5.0 out of 5 stars Medium or large filter? (video review), May 10, 2010

Should you go with a medium or a large filter? I'd go with the large to be safe, but many may disagree. In my video review, I compare the two to help you make a more informed decision. Hope it helps :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and perfect for the job, February 10, 2009

By 

TCL (Guilford, CT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finum Brewing Basket, Medium (Kitchen)

This little lightweight infuser is one of the best (and coincidentally the simplest) out there. It does exactly what it is designed to do and does it well.

Pros:
1) The medium size (also the regular size), fits most mugs perfectly and the size of the basket enables the tea leaves to unfurl fully giving an even steep and allowing full release of all the subtle flavors.

2) The mesh itself does not retain or affect flavors when rinsed/washed well between uses.

3) The fine mesh (also on the underside of the infuser) catches all tea leaves except for the finest dust while allowing liquid to flow freely.

4) The lid is a very thoughtful addition as it can also be used as a drip tray for the infuser.

5) This infuser may also be used for steeping coffee and makes a decent cup (2 tablespoons per cup).

6) The Large size can be used in large mugs and of course teapots.

7) The Infuser (Med size) is available in burgundy, green, blue and standard black so one can easily differentiate between Infusers used for flavoured and non-flavoured teas or coffees.

Cons:
1) The minimal plastic ribs may attact and retain oils in coffees and in artificially scented teas.

2) Allowing a patina to develop on the mesh, will partially clog the mesh over time while also transfering flavors if using different teas with the same filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great cup of tea, May 28, 2007

By 

Anita Getgoing - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finum Brewing Large Basket, Black (Kitchen)

One you use this strainer, you'll never go back to the tea infuser balls. The basket doesn't limit the amount of loose leaf you can use like the balls do, and you won't find small bits of leaf in the bottom of your cup either. The lid helps to hold in heat, and acts as a coaster for the basket when you lift it from your cup. The basket is easy to clean under running water.
