A wonderful tool for tea drinkers
I drink lots of lose-leaf tea, and am very picky about the quality of what I purchase, and the resulting taste. I am also a food traditionalist, and don’t like gimmicks. But I have embraced this infuser with enthusiasm. The reasons:1. it does a great job and gives me a lot of control over the brewing. I can see the tea leaves unfold and the color of the tea as it darkens, and stop the infusion at the right time.2. It is very easy to clean. I just dump the tea leaves in the trash, and quickly rinse off the ones that stick to the infuser. It less messy than the traditional infusers or strainers that often rinse off poorly.3. The straining fabric at the bottom of the infuser is of high quality, and does not let through the small tea particles that break off from the leaves during transportation and handling.I was initially skeptical, but this infuser was cleverly designed, and I decided to give it a try. I do not regret it, and I highly recommend it to all loose-leaf tea drinkers. (Not needed if you use tea bags.)One suggestion to the manufacturer: add a scale to the infuser, so that the user easily knows how much liquid is being poured.

Does its job well
This tea maker is almost perfect. It’s a great price and definitely easy to use. As others have said it rinses out when using tea leaves easily and I’ve also used it for coffee as without problems.Ultimately I definitely recommend for anyone who loves loose tea by the cup and doesn’t want to pull out a whole brewing system or who thinks as I do that the little tea pods with the holes (sorry what are they called?) don’t allow for good water flow for steeping. It’s also big enough for a small pot of tea.I have only two mild observations that don’t amount to deal-breakers:Firstly, the tea maker filters into your cup, mug, tumbler, etc automatically when you place it on top of the cup and the feet, resting on the cup, push up into the maker allowing for the flow. (It seems other models have a manual lever you squeeze) I have many size cups, mugs and tumblers and not one of them is the same size as the tea maker platform that sits on the cup. The maker is always sitting to one side and not all the feet are “engaged.” While it works fine, and doesn’t leak or anything, I’ve found that shifting it from one side of the maker to the other helps it filter more completely. No biggie, but kind of weird. Curious what cup or tea pot it was made to fit exactly.Secondly, I like to add spices to my tea during the steeping, which is one of my reasons for purchasing this type of tea maker. The very fine filter gets a bit clogged when I add ground spices and is not quite as simple to rinse. As this is not the explicit intended purpose of the tea maker, I can’t fault it.The tea maker serves its purpose well and is a good value compared to others. I’d recommend it.

NO BALL BEARINGS! Works/looks great!
I purchased my first rapidTEA MAKER back in ’14, and liked it so much that I then bought the larger version. The only thing I didn’t like about those two was that the handle was glued in place (a different color from the clear pot itself) and when I dropped one, the handle popped off. Hubby glued it back on and I used that thing for over 5 years until it finally kicked the dust. When I went back to order a new one, I read a horror story or two about how it now had ball bearings under the screen filter, and that they’d fall out and it wouldn’t work anymore, so I just made do with my 32oz tea pot.Now I no longer want to drink 32oz of tea in the morning, 2 cups are enough, thank you very much (say my kidney stones ROFL) so I again looked at Tealyra, as I really loved my first two pots. And again, I read the horror story about the ball bearing found in the garbage disposer… and thought, the heck with it, if it doesn’t work well I’ll return it. Well, NO BALL BEARINGS!!! This is just like my first 2, only with one improvement… the handle is no longer a different colored plastic and seems to be an all-in-one molded unit. And IT WORKS FANTASTIC! I’m again enjoying my 2 cups of tea every morning, with no leaks, no ball bearings, and it still keeps my tea just right, temperature-wise. I really love this infuser, and I’m SO glad I decided to give it one more try! This makes a fantastic cup of tea, with either bags or loose leaf, and I’m totally pleased with this purchase! And remember… NO BALL BEARINGS! Either they changed the design, or the ball bearings are from another type of product!

Works great, with one flaw
This brews a nice large cup of tea and strains well. The mechanism is easy. Donât lose the base or you may have a harder time.My only complaint is that the lid doesnât prop open for loading it up with the tea. You have to hold it open. I would still buy this again though.

Works great
Love this little thing. It’s even better than my Tevana one. Cleans easily and seems very good quality.

Great way to steep loose leaf tea.
I make tea for my wife each morning as I make my coffee. This makes it super easy. Just pour in some tea add the hot water then let steep for as long as you like. It rests on small feet on the bottom. The bottom is designed to fit over a wide variety of mugs or glasses and when you sit it on the mug the tea is released out of the bottom. It comes with a small round dish that it will sit on to prevent drips onto the counter.

Fantastic strainer
I love this tea strainer. It’s fantastic for loose teas and doesn’t let any floaties into your tea. I highly recommend.The only things that are a little frustrating is that it does tend to get water stuck inside the strainer part, so you have to be really careful about how you wash & dry it, but frankly, that’s a minor issue. I store it upside down on the edge of the sink overnight, and that tends to get the last bits out either through gravity or evaporation. And the rim isn’t wide enough to work with a lot of the bigger mugs you get today, but that (again) is fairly minor because you can just push the rim yourself.

I’ve often been a traditionalist when it comes to loose-leaf tea: a teapot is the way to go. But, I saw one of these devices in use in an episode of ‘The Walking Dead’ and i was intrigued enough to look for one online. It turns out there are several brands to choose from but they all seem basically the same.Vasy to use: Open the lid, put the desired amount of loose tea directly into the bottom of the pot, add hot/boiling water, close lid, watch for desired depth of colour for strength, place pot over mouth of cup.If your cup is smaller than the pot capacity (c.500ml in this case) then you’ll have to lift the pot off to stop the tea flow. But if the amount of tea you’ve made is less than it will stop by itself.There is little or no drip when you lift the pot off, but a small plastic base is provided as a stand, and cleaning is easy. I tap out most of the soaked leaves into a bin and then rinse the rest out with water, pouring it over a piece of paper towel or a small strainer to capture the remaining leaves, rather than let them clog the drain. It’s at least as easy, if not easier than cleaning out an infuser basket.I have been very pleased with the taste of the tea from this machine. i’ve detected zero plastic taint from the BPA-free pot. Overall, I’ve found myself going straight for this rather than my teapot now, so that must be good.

Works great and worth the price. Iâve had this product for two weeks and havenât looked back. I like this product because you can make tea or coffee in it. I donât suggest fine powders to strain because they get in the holes apart from that 5stars.
