Finum Reusable Stainless Steel Coffee and Tea Infusing Mesh Brewing Basket, Large, Black

As the title says, these fit perfectly in the Starbucks Modern Classic Mug, 12oz and the Starbucks Modern Classic Mug, 16oz , and really well in the Starbucks 14oz double-walled glass tumbler. I am also glad I ended up buying this Large Finum Brewing Basket, Blue instead of the Medium Finum Brewing Basket because the large is actually a bit smaller than I thought it would be... Actually, the size of the filter is fine, there's plenty of room for enough tea to make 2-3 cups if you want to use it in a teapot and still have enough space for the leaves to properly expand... however, the lid itself is not wide enough to completely cover most mugs larger than 12oz and if you wanted to use a cup that was small enough in diameter to be completely covered, chances are good that it might also be too small for the filter since the lid is only as wide as the actual filter itself, it doesn't extend out past the filter like the "handles" do. The only mug I know of where the lid ALMOST covers completely is the Starbucks Modern Classic Mug, 16oz ... I'm actually a little disappointed by the lid size because when I ordered it, for some reason I was thinking that it was much wider than the filter... Maybe I got the idea from one of the photos or the product description? I'm not sure now why I thought that. At any rate, the lid needs to be at least an inch or so wider than the filter so a larger mug could still be completely covered for better steeping and to keep your tea hot longer. Everything else is very nicely made, I especially like the extremely fine mesh which ensures that all but the tiniest particles will stay in the filter and not end up in your mouth. The bottom is flat, which is great because it means it will stand upright without falling over if you to use a cup that is shorter than the filter, and the lid also doubles as a drip-free holder once you want to remove it from your cup. All in all, I recommend this infuser, it is the nicest one I have seen at this price point. But if you do not like the idea of a plastic tea filter and want a metal one, then for around $7 more I would highly recommend the FORLIFE Brew-in-Mug Extra-Fine Tea Infuser with Lid , which does also have a lid that extends further than the filter. It measures 4" in height and 2 1/2" in diameter. The handles stick out an additional 3/4" from the filter which means it will fit cups that are between 2 3/4" and 4" wide.

The filter is working out good for me. I have a tea maker and the lid sometimes pops off the container holding the tea and then the tea leaves float out. You know what that means. Tea leaves everywhere. The tea then gets dispensed into a tea pot about 2 cup size. I put the Finum into a single serving cup and pour enough tea in to fill the cup. I have some tea that is very small, no big leaves in it yet the finum filter caught all the fine leaves. That is great. One of the most important tasks of a loose leaf tea infuser is to keep the leaves in the basket. Yet, making single cups of tea is not why I originally bought the filter. I want to make tea in quantity in a pan for my Kombucha. I have yet to do this but I'm pretty sure it will be ok. It should be big enough for a large batch and since it seems to be easy enough to rinse clean I can confidently make multiple batches. Although I have not used the filter much as I just purchased it, it is sturdy. The tea didn't have any strange flavors from the filter. The lid is good and that it doubles as a stand is nice too. I also used the filter in a cup that narrows at the bottom without any problems...The filter fit perfectly. Anyone who makes tea in a coffee size mug should have no problem fitting the filter right in the mug. From my experience with the filter so far I can recommend it. You would want to make sure the screen comes clean or flow could be reduced. There is plenty of room in the large basket for nice fluffy tea leaves. I have a lot of different tea leaves to choose from and this filter could get the best out of them all. I always disliked the tea balls that close in the middle. This filter presents none of the normal problems associated with a tea ball. I have not tried coffee in it but I don't see how it would be any problem. I guess the main thing for you to deal with when using this infuser is the temperature of your water and how you pour it into the filter. And that we all know is not up to the infuser. This is a simple to use filter without many drawbacks. I would like to say I will update with more use but I'm so busy I might not even get reviewed all the products I buy anyway. I'm a happy customer.

Product as advertised. Overall very satisfied. Delivery was prompt, though the box arrived rather crumpled. Item was not damaged, fortunately. Have used it daily over the past two weeks, found it to perform well: easy to wash, ample room for the leaves to infuse, and fits well in a standard coffee mug.

Es un muy buen infusor, el cuarto qué compro, dura mucho y ka malla es muy fina, muy remondable.

Ich bin eigentlich kein Freund von losem Tee, weil mir bislang immer etwas im Tee schwamm, was ich nicht leiden kann. Ich habe den Tee bisher immer in ein Teesieb gegeben und dieses eingehängt, was voraussetzte, dass die Tasse randvoll war (sonst trifft der Tee ja nicht aufs Wasser). Von Tee-Eiern hielt ich nichts, weil diese meist zu grobporig sind und nicht richtig schließen. Ich hatte nach etwas gesucht, was möglichst auch noch die feinsten Partikel herausfiltert, und das ist bei diesem Filter der Fall. Sehr feines Metallgitter, muss ich sagen. Noch dazu ist es völlig egal, ob man sich eine Tasse, eine Kanne oder einen riesigen Topf voller Tee machen möchte und wie der Wasserstand in dem Behälter ist, der Filter schwimmt ja immer obenauf! Er lässt sich ein bisschen streng öffnen, aber das ist kein Problem. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Easy way to make one cup of your favourite filter coffee, I use it most days. I tap used coffee grounds straight into the bin.

Das Sieb ist praktisch, da es genau in eine handelsübliche Tasse oder Glas passt. Der Durchmesser sollte am oberen Tassen oder Glasrand jedoch nicht mehr als 10cm sein, sonst fällt es durch. Entgegen mancher Rezensionen riecht es nicht nach Plastik. Fein gemahlenes Kaffeepulver lässt einen Bodensatz in der Tasse/im Glas zurück, -ansonsten passt jegliche Art losen Tees oder Kräuter hinein. Mir gefiel sehr gut, dass man den Siebdeckel als Abtropfschale benutzen kann. Hochwertig würde ich das Sieb nicht nennen. Es ist schon sehr dünn verarbeitet. In die Spülmaschine würde ich es nicht legen. Zum Säubern kann man eine Kinderzahnbürste nehmen.
