House Again Tea Infuser (2 Pack, Large + Small), Extra Fine Mesh Tea Strainers for Loose Tea, 18/8 Stainless Steel Tea Strainer with Extended Chain Hook, Tea Steeper

I am a tea lover, these infuser are very good with separating the water from the herbs, definitely an upgrade from my old infusers. There is no need to do a second strain since the holes are micro small, I find them easy to clean and the lid holds tight and is easy to undone.

Item: House Again Tea Infuser (2 Pack, Large + Small), Extra Fine Mesh Tea Strainers for Loose Tea - I recently switched over from tea bags to loose leaf. I got a ball strainer and it seemed great at first. But it was awkward filling and messy dumping out. Also, small hard tea bits got caught in the screen. And most of all, when I finished the pitcher of tea, I couldn't drink the last bit because of the residue left. - Then I found this infuser. Perfect. I can fill it while it sits on the counter; I don't have to hold it or stop it from rolling. I can easily screw the lid on this infuser. - For me, if I hang the infuser on the side of my plastic pitcher, then the tea darkens at the bottom and I have to stir. And the pitcher lid was getting misshapen from the little hook. So now I slide the chop stick through the ring at the top of the infuser, and the infuser stays at the top while it infuses. - This screen is so dense that you can hardly tell it's a screen! I no longer have a residue problem. - This purchase came with a large and a small infuser and small saucers to catch their drips. This infuser is just so much easier to use all around. I highly recommend it.

Love these!! They aren’t too big but for a daily pot of tea it’s perfect. I like that the herbs don’t get out since the holes are so small.

While the capacity is good, there are small holes, and it doesn't leave any aftertaste for tea. I’m giving one star less because the metal is very thin. I don’t think it will last long.

These are great. Have lasted a long time. Big one is perfect for a pitcher of tea. I bought another set for my teardrop.

These are great. Sometime I open teabag and put in this infuser, trying to clean up my teabags. To eliminate microplastics. They do excellent job . They are a little soft just don!t squeeE hard. I like the screw on lid.

I bought the large and small. I am looking forward to using the large for soup this winter. The small has been perfect for a pot of tea. Being concerned about teabags on tea I already had I have been opening the bags and putting the tea in this strainer. Considering that the bagged tea is powder I was really surprised at how well this worked. All my other loose teas are great in this strainer. The main thing you need to keep in mind is how delicate this is, with all the micro perforations the container is very easily bent if you press too hard. I hold mine on the bottom edge when screwing the lid back on. I can't attest to it's longevity, but so far it's the best tea and herb strainer I have every bought.

Just to update. The seller did reach out and offer a refund. With all the positive reviews it is quite possible that my situation was an anomaly. The tea diffusers should do the job well. But where the treaded metal top joins the mesh metal sides is dangerous on the large one. The joint is not flush where the parts join, which makes a very sharp edge that can cut you when washing. It won't be able to cut deeply but it can cut.

I wanted a reliable replacement for cheese cloth sachets when infusing stews and soups with herbs and spices. Stainless tea infusers seemed like exactly what I need. Tested once, they are good. The small one can be stored in the big one when not in use. The big one can hold half a cinnamon stick with ease. Great alternative to cheese cloth and takes up less room.
