Great little tea infuser this. Innovation where previously there was just tradition! A few very minor issues:
1. You need to get used to a slow pour to start as otherwise air can get trapped below the straining mesh and 'burst' the strainer out. This can be hazardous if tea leaves get lodged in the valve and prevent it from closing, allowing hot tea out, uncontrollably. This has happened to me, but shouldnt ever be a problem as you'll always have a cup handy.
2. Expect some tannin discolouration if you are not religious with handwashing. And damage to the mesh if you dishwash regularly.
3. Do not let visitors use it without a demo or explanation!
4. How do I make tea for 4? (Maybe a new product idea?) (Posted on 28/11/2009)

Great product and a nice volume of tea. Have just ordered number 2, one each for myself and my wife.
I agree with Jimbob though, a ceramic or metal one would be a nice idea. (Posted on 22/10/2009)

This would be great if I could only get it from my tea man. Anyway that could be done Mr Rinton??? (Posted on 10/09/2009)

This may be a tea infuser BUT it makes a great cup of coffee when you haven't got a cafetiere! (Posted on 01/07/2009)

First saw tea infuser in tapas cafe in whitley bay and bought myself one. Since then have bought 4 for gifts for people as it is "The Way to Make Proper Tea". What a great idea! Well done to the person who invented it! Goes even better with your Glass Mugs, never any spillages then! (Posted on 08/03/2009)

I love this item - was a little sceptic as it's made out of plastic and not glass, but can't taste plastic. The only fault - in my opinion is - you can't see how much tea is going into cup/mug, and it would be quite nice to have that measurement on the side of the teafuser as I've had a few spills!

First came across this in Crusoe's Cafe, Tynemouth and love it. Just had to have one and I am sure I will be ordering more for family and friends once they see it in use. (Posted on 09/01/2009)

This is a great little gadget if you are a connoisseur of leaf tea. The strainer is integral so it does away with having to use a separate tea strainer. I would like to have one in metal or china - just a suggestion! (Posted on 03/12/2008)

What a fab product I love it! Ordering a load for Xmas pressies now. (Posted on 05/10/2008)
