HOUSE AGAIN Tea Infuser, Tea Strainer of Extra Fine Mesh, 18/8 Stainless Steel Tea Ball with Extended Chain Hook to Brew Loose Leaf Tea, Spices & Seasonings …

Bought this two years ago, used it everyday since, it still looks like new (attached pictures are the product after 2 years of daily uses). It does get stained with tea with time, but it goes away with a good scrub. No rust at all. The holes are very tiny so the tea leaves don't get into the tea. I attached a key ring on it so it's easier to use. I love that little thing. I recommend!

This is well made from strong stainless steel, and the lid when screwed on makes this infuser, very sturdy and knock resistant. Since the tannin in tea will colour the infuser brown over time, it is handy just to pop it into a mild solution of bleach and water, for it to come out gleaming! In use, this infuser will accommodate around three tea-spoons of tea, but be aware that dry tea expands when wet and hot! The size of the perforations are just right, allowing room for the trapped air inside to escape, but not the tea-leaves. However fine tea dust will find a way through, so I find it best to shake the infuser over the tea caddy/bag, before putting it into a cup or tea-pot. The stainless chain is long enough for securing to any mug/cup/tea-pot and the stainless resting dish is a real boon. All-in-all I highly recommend it, and yes, I would be happy to buy another if I needed one. CONS: It's a little pricey compared to some others...but it is quality!

Tolles Teil

Used for about a month and steeped over 20 teas, works beautifully. I use full leaf or even semi grounded and the container does a great job of steeping without letting grounds out. I suggest lifting up and down few times to get water in quicker.

Too unstable in the glass. Also loses its shine after a few use.
