Product Description

Finum Goldton Filters Given the delicate tissue structure that makes up the filter, the product may be used for fine teas and coffee alike. The combination of high quality plastic and stainless steel allow the user to have an aromatic enjoyable experience while the tea lid maintains the tea warmer for a longer period of time. Once the brew is complete, the lid can simply be flipped over and used as a drip tray for the used tea filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and perfect for the job. 2-piece set perfect for the tea enthusiast., March 29, 2009

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.


This set has 2 different colored brewing baskets enabling the tea enthusiast to differentiate between baskets used for different teas or for tea and coffee. A thoughtful gift for the enthusiast.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of The Best!!!, October 30, 2009

I have used this type of filter for many years and find this Finum filter to be one of the best. This filter has especially fine mesh, which traps all but the most infinitesimally small sized particles of tea or coffee. This filter has a most generous, well thought out size and shape, which fits most cups and many teapots, allowing free flow of water and complete unfurling of whole leaf teas. They are German-made. It is sturdy enough with reasonable care, washes or rinses easily and completely with no "hidden traps" for leaf particles or grounds and lasts just about forever. The cover, which DOES NOT attach, but merely sits on top, helps to keep your water warmer while steeping and functions as a drip-proof coaster to hold the filter when you are finished. The downside with all of these type filters is that, eventually, the filter holes will slowly become so clogged with tea/coffee oils and particles that they will be impossible to thoroughly clean, thus needing to be replaced. (I've tried every method of cleaning!) This occurs much sooner when using coffee, but eventually happens with tea usage, as well. But, for the price, they are not too expensive to replace every few years and overall, provide a far superior way to steep tea/coffee. In the long run, they are much cheaper than tea bags, better for the environment and allow a much more varied and pleasurable tea experience. We very much like these and will purchase again.

I find these filters on the spendy side, but, worth every penny anyhow. When they eventually wear out, I most assuradly will buy another set. No tea dust in my cup. I like it.
