3.0 out of 5 stars Decent quality but a few shortcomings, October 14, 2005

By	M. Saunders "micsaund" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a nice quality cup and infuser -- it's sturdy and comfortable. The infuser is resistant to staining and the little lid that is used to keep the heat in when steeping can be turned upside-down to act as a holder for the wet infuser when you remove it from the tea.

However, there are some problems. My main complaint is the design of the infuser. The sides are a nice, fine mesh whereas the bottom is plastic with some perforations. These holes in the bottom allow small leaf bits to flow-out. I have a Teeli infuser that has the mesh in the bottom also and it keeps all of the leaves contained. Second, and far more minor, the cup is rather small. It makes a nicely sized cup of tea, but if you're used to drinking from larger cups and mugs, you will find yourself gulping this one down pretty quickly.

Overall, this is not a bad product and if it had the full mesh infuser, I would have given it 4 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for tea, difficult to hold..., December 28, 2005

By	Allen Hall "a11en" (Corn-Country, Midwest USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this little guy as a small Xmas present, and have been pleased with it. Very useful. I agree with small bits of tea comments above through the holes in the bottom of the infuser, but it's such a small amount that it wouldn't cause anyone trouble. The general ergonics of the design are lacking. It's quite hard to hold by the handle, with no way to leverage the cup vertical (fingers slip down the handle). Only way I can figure out is to hold the cup itself, fingers through the handle but only near the very tip of the rim when hot. Needless to say, I enjoy using it, and the lip does have some significance to it, so it can be held in this manner quite easily.

Looking forward to many tea infusions at work now, and moving up to better loose teas in purchases. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect tea cup for me, June 11, 2006

I like it's size, weight, and the fact that it is clear glass so you can see the tea. I keep it warm at my desk with the aid of a coffee cup warmer and one cup will last for several hours. The strainer works flawlessly for me.
