Ohtomber Tea Infuser Strainers, Stainless Steel Loose Leaf Tea Strainer Stepper with Heat Proof Double Handles, Extra Fine Mesh Ball Infusers, Diffuser Holder Filter for Mugs

Love these! I use them every day (twice a day) and they work very well so I went back and bought extras. Wish I had bought them years ago… instead I struggled with those useless, crappy ball strainers that left tea leaves behind in the cup for me to gag on. The mesh on these is very fine. It holds in all chopped or minced herbs. If you use powdered herbs though, a bit might escape (because it’s a strainer after all!) I like the silicone/metal lid to keep the tea hot whole steeping. Buy yourself two so when you forget to wash one out (they wash easy though!), you have another to quickly grab. This product is a win.

Great tea infuser, the fine mesh works really well to hold the tea leaves and keep them in the container and out of my tea. Much better than previous ones I used to have where tea leaves would leak out. The size is good so of you’re using a compressed tea there’s enough space for the leaves to unfurl. Easy to clean and empty the leaves and drains well. No issues with rust.

Excellent! I live alone and only drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee in the morning. I use these as a "pour over" coffee method. Place the infuser in an empty coffee cup, and place coffee grounds in the infuser. Heat water in an electric kettle, pour heated water over the grounds in the infuser. Place cap on infuser for about 75-80 seconds and allow to steep. Remove infuser and have a great cup of coffee! It takes longer to describe than it does to actually do it, and clean up is a breeze, much easier than a coffee maker. I've tried a few other infusers - these work better than the others. Highly recommended!

I really like this. It is kind of big but that just makes it very versatile. I love the lid and handles. I think this will also be great for travel to steep tea without your standard tea pot. That’s want I’m using it for! The quality is great- no complaints there. It doesn’t leak tea and it has enough room for the tea to actually expand. It’s a keeper.

A friend had this loose tea leaf diffuser / container and I liked that it’s roomy enough for the tea leaves to fully expand and bought this. However, because of the material, more surface area than a tea bag, and size (nearly fitting the width of regular-sized mug), you end up with only about 3/4 mug of tea.I should find a taller mug to steep my tea, so I would end up with regular mug’s (8 oz.) worth of tea. Also keep the cover on when it steeps so liquid doesn’t evaporate, I’ve also found that the tea has stronger flavor because of this. I also use a cover flipped upside down, give more space for water. The silicone ribbon on underneath the lid also reduces the amount of water that you can pour in. Be careful because the metal parts & lid gets hot!

Second time using it, and I am impressed. I have a very fine Matcha tea and it was able to filter out virtually all the the tea sediment.For scale, the mug probably holds about 14 ounces of liquid. I love how the strainer sits at the top due to its flaps, doesn't touch the bottom, and is easy to clean.

Great infuser and reasonably priced. It has a fine mesh which is important to me since I don't like remnants of tea leaves in my tea. The handles make it very versatile, it fits on every Tea Pot and Travel Cup I've tried. It also has a lid to keep the tea hot while brewing and reversing the lid acts as a holder for the infuser after the tea is brewed.

This may be the most helpful and well designed gizmo I have. Love it for loose or bagged tea!
