Product Description

This Tovolo In-Mug Tea Infuser features a unique design which can be used either in a mug, cup, or pot. Whether you are an avid loose leaf tea drinker, or just enjoy it on occasion, this infuser will prove itself in any setting. The vessel is perforated to allow water in for steeping and the top is designed to catch the rim of your mug or teapot, suspending it in the hot water. Once the tea is finished, rest the tea infuser on the base that is included, which will catch any residual drips.

Pros:
Portable, great for work or on-the-go
Unique base doubles as drip catcher and lets you store anywhere, on desk or countertop
Easily adapts to any size mug or tea pot
Simple to clean - just rinse under running water
Lower price than many other tea infusers

Cons:
Large mesh screen allows more sediment through
Unlike Bodum's stainless steel infuser, this is steel and plastic - less sturdy

I had always used the ball type infuser before and it was hard to get those big leaved teas in there without the stems and such keeping it open a bit. This infuser makes it all so easy for the klutzes of the world.

If you want to make two cups there's enough room in there for the needed amount of tea.

The Tovolo In-Mug Tea Infuser, Green works well enough. However, the problem I have with it is that the holes at the bottom are too big. Consequently there is about a quarter of an inch of tea I have to throw out because it is full of tea leaves. I had an infuser that worked wonderfully until it broke. It was a chemistry beaker that had the bottom cut out and replaced with a set of three filters. The leaves stayed in the beaker while the tea stayed in the cup. I lost the contact information for that product or that is what I would have bought.
