Customers are satisfied with the durability of the coffee maker. They mention that it is well-made, holds up to daily use, and the quality of the plastic and mesh is higher than they thought it would be.

Customers like the mesh of the strainer. They say it's fine enough that tea dust never enters the rest of the cup, and it'll never leave residue from the tea in your cup. The mesh is versatile and can be used with different types of tea. Customers also mention that the screen is very tight, but water flows quickly, so there's no worry about spillage.

"...And the best feature is - due to the micro mesh, no tea leaves get in my tea! If your mugs have 3-3 1/2 inch openings, I suggest the medium size...." Read more

"...is big enough for the leaves to uncurl and brew properly, and the mesh is so tiny, there is NO spillage of tea leaves into the cup. Literally none...." Read more

Customers like the value of the kitchen strainer. They say it's well-priced, worth every penny, and simple. Some say it saves them time and money, and mention it save them from buying a special cup.

Customers have mixed opinions about the lid of the tea infuser. Some say that it makes a good way to hold in the steam while brewing, and the base also acts as a lid to cover the basket while brew. However, others say that the lid just sits upon the basket and does not attach to the top of the basket.

"...The lid makes a nice holder for the infuser when you remove it from your cup, making it neat and convenient to use - no extra dishes needed to hold..." Read more

Excellent for tea, not for coffee

Excellent for tea, not for coffee
It works really good for loose tea. It looks strange to see yellow liquid(green tea) with no small leaves at the bottom like I was so used to see but all I see is just a hint of powder in the cup.I also tried coffee. I wasn't so impressed by this. There's a lot of coffee bean silt at the bottom and foamy residue at the top. I'll stick with paper filter for now even though I'm not thrilled by the idea of throwing away disposable paper each time. I thought about deducting one star from this but since I didn't buy it for the coffee, I left it.Over all, it's an excellent product, design, material and built-wise. I brewed tea and coffee then tea again one after another but smell of coffee didn't seem to stay on it. Between each time, all I had to do was rinse it with water, no soap.Now the detailed dimension I wanted to know before I bought it but I couldn't find.Height: 75mmHeight to the underside of the top rim(this decides if the basket sits on the bottom of the cup or the top of the cup): 73mmFoot print: 47mm in diameter, quickly tapered(about 45 degree angle) to 52mm(bottom of the mesh cylinder).Top of the mesh cylinder: 57mm in diameterAbove the mesh cylinder but underside of the rim(this decides the minimum diameter of the cup when the basket sits on top of the cup): 62mm in diameter.This means, if you have a cup little smaller than 62mm inside diameter at the top, the basket may not go down all the way but maybe partly goes in the cup. Under 57mm, you probably won't get a good result.Far end of the handle to the opposite: 98mmLength of each handle: 18mmThis means, if you have a cup between 62mm and 80mm in diameter at the top, the basket sits on the top without positioning. Between 80mm and 98mm, you'll need careful positioning of the basket or the basket will fall in the cup. Above 98mm, it'll always fall, unless the basket sits on the bottom of the cup.*update* (2-20-11)Sample photos have been posted for visual comparison. I hope it'll help your decision making better.

I LOVE this tea infuser. It is easy to use, easy to clean, BPA free, and the tea tastes great. And the best feature is - due to the micro mesh, no tea leaves get in my tea! If your mugs have 3-3 1/2 inch openings, I suggest the medium size. If they have 3.75-4 inch openings, the larger infuser would probably be best. I also like that this was shipped in a cardboard box, so there were no dents or damage to the infuser. This is by far the best infuser I have ever used, and I would absolutely buy it again.

I've owned a number of different types of infusers over the years but the Finum is my favorite. I wish it didn't have a plastic frame but it holds up very well and is dishwasher safe (at least on the top rack). It's easier to clean than the Oxo stainless steel and silicon infuser that sells for about the same price and it seems to filter the fines of the leaves better. After I bought the Oxo recently, I bought a second one of these. The Oxo will likely be retired or given to a family member.
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019
Both of these one cup infusers are first rate, and reviews reflect that. But which is best for you? Is steeping convenience and easy cleanup most important, or do you prefer an infuser with gleaming industrial design that's a countertop showpiece? The Finum and Oxo both have their advantages. Read on to learn more:

We've had all sorts of single cup infusers over the years, all with small annoyances. Recently, I came across the Oxo and was initially very pleased, believing it to be the best single cup infuser I'd ever found. As tea infusers go, it’s stunningly beautiful, Museum of Modern Art worthy, and its solid metal weave is tight so no tea grounds find their way into the tea. The Oxo sits confidently on any sized cup, and most importantly keeps my fingers from getting burned.

But a week after getting the Oxo, I began to realize my sculptural gem had a growing issue for me. When shaking out the loose tea leaves, then rinsing under the faucet, a couple of leaves would always be left behind, inside the strainer. Because the mesh is solid, no pushing against it from the outside can help get the stray leaves out. Invariably, I eventually have to dip my index finger in to easily remove extra leaves.

When I ordered the Oxo, I had also considered the Finum, the iconic single cup tea infuser that’s proven and well loved. It’s not as stunning, but is still plenty attractive, yet mostly utilitarian in appearance. So, I bought the Finum for a direct “cup to cup” comparison.

Sure enough, the Finum is easier to clean. A stray leaf or two can sometimes also stick inside, but a rinse from the faucet from the outside in typically dislodges the leaves.

The Finum’s mesh is flexible, and gold in color, but still solidly in place and not likely to become warped looking in time like some other, cheaper single cup strainers. Like the Oxo, its fine mesh keeps tea grounds from entering the cup.

A thoughtful, favorite feature for both brands is the inclusion of the cover that doubles as a drip tray. The Oxo infuser sometimes sticks to it’s tray. Something about metal on metal adheres it temporarily but a quick rinse separates the pieces easily.

The Oxo’s handles are a little wider and I never feel the heat when lifting off the top of the cup. Because the Finum is not as wide, depending on cup diameter, I can sometimes feel a little bit of heat when lifting it off the cup. But never a burn, and really not an issue.

Also, I do get a little more dribbling sometimes from the Oxo and I’m not quite sure why. Less of those pesky occasional drops to wipe around the cup area with the Finum.

I do not recommend the balls with chain, or the two piece spoon like infusers. Besides being a pain to clean, your tea leaves will not properly expand and taste will be affected.

Thus, although I’m a freak for great design, and a designer myself, function over form wins out this time. I’m keeping the Finum. What a little gem!

When I started looking for a good infuser, I was a little overwhelmed by all the different kinds, and really it didn't look like any of them could keep the loose leaves out of the cup. I came across this almost by accident, since it's listed as a "brewing basket" rather than a tea infuser. I'm so glad I found it! I bought it based on the glowing reviews, and they were right. This is exactly what I was looking for. The basket is big enough for the leaves to uncurl and brew properly, and the mesh is so tiny, there is NO spillage of tea leaves into the cup. Literally none. It made the perfect cup of tea. I like the mesh being all the way around, including the bottom, because it makes it easy to clean. It's well built and I'm sure it will last a long time. The cap is great both as a cover and as a coaster to keep the counter clean. I really love this little thing. When I read all the reviews, I was going back and forth on which size to order. A lot of the reviews said to just go for the large, but the cups I use for tea aren't huge. They are the cups that came with my set of dishes. I ended up ordering the medium size, and it's exactly right. I'm including a couple of pictures in case it can help someone who is unsure of which size to order. If you're looking for a great tea infuser, buy this one! It's perfect.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014
I am new to loose leaf tea brewing, so I don't know how this compares to other products, but it works great for me. I use it to brew a cup at work - The medium size fits in my big 12-ounce mug with room to spare - I could have gone with the large. If you know what cup you'll be using it in, measure to get the best fit. It's not as easy to clean as a solid stainless infuser (like the one that fits my FORLIFE Curve 24-ounce teapot) because the tea leaves can get caught around the plastic ribs that give the infuser its structure.

The lid makes a nice holder for the infuser when you remove it from your cup, making it neat and convenient to use - no extra dishes needed to hold the wet, dripping infuser.

Before I buy, I tend to read all the reviews - paying special attention to any negatives that might cause me problems. For the price, I think this product is great!
• It's big enough to give your tea leaves room to move.
• It's compact and the lid/base keeps things neat.
It's not as easy to clean as a single-material infuser would be, but it's not a big deal. I'd only deduct a 1/2 star for this, but I can only adjust in whole-star increments.

Como um ávido consumidor de chás, este filtro tem sido excelente e sem sombra de dúvidas, uma das melhores aquisições que eu já fiz para complementar o meu jogo de acessórios de teaware.
Já usei ele pra preparar vários tipos de chás e filtra qualquer moagem de chá a granel com perfeição, não deixa escapar nem um pouquinho de pó e o mais importante é livre de BPA.
Tem me servido com uma utilidade imensa e muitos outros filtros que eu possuo de outros modelos e materiais, agora acabaram ficando em segundo plano.
Já planejo comprar outro dessa mesma marca, mas de tamanho maior, pra usar em alguns tipos de chás que eu às vezes eu uso grandes quantidades de pó para preparar uma chaleira grande que eu possuo.

Wir haben davon seit Jahrzehnten einen größeren. Bei richtiger Handhabung ein super Filter für eine Tasse.
Würde mich freuen, wenn es diesen auch noch größer, für eine Teekanne, gibt.
absolut nichts zu bemängeln.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coffee heaven!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2024
Oh how I have missed filter coffee. I bought the first one on impulse after losing my sense of smell with covid. I thought (correctly) that the smell of fresh coffee might help to reawaken my senses. NB I found the picture a little confusing and thought that there were two in the box so had to order a second for my husband. The purchase was well worth making and I love the wonderful aroma as I open the packet of ground coffee every morning. It is also very good for loose tea and so easy to clean and store.

Filtra muy bien. No pasa nada al agua aunque sea roibos que es más fino.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for very fine tea

Very nice tea brewer. The super fine mesh lets me make a cup of almost dust-like Ceylon tea without any of the tea leaves ending up in my tea cup. Perfect!
