Worth the money!
I have used tea balls or the egg shaped strainers before.They simply do not compare to this one. A simply elegant design that works perfectly. Room for leaves to expand, fine holes to keep leaves inside, a built in drip container. Easy to clean. Easy to use.There are far more interesting teas offered as loose leaf rather than the sachet bag.Far nicer than cheaper alternatives. Worth the money!

Works great!!
Great infuser for tea!! Looks like it is made well and will last. Made my first cup and it kept all the finer particles in the strainer, not your brew. And the cap is great for sitting your infuser on when done brewing.

New Favorite!!
Absolute new favorite strainer. I like full bodied teas, way more than the tiny circular ones can hold. And I love the lid it comes with!! It’s fits on every tea cup I own. I’ve used this almost everyday I’ve had it now going on almost two months. Super easy to clean and very good value for the money. It’s also a little heavy. I was surprised when I got the box how heavy it was. Now I know that’s because the quality was high. No leakage of tiny particles or dust. I can get a lot more flavor out of this than the tiny ones I had. It’s a little more than I tend to spend on strainers but worth the little extra. I know it’s not going to bend or get dented.

Versatile & ergonomic
Product: OXO Tea Infuser BasketRating 4/5 (exellent)OXO is known for good quality, ergonomic and reasonably priced kitchen tools, and this tea infuser fits nicely within that paradigm.Likes:+ Tabs: They’re wide enough to fit both medium and large mugs, as well as old fashioned ceramic tea pots of varying sizes.+ Roomy: Its wide enough and deep enough to work well with a wide variety of sizes of mugs and teapots. I bought this for use with a 3 pt ceramic teapot (mostly for Assam, Gunpowder and Puer’h), but it also works fine in 12 and 16 oz mugs, and as long as the liquid level stays below the level of the tabs, it even works in a saucier pan for infusing broths and sauces.+ Strainer: the perforations in the stainless steel basket are fine enough to handle not just loose tea, but tea fannings as wellDislikes:+ Perforations: Most tea aficianados tend to prefer whole leaf tea (either loose, rolled ala gunpowder or compressed ala puer’h) over that of fannings (tea dust, which is why tea bags exist), but it’s nice to have a strainer that’s fine enough to handle both. The only drawback of I an extra fine strainer is that it reduces infusion efficienctly somewhat, because your hot water doesnt convect as freely as it could through the walls of the basket. As a result, ive found it best to periodically ‘tea bag’ the basket up & down a few times, in order to get optimal extraction, esp when infusing in larger teapots.+ Lid: The lid can be inverted to double as a tea caddy, which is nice, but I wish there was a way to lock it in place, and perhaps attach a dunking chain, so that it could be fully submerged in larger vessels.Verdict: A solid value.

Stop drinking cardboard water. This is THE BEST INFUSER!
I’m going to tell you why your tea tastes like cardboard, but no longer will after using this infuser. To start, I became an avid fine tea and herbal infusion drinker 9 years ago in 2011. I am an herbalist, and the tools we use actually matter when it comes to brewing herbal blends that aren’t bitter and tasteless yet retain their medicinal qualities.. The vessel in which you brew is VERY important as well, and seeing as 95% of herbs come loose leaf and bulk, not individually bagged, its important to have great tools such as this stainless steel brew basket. Metal brewers leach iron and shavings into your tea reacting with the natural minerals present in the tea! This is NO bueno!Anywho, I often need to brew a lot of medicinal tea for myself or my clients. I’ve used mesh strainers, reusable cotton tea bags, silicone tea infusers, the stainless steel ball single cup tea infuser, kettles with the infusion basket inside, etc. You name it, I’ve tried it. Nothing comes close to how much I absolutely love THIS tea infuser. It fits perfect on my tea cup, which is 3.25″ in diameter. PERFECT for a single cup of tea. Not only that, It fits darn near perfect on small mouthed 1 quart mason jars with the lid on!!! That means on the days I want 2.5 cups of tea, I just add 3 more tsp of looseleaf tea into my OXO Tea Infuser Basket, put it in my mason jar, pour the water over the herbs, and BOOM. 3 large servings of tea for me, or 2 generous servings of tea for a couple. The silicon finish on the underside of the handles and the rim of the lid are genius. It keeps all the aromatic, flavor bursting, healthful oils in your tea, so you’re not drinking flavorless cardboard water. This is very apparent in blends with natural limonene, menthol, and eucalyptol oils found in teas such as peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon ginger, chai, and earl grey. Now you know why your tea was horrid. You let all the flavorful oils out when you brewed without the LID on!!!! The silicon finish on the handles and lid also creates a seal with cup, keeping your tea hot and those precious oils in.Stop drinking cardboard water and brew your tea with lids on people!!! I’m so grateful this brew basket has this fabulous lid. Use it. On the days I’m crampy because of menstruation, and I need a bunch of red raspberry leaf, I chuck a small handful of the herbs in brew basket, put it in my quart jar, and brew. I have enough tea for the next 3 hours and by then most of my cramps are gone. (Not to mention it tastes like a white tea!)See photos! I use this EVERY. DAY. and I don’t foresee myself stopping in the summer. I’ll just brew extra strong green iced tea and dilute it using this basket. Tea all year made easy!

Works great, well worth the price, should last a lifetime!
Worth every penny paid as this should last a lifetime of tea making. Very nicely made – as most OXO products generally seem to be. It is fairly large, but it fits fine in all of our different size coffee/tea cups without an issue – but could see having trouble if you are using a very small cup, one that isn’t very deep. Other than that this is an outstanding product. Plenty of room for your tea/herbal mix, the side flaps work great and hold the basket at a good height in the cup, and the really cool part is the cover that is used as a plate for the basket once you’re done steeping – so no dripping mess to deal with. It cleans up very easily. The entire thing is made from a pretty heavy-duty stainless steel and I don’t see why it wouldn’t last a lifetime! Great product!

Inox de qualidade, espesso na medida. Furinhos minúsculos. Nada de plástico. Cabe legal em qualquer xicara, sem deixar gosto residual. A borda da tampa é de silicone, para não queimar os dedos. Vai para lava-louças. É bem caro, mas muuuuuuito bacana e vai durar.

Well worth it. It’s strong and the mesh basket is cleanly finished. Love that it has the handle tabs on both sides, could not understand why some other models only had one. Fits securely on my giant mug. The lid really keeps the heat in while steeping.
