Porcelain Cup And Infuser (barn) Customer Reviews

Bought a couple of these as gifts and recipients really liked their look and utility. Recommended!

I love this set! The infuser basket has a fine enough mesh that it holds much smaller pieces than my other infusers. I do wish the mug was a bit larger, but that's only due to a personal desire to always have more tea! The mug itself is nice and sturdy, and the lid is something I hadn't expected to love as much as I do.

Really nice quality mug and tea infuser! Very easy to clean.

This cup is the perfect size to enjoy your favorite tea or chocolate. Love the color!

The infuser is very nice as it allows the tea to bloom properly. It has small enough openings to stop almost all bits from getting into the rest of the tea. It also fits in most other mugs which is very helpful. I find it easy to clean and the saucer included is useful. I bought a second one for the infuser alone so two people in the house can steep a personal cup of tea at the same time.

I needed something more substantial than a cheap silicone tea diffuser and this fit the bill! My favorite color is red, its a solid mug and lid, and the diffuser basket is very well constructed. Worked great and easy to clean!

This is a nice, simple mug in a great color!! I recommend it.

This works great, and is easy to use. I've had somebody tell me it's cute with the top on.

I use this almost daily for my CommuniTea packet. I must admit that I ordered this color because it was on sale. The only thing that I would change is the infuser is solid on the bottom . The tea steeps fine in it, just makes it a little harder to clean. May order this in another color.

I love this cup and have bought one for every member of my family.

This is a cute cute cup and a nice shape, but not worth the price. It also got a small crack on the top after 2 weeks of use, so the quality isn’t great. This is a nice looking gift, but I would not purchase again for myself.

My new favorite mug! I drink tea all day long and this just sits by my electric kettle ready and waiting! It's easy to carry around the house while you're waiting for it to steep or the lid keeps it warm if you're fussing with a project or the kids. The strainer is I'm very fine. The best part is that it all goes in the dishwasher!

I love my mug! I may order a few more. Lid keeps things hot and is a handy place for drippy diffuser. Heavy porcelain.

perfect mug, I wish the strainer had a rubber tip, it's super hot to touch to remove

great infuser. distributes the tea around, and not at the bottom

Great little cup for individual cups of tea, but the infuser is big enough that you could brew in a separate container (or pot without an infuser).

This mug is the perfect size and a beautiful color. The color identically matches the picture. Tea stays warm for a long time even without the lid, so that's definitely nice.

The strainer though... eh. The bottom is solid so you kind of have to tip it to drain it. Not a huge deal. The bigger issue is that it leaves behind a lot of debris in the cup. I got spoiled by the ingenuiTEA not leaving anything. When I use this strainer, the bottom of the mug is black. It's also kind of difficult to clean. You can't run water through it and watch the tea magically wash away. You kind of have to get in there.

The lid is a really cool touch! It keeps the tea warm while steeping and doubles as a liquid catcher and holder for the strainer. Really thoughtful.

Got this as a gift for my mother and she finds it very easy to use and it’s increased her loose tea drinking. I got one myself and like it, but find it a bit challenging to clean the strainer, though the strainer design does stop small bits from entering the tea.

Just as high quality as the others but with a few imperfections in the glaze so a little sad, still great.

Great cup! Color is nice, and the big infuser is better than the little dunking type I used previously.

I love this tea cup and infuser! The lid is great to hold the strainer for another cup later. This cup is dishwasher safe as well and fits great on my mug warmer.

This is one of our favorite products carried by Adagio.

A perfect gift, especially alongside the tea of the month club!

Well made, and looks very nice on the shelf. I bought these as gifts for some friends that are still on teabags. Hoping that they will enjoy the world of loose tea as much as I do.

I love this mug! It is thick and feels very quali-tea (ha!). The infuser in this is superior to those of the double-walled kind also offered on this site. I also like how the infuser truly does fit into its lid and that the lid can go on while the tea is brewing. My only gripe is that the handle is small for my large hands. I would purchase again!

Good quality. The diffuser is quite large but not an issue as plenty of room for loose leaf.

I love these cups! Not so much on the infuser. It’s really hard to clean out since it’s only around and not on the bottom. The cup and infuser is made a great quality and I like the red color.

I love this cup; it's great when I just want one cup of tea. The strainer is extremely high quality.

Great vivid color, amazing steeper included, incredibly durable mug.

Perfect! I bought this cup to use for my CommuniTea.

The infuser is sturdy! Very nice. The red is beautiful! It's not a really bright red, prettier in person! LOVE it!

The red barn infuser mug is very nice. It's a nice addition to my teaware.

This mug just made my tea life easier with less mess. So much to love about this mug and strainer. Many uses for the top of the mug from holding the heat in for a hot cup, to use as a coaster to hold the strainer. Perfect size for my tea all day long!!

Very nice sturdy mug with a good-sized infuser basket. The V
Barn red is a nice color.

I got this cup because I was looking for something that had a smaller strainer hoping to get fewer leaves getting through. This works perfectly for that. Like another review said however the downside is the bottom is solid, so you need to tilt to be sure all of the liquid out.

Beautiful color! And both the cup and infuser were much bigger than I expected (which is a good thing)!

Haven't used this yet but I'm so please at the amount of waster that can be added after the infuser is inserted. Great design.

As someone coming from a silicone infuser, this works well. My cup is barn red to a brick-ish hue, just not as glossy. The infuser is larger than what I was expecting. Third cup in and it's easier to start eyeballing how much leaf to place in. Tapping out the first batch works to a degree. Most of the time, I take a paper towel to wipe out the rest. It takes a little longer to clean out the infuser for another cup than it does with the silicone one I have.

I love drinking out of this. The tea infuses beautifully and I get far less leaf leakage than I do with other strainers.

edit:nvm I figured out what my issue was!

I love this cup and infuser. It comes in a variety of colors, and I have red and orange. Couldn't be easier to enjoy a cup of tea, just put your tea into the infuser, pour your hot water in, and wait the desired amount of time, pulling the infuser out when done. No mess.

I have several of these sets - they are great when you have folks who have different tastes and can enjoy whichever tea they would like to have!!

Brews a perfect amount every time. I love the color. It matches perfectly in my kitchen.

I love these cups and the colors, this color wasn't as candy apple in color as I thought. It was a bit darker red. Still great for making one cup and also for the communiTEAs!

Bought this for my mom for mother's Day and she loved it!

Love this cup and infuser. Using the lid as a coaster for the infuser makes a convenient.

Purchased as a gift to my granddaughter as her first tea cup! Passing on the tea obsession to future generations.

Finally I have a way to brew my tea without getting the small particles of the tea left over! And they come in a variety of beautiful colors.

I have this mug in several colors and I love them all, however this mug is not bright red as I expected... kinda orange.

I adore this cup. It's fairly sturdy and does its job quite well. The little lid is an especially nice touch. Keeps tea warm for a reasonable amount of time. Nice color, too. I'm on my third one of these. I lost the first one when I moved last, sadly. Then just recently my cat managed, somehow, to break the handle off the second one. Very bad luck, as it's survived other crashes without even chipping. Absolutely my preferred vessel for brewing and drinking my tea. If (or, more realistically, when) I manage to lose or break this third one, you can bet I'll come on back for number four. (Though I hope number three survives longer than the first two! It's not the cup's fault I forgot to grab it when I moved, but I'm going to be much more careful around my cat with this one... )

EDIT: Just wanted to note that cup #3 is still alive and well, and has been in regular service since I wrote the review. If anything, I have become even more fond of it. I use it exclusively for tea (well, sometimes hot chocolate too) and, since buying a nice kettle with different temperature options, I've been using it almost every day for at least one cup of tea per day. The metal infuser is easy to clean and the lid seems to improve the quality of my brews. I put the infuser in the mug, measure out the tea into the infuser, then pour in the hot water and immediately put on the lid. Then I tell my phone to set a tea timer for 3-5 minutes (depending on what kind of tea I'm having). When the timer beeps, I take off the lid, lift out the infuser so the tea drains out of it into the mug, then set the infuser in the upside-down lid on a nearby table or other surface. It's quick, easy, and neat. I can now make tea with great convenience, no mess, and very little fuss. All I have to do is pour out the used-up tea leaves and quickly scrub out the infuser and the mug while the kettle is heating the water, and I'm ready for another day of tea-drinking. Truly excellent mug. Now an indispensible part of my daily tea rituals. If I could give it a sixth star I would.
