Even better than my glass infuser!

Date:May 17, 2010
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Functional, Stylish, Easy To Use
"I have used my glass infuser and the T-Sac infusers MTL sells but this one is the best for me. I can easily scoop the requisite amount of tea into the infuser, place it into my kettle (after the water has boiled), let it steep and then take it out and turn it upside down. Easy to clean too. The infuser splits in half. I shake out the used tea, wipe off the infuser, done!
Thank you MLT for offering this product.

I should have listened to the review...

Date:May 14, 2011
Pros: Easy To Use
"Much larger than expected... While it's a great infuser for a large vessel (just like the explanation states), I had hoped hat it would be small enough to fit inside my thermos. Not so.
But, for just a cup of tea or a carafe, it's great.
I wish they had a life size photo...
It's so easy to clean!"

Awesome and Great Price

Date:January 11, 2011
Pros: Durable, Functional, Easy To Use
"I needed something to use at work for my loose tea but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I went off of the recommendations made by other customers and I am so thrilled that I did. This is easy to use, easy to clean and I don't have the dust in the bottom of my tea that you get with mesh infusers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!"

Best Uses: Morning
Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast

very awkward

Date:June 18, 2010
Cons: Difficult to use, too large for a teaot
"This tea infuser doesn't really fit into a teapot. It's taller than a standard 6-cup teapost and I couldn't get the lid back on the pot. It's very awkward to use and the plastic sides don't fit tight enough so that some of the tea leaves escaped. I really should have returned it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. There are probably better infusers on the market."

Works fine but..

Date:January 14, 2010
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Functional, Easy To Use, w/b nice to have a non-removable top., maybe attach it with a string or plastic cord.
Cons: too easy to loose lid
"Excellent dispersion of tea, easy to wash, and too easy to loose the lid. Would love to get a replacement lid somehow."

Perfect for Travel Mugs

Date:December 2, 2009
Pros: Functional, Easy To Use
"Love this in a travel mug! Float it in the top for the recommended steeping time, remove, and off you go. The no-drip design (when you remove from the vessel, turn upside down) allows you to clean later if you wish - just set it on the counter or in sink. I love it!"

Describe Yourself: Stylish

Perfect for tall mugs or Glasses

Date:February 11, 2009
Pros: Durable, Functional, won't rust
"This Infuser works well with many of your newer teas that come in large chunks. I look forward to using it in a carafe when company comes. Love the way it totally opens so that any residue can be cleaned out. I can add a little tea just for myself or enough for a carafe. Glad I finally rescued it from the back of the drawer"

buyer beware

Date:May 19, 2008
Cons: not practical; too large for general use
"i purchased this upon advice of the mighty leaf tea consultant, who did not accurately describe it. it cannot be used in a small teapot or in a thermos, which is where i wanted to use it. The size is unwieldy making it almost useless."

PERFECT FOR MAKING LARGE POTS OF TEA

Date:May 15, 2008
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Functional, Stylish, Easy To Use, perfect size
"Every morning my husband or I make a large pot of Gren Tea Tropical for the day - we like to drink it iced (we live in Texas!). When we discovered the large plastic infuser, it was "love at first sight." We had been using a large metal herb infuser that we got at a local store, but the plastic infuser is much more durable! Thanks, Mighty Leaf, for carrying such useful products to use in preparing your wonderful teas!"

Easy Breezy !

Date:November 18, 2007
Pros: Easy To Use, Functional, Stylish, High Quality, Easy To Clean
Cons: Wish it came in cup size
"We use the infuser at home to brew a medium sized pot for two or a large teapot for company. In the office we can brew a whole carafe for up to 10 cups The infuser is hinged and opens flat for ease in cleaning.
The only con is that it is not yet available in a single cup size!"
