Porcelain Cup And Infuser (grasshopper) Customer Reviews

If you sip on your tea as slowly as I do the lid that comes with this mug is a lifesaver, my drink stays warm and I stay happy

I love my cup! The infuser is great. I have another one like it I got from Adagio years ago. I like this design because it keeps all the dregs from floating down into my cup. Yes, a few extra seconds of having to tip the infuser a touch in order to let the tea finish draining into the cup, but that is not a bother, especially for the benefit of no dregs. Makes a great gift for tea lovers.

Beautiful color. Love that the lid doubles as coaster. I like that the infuser has super fine holes so that the loose tea doesn’t end up in my tea.

This was a nice gift for my DIL who is just getting into tea. She loves green. I was putting together a gift basket with some samples.

This is a very nice set, both the saucer and the infuser. I love the color. This is set aside for brewing my green teas. :)

Gorgeous color however infuser is a bit too big for the cup.

Why is the base solid? It traps water! I'm actually mildly disappointed in the infuser that comes with this cup! Finum mesh filters can be had on Amazon and perform a much nicer brew that doesn't trap the water. You will get tea out of this but the infuser itself is an odd misfire from Adagio's usually sterling lineup of products. That said the mug itself is the same type of mug that they sell as a four pack. These are great mugs that insulate well, do not spread warmth to the handle and hold just the right amount of tea that I am looking to drink in a sitting. The matching coaster top is very nice and whether you use the included infuser or a comparable infuser, it's a great thing to have. I drink teas that can steep more than once (like Adagio's pu-erh pearls) and being able to leave my infuser full of leaves in the coaster while I drink is marvelous. If Adagio can upgrade their infuser design this would quickly jump from a three star product to a five star product in my eye. Again the mug and coaster are top tier. The infuser leaves something to be desired and is why I've knocked a couple stars off.

I have so many of these infuser mugs! Love the colors, the infuser basket, everything. I like the curved walls of this mug aesthetically better than the new design, but it has a smaller handle, so if you have big hands or have hand mobility/grip issues, you might go with the newer straight-walled design.

I love this cup, so very much. I use it every single day, my cup of green in the morning, and my cups of herbals at night. The coaster lid is a nice inclusion, and the infuser has the perfect balance of rigidity and... holes? Openness? Perforations? so it can steep and drain quickly, but also be cleaned easily, both between cups (a quick but not-very-thorough tap to remove the tea) and a full washing

I gave this as a gift and my niece absolutely loved it!

Beautiful color and high quality stainless steel infuser

This is such a good purchase to make. The metal filter is very easy to clean and easy to handle without burning your fingers, and the lid is an ideal rest for it. The lid gets a little hot though, so if you've sensitive hands like I do, be mindful of that.

This mug is a gift for Mother's Day. I have a few of my own in different colors and use them everyday.

I love this color and I like the lid...BUT the infuser is solid on the bottom. So that means it doesn't drain unless you tilt it and use a spoon to press the rest of the tea water out. The super fine mesh is too fine, which contributes to the trouble of not draining. The infusers on say, the double wall cups, are better: bigger holes on all sides so it drains better. I really hope they take this into consideration and redesign it because I would buy a replacement infuser cup.

Purchased for my DiL so she can brew some of the Adagio teas that are herbal or ones that I'm not fond of.

just love these cups. wonderful colors and so much easier to use than a tea ball.

I like this cup, my only complaint is I still get tea leaves in the bottom of it . I am not sure why this is

This was a gift for my boyfriend who is new to and was a little intimidated of brewing loose tea. Its a lot more pastel in real life than the lime green I thought it might be, but thats fine. Its sturdy and the perfect size and very easy to clean.

This mug made a great gift! I got one for myself too. The infuser fits snug on top of the rim and doesn’t let any leaves overflow into the mug. Great quality

We love these infuser’s. Perfect size, and the color brightens up any day.

Very pretty. It goes well with every decor. I purchased itvas gift and I am sure she'll love it. It would also make a great gift for a man

I really like the mug and the infuser does a good job. Just wish the infuser was easier to clean.

Looks nice and functional. stains easy inside cup but does the job.

I really like these cups, makes it easy for trying new teas and just making one cup!

This is my favorite cup. The strainer is easy to clean, the cup easy to wash, and I don't get much grit in my cup.

This cup is great! Perfect for a big cup of tea and the infuser is good and sturdy.

This was purchased as a gift, so all I know is that it shipped quickly. But I have a similar item at home that I use constantly and would definitely recommend something like this for anyone who drinks tea at home frequently.

I get so many compliments on this cute little set. So well designed and easy-to clean. Stays hot for quite some time.

Love this cup! My grandson picked it out because he loved the color! Will order another for home

I have this mug in a variety of colors, this green is ugly

I'm so glad I went with this cup! It is super easy to use, the lid fits perfectly and the strainer sits in the lid well so there is no mess. My only complaint is that it can be a little tough to get all the tea leaves out of the infuser when cleaning.

The cup is very versatile: I can try more than one tea at a time without worrying about overstepping (great for taste test but obviously with the help of some more stand-alone tea infuser $12 each). Additionally, the design allows me to preserve my leaves between infusion since some of the black tea can be infused over 10 times Gong Fu style.

The one star deducted is because of an aesthetic problem (the cup’s interior bottom Is not perfectly glazed) and because of the unfit lid which doesn’t seem to be designed for the cup (it slides around and doesn’t stay put).

I love my tea cup and infuser, it s the best and most convenient infuser that I ve tried. I m going to order another one the next time in a different color.

Love green and love my new infuser. The only way to enjoy these teas :)

I purchased this as a gift for someone so I haven t used it myself. However, the grasshopper color is quite pretty, and I do love that there s a lid to place the infuser.

Love the color (grasshopper) and the infuser, which works well and is designed so conveniently. Have one for home and thinking about another for the office. Bought them for friends as gifts and every one raved.

These make excellent gifts. They are great quality and come in pretty colors. I enjoy mine at the office.

My cup arrived with a small defect in the rim. It isn't chipped but it's slightly imperfect. It's purely anesthetic issue -- it does not affect the cup's ability to hold liquid.

The only minor complaint I have about this cup and steeper is that I find myself filling the cup a little too high and overflowing my tea.

I loved my pink cup so much that I had to order a green one so that I could keep one at work, one at home! They are so adorable! I love that they are slightly larger than a standard coffee mug and I love that they come with the lid and infuser. It s everything you need to get started! (And did I mention they re adorable?)

This mug is the perfect size to brew a cup of tea, then add milk, cream, or a bit of cold water if you're impatient like me and want to drink your tea right away without burning your tongue, plus any sweetener you plan to use. The infuser is a great size for leaves or pearls to fully expand in the steeping, and the holes in the mesh the right size to let the water and flavor through, yet keep in most particles (for those of us who aren't crazy about 'grit' in our tea). The infuser rest fits perfectly, and also acts as a great lid during infusing, to lock in that extra bit of flavor. The porcelain is good quality and the enamel has stood up well to multiple hand washings. About my only complaint is that it is made in China. Otherwise, I think it's perfect.

Prior to this, I have been using one of those little ball-shaped infusers that holds your tea inside while steeping. While that's a fine solution, getting the right amount of tea stuffed into the ball (and cleaning it out after) can be a bit frustrating sometimes. This infuser is a great alternative; can be a little dodgy to clean out, but maybe I'm too cautious about not wanting to damage it (the metal is reasonably strong for how thin it is, but I am reluctant to try scrubbing it out).

Very nice tea mug and infuser combination!

I am in love with this cup. It's possibly the perfect size when matched with the PersonaliTEA teapot. I get two of these cups from a pot, and for when I only want one this infuser is brilliant. It's sturdier than any I've found locally and works out cheaper to boot.
I would definitely recommend this one to others, and plan on picking up a few more as gifts!
My only complaint at all is that the lid is a bit ill fitting. It works, but whether or not the infuser is there it slides about. Still it does the job well, it's just a little pet peeve.

I love these mugs. I currently have 3 of them because I drink so much tea.

Love it! The mug is the perfect size and shape - and a great color. And the infuser is perfect for all loose leaf tea - even the tiniest pieces stay inside!

Absolutely love this cup and infuser. Works with every type of tea and is easy to clean.

It is a very good cup. Pretty color and the infuser works wonderfully.

All the tea cups in my cupboard... and this is always the first I reach for. I love having that cover for the strainer so that I'm not waiting by the tea pot to steep!

I love this cup it makes having a cup of my favorite teas much more convenient

Such a cute cup and a love the tea infused it's so fine you get no bits of leaves.

I like the cup a lot but not the infuser. The bottom doesn’t have holes so it’s hard to drain.
