves to open up, I appreciate the incredible adaptability of the infuser whether you use it in all kinds of different sized teapots, cups, mugs, etc. Quality material by the way, it does not feel cheap and flimsy.
excellent infuser, the folding arms are convenient, and the holes are the right distance, easy to clean
Quality fine mesh that sits in the center of my 15oz mugs. Good for a single serving or two. Doesn’t dent easily and is easy to clean.
This infuser works wonders for my tea leaves!!!
I love this infuser! It fits every mug I own and is easy to clean. I recently switched from coffee to tea, and at first, I only had a double walled mug that had to be hand washed. It is great to be able to drink my morning tea in my favorite mugs again.
I have tried many infusers in the past and this was the absolute best one! It is second only to paper filters, but this folding infuser is reusable! Definitely recommend.
Easy to make fit in many different cups. Also, thankfully, easy to clean which was a pleasant surprise
drinking hot water without the crunchy parts. thank you folding infuser. you've done the job you set out to do and I appreciate that.
Fantastic infuser that fits perfectly in my teapot! Glad I picked this up!
I'm not sure what the point is of it folding, but the infuser itself seems to be of good quality and it is easy to clean.
I love this thing. It's super convenient, and I can swap looseleaf tea in and out without a fuss by just dumping it out. Definitely a worthwhile purchase especially if you forget to clean out tea balls from time to time!
This and a mason jar are my current travel tea kit. Works great for tea on the go with my small tea kettle. Would recommend.
This is an amazing infuser! Hardly any tea leaves slip through into the cup, even with rooibos! No more “eating” my tea!
great size to fit all the different sized cups I've got in my cupboard and since I usually brew loose leaf, it cuts down on having to use paper teabags when I want a single cup.
Works with all my mugs and travel mugs. I've recommended or bought them for several friends
So glad I bought this folding infuser! Works great in in all my tea cups, whether short or tall. The fine mesh has kept out the tea leaves, so I am very pleased and intent to keep in mind as a gift.
