18/8 Stainless Steel Tea Infuser, Extra Fine Mesh Tea Infusers for Loose Tea, Tea Strainer Steeper Filter for Brew Tea, Spices & Seasonings (1)

I got a lot of Lucy and I love the fact that they come with a little tray to put the t-ball on and they sit at the bottom of my cup so it's so good

I really like this tea strainer and thought it was easy to use with its screw top, well constructed and works well. I was surprised to read some of the reviews that complained about the poor quality and workmanship, as I did not find any such faults in mine. Granted, it is not a perfect design but there is basically nothing wrong with it at all. I tried to capture it in my photos but you might be able to see that the edges are riveted into the sides and ends with barely perceived points, with no glue or soldering noted anywhere. So I have no qualms using this for seeping my tea. The mesh is super duper fine and from the photos look practically solid. It does an excellent job of containing loose tea and letting the water flow through. The size is a bit large for standard small tea cups and is better suited for mugs and tumblers. I especially like that it sits on the bottom of the cup to ensure that everything in the strainer gets completely soaked. The chain is connected to the lid by a coil ring. On one, I took the chain off the ring because I like cold seeped tea and like to leave the tea in while I drink and refill the water. Having an extra strainer with the chain attached is good to have for my hot teas whenever I need it. Overall, I'm very pleased with this selection because it does its job and does it well enough for me to enjoy my teas the way I like to have them. The insides are smooth which makes it easy to clean.

These tea infusers seem rather basic, but so far seem to function just fine. They have a screw-on top with a small hook and chain to hang onto the edge of your teacup, so it is easy to remove the infuser once the tea is adequately infused. It even comes with its own little metal saucer so that you can set the infuser down without getting tea droplets on your table.My one issue is really that the makers did not go out of their way to improve the aesthetics. The infuser is basically a metal tube with a lot of tiny holes, and a bottom and top. In order to roll a piece of metal into a tube, you have to have a seam where one side meets the other. In many other similar tea infusers, this seam is ground down and almost imperceptible. However, with this infuser the seam where the two sides of the tube meet looks rather primitive. The tube appears to have been chemically welded (?) closed, and then crimped in several places along the seam. The crimping is perhaps the least expensive way to make this type of tube, but it also looks less expensive. The outermost metal edge along the crimping is still sharp and unworked. And it seems rather suspicious that none of the images show the seam, as if it were purposefully air-brushed out; undoubtedly because they realize the seam is a bit of an eyesore on an otherwise cute infuser.This rather industrial aesthetic is not really a big deal to me, as the tea infuser is very much functional and yes, it did give me two good cups of tea this morning. However, the apparent lack of attention to this one detail makes me wonder whether the crimps or weld might break loose at some point. Why would they need seven crimps? That tells me that they felt six might not be enough. It just doesn't give me confidence that these infusers will be around for the long haul. But over the short term, I plan to get many, many more good cups of tea from them.

My husband drinks loose tea daily and regular infusers not only fall apart easily but their mesh lets a lot of loose tea get in to the cup. Both issues are solved with these. They're really well made, with a screw cap, and the mesh on them allows the tea to infuse, without ending up with "gunk" in your cup. They're relatively easy to clean, though i do recommend getting the tea out while it's still warm as it will be easier.

My main criterion in a tea infuser is fine-ness of the strainer. I hate it when the leaves leak through into my tea. I tried this with peppermint tea, arguable one of the finest leaves out there, and only the tiniest specks got into my tea. Check out the picture to see what got through! Nothing I could feel as I was sipping.I also really love the tiny plate to put the infuser on when it's done steeping.

I really like this infuser. The mesh is extra fine. I drink tea and this works great. The lid screws on nicely and with enough turns that it will not just pop off and dump it contents into your cup. It holds enough loose leaf tea to brew a large cup, 18oz or larger. The metal is non magnetic so i think it is actually some sort of stainless steel. Over all a great tea or coffee infuser.

The cylinder part is not a solid piece but is “welded” with little tacks down the side. I don’t believe there are any type of welds that are safe for food contact surfaces. I may be wrong and overly cautious but it seems fishy to me.

This 2-pack of stainless steel tea infusers is good. The 18/8 stainless steel feels durable and seems to be rust-resistant, so I know these will last a good time. The extra-fine mesh does a great job of keeping even the smallest tea leaves out of my cup, so there’s no grit or residue. They’re also easy to fill and fit nicely in various cup sizes. My only slight issue is that the lids don’t always fit perfectly flush, but it’s a minor inconvenience but, quality wise good.
