Great for hobby purposes, too
I bought this item to use for applying flocking material to my model cars, and itâs absolutely perfect. Highly recommended

Good product
I really liked this product. I got two of them. I did notice a little bit of resting happening with it, but I drink tea a lot so I mean itâs a lot of use.

Cute and functionable
I purchased this to hold dried Hibiscus Flower tea which I have purchased bulk here on Amazon. Prior to this I had been buying teabags and would have to use two bags for my two cup coffee mug. The bulk purchase is definitely cheaper than purchasing tea bags but I did not want to deal with floating flowers in my mug.My mother use to drink loose leaf tea without an infuser and would just sip and spit the leaves back into the cup. I have tried that method but I find it slightly annoying, and not something I want to do while I drink tea at work. I also have a bad habit of using too many tea leaves and my tea would be way too strong.This little infuser holds enough hibiscus flowers for my two cup mug, was easy to load up and easy to clean out. I’m here today to buy a second one to use at home.

THIS INFUSER/SCOOP DOESN’T LET YOUR TEA LEAF PRISONER ESCAPE!!
We used to use those cute little tea stirrers that opened the same way but looked like spoons and have holes cut out of the metal. Have you ever tried to drink rooibos, or the loose leaf tea from the bottom of the bag out of those? You end up being to tell your own fortune at the end of the cut with the amount of tea leaves still left at the bottom! he leaves just float out of the holes.With this one, the netting is small enough, it catches *most* of the leaves. Rooibos is just super sneaky, so sometimes I wrap a paper towel around it before the plunge. I’ve had the first one I purchased for over a year and we always fought over who got this one and who would be the lucky one that didn’t end up with embarrassing tea leaf in their teeth. I had to get another just to stop the kitchen battles!THINGS TO BE CAREFUL WITH:1) Make sure all the leaves are INSIDE the rim of the scoop before closing the scoop. If a bit is on the rim, it won’t close all the way and the little tea leaf prisoners escape.2) Don’t ever dip the scoop in wet (like if you are going for round two!) It makes leaves stick to the outside and it hard to get off back in the bag. You *could* rinse it int he sink, but that would be wasting a very precious commodity!!3) Don’t be lazy like me and when you are done, rinse it out right away. If you let it dry on your tea rest, it glues together and the metal hinges are not quite strong enough to break it free. Just rinse it under hot water to loosen it up again then empty.

Needs additional “Lock” to minimize material escaping between the two halves
Bought this to make pitchers of herbal tea. The mix I am using has some short stringy bits that leaked out of the ball where the two halves meet and I had to strain the finished brew through a coffee filter. Don’t know if a product exists that would be adequate. Maybe that’s just how it is but this doesn’t work for my needs. I like that is is stainless steel but there is one hinge point and one little locking device opposite the hinge which seems inadequate for a 3″ ball. A couple of locking mechanisms could reduce what escapes where the two halves meet.

Produto cumpre bem a funÃ§Ã£o e pelo preÃ§o ok.Entretanto notavelmente nÃ£o possui um bom projeto uma vez que Ã© uma luta inserir o chÃ¡ e fecha-lo.Devido ao posicionamento horizontal para colocar o chÃ¡ vocÃª nÃ£o consegue deixar o chÃ¡ dentro sem que fique nas bordas , oque impossibilita seu fechando.Mas com paciÃªncia da para usar.
