Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This Cuisipro infuser’s innovative, interior plunger produces faster and more flavorful brews. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, the gadget screws open to accept loose tea leaves, then locks securely to prevent accidental opening in a cup or teapot. To use, hold the heat-safe, plastic bead on the end of the 7-1/2-inch stainless-steel cable and dangle the infuser into the pot. When steeping is complete, the infuser rests on a stainless-steel saucer designed to catch drips. Prepare a single cup, an entire pot, or use this versatile tea tool to infuse spices. The accessory is dishwasher-safe, and covered by a limited, lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly handy little tea infuser, January 17, 2005

I have to admit I was surprised by how much of a difference a good design can make. It's amazing the little features some designers can think up! I don't know who finally thought of including a saucer with a tea infuser so you could put it down afterward without needing a separate plate, but they deserve some sort of award for being the only person to see and solve what probably should have been the obvious, yet wasn't.

The plunger is nifty. It really does make your tea brew faster, if you're the impatient type. It's the equivalent of sitting there stirring your teabag around or swishing your infuser through the water, except niftier.

The holes are small enough that you end up with a minimal amount of tea leaves actually in the water. It's pretty close to using a tea bag, and better than the "minuet" infuser mugs we have. It's also dishwasher-safe! I just take it apart, put the pieces in the part of the utensil bin that closes shut, and it's fine. Not the tiniest sign of rusting or damage. You can brew two cups of tea at once. So you can use this in your mug, or you can use it in your teapot.

I admit I'm surprised to find this much to say about a tea infuser, but I do like this one. Not only does it work very well, but it's quite the conversation piece, too!

So easy a child can use it.
1. Twist the ball to separate
2. Place the plunger in the lower half
3. Load in the dry tea leaves
4. Twist the two halfs back together
5. Place in hot water for 2-3 mins. then remove all the tea flavor by pulling up on the plunger while holding top half.
Great gadget!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, it's only a tea infuser..., December 18, 2004

However, this is a really nice infuser. The holes are fine enough for most teas and the capacity is large enough to do very bold leaf teas for a single cup or to brew a full pot of "normal" teas. Now, some of the teas I drink are too fine for the holes, but they are the exception. The design is quite nice as well. The handle sure beats those chains attached to some infusers that can fall in to your tea. On top of all of that everyone who sees this infuser asks me about it and always comments on how cool it is. They're right.
