Apace Loose Leaf Tea Infuser (Set of 2) with Tea Scoop and Drip Tray - Ultra Fine Stainless Steel Strainer & Steeper (Gold, Medium)

Brilliant thanks

The best tea/ coffee infuser I've ever bought or used, and it looks pretty snazzy as well. I love it.

Good quality, exactly as expected

Super, super, super....

I brought this so that I could start drinking loose tea and this does exactly that! I've had it for a while and haven't faced any problems with it.

I bought these tea infusers nearly 5 months ago. I've used them everyday since and absolutely love them. I buy loose leaf tea of the supermarket kind. Shocking, most of them are very fine but they brew a good cup if you get a decent quality tea in about 5 minutes and still have a bank account afterwards.I have a large mug, about 500 ml which I brew my tea in. I have a teapot but not for this type of fine tea.Using the diffuser I use a half teaspoon kitchen measurer that I just leave in the tea caddy with the loose leaf tea. I put three level measures of tea into the diffuser and fasten the lid on.A point to note. Whenever I close the lid to the diffuser bottom always make sure that there's a good stiff grip from the clips, there's three in the lid. Listen out for a small click. That tell you it's secure.If there is not a nice secure grip it's possible that the diffuser will come apart in the cup. Follow this you can't go wrong.The lid comes with a chain and at the end of it there's a hook. I place this over the side of the cup once I've dropped the diffuser into the mug. Now it's time from boiling water. I use water that just finished boiling boiling. Whilst pouring bubbles come out the diffuser and sometimes the diffuser vtips upside down. No worries.Once the waters in I unclip the hook from the side of the mug keeping the diffuser in the hot water, I give it 3 or 4 twirls around inside the cup. Then I clip the clip on the side of the mug again and let the diffuser rest in the water.5-minutes later I take up the clip and give the diffuser 2-3 bounces in the water. Job done you good to go.I use supermarket bought Yorkshire tea, and Assam tea, it is fine as dust but that's cos it's fine tea designed to brew quickly. The diffuser comes with a little tray thing that is very handy coz it keeps that dust off my counter and easy to tip into the dustbin.For cleaning I have a soft toothbrush that I use for cleaning the diffuser. I don't like to use soap with my teapots or equally so the diffuser. Simply cool running tap water and let the toothbrush and do the work inside the lid. Give the tea leaves a squeeze into the sink to remove some water left in the diffuser and then tip the used leaves it into the bin. Same thing cleaning the bottom. Then a quick double check that the holes and nice and clear. And set it to drain on the drainer.Milk two sugars please. And there you have it. One happy camper. Couple of doughnuts please and we're good to go.I highly recommend these if you like a good strong cup of tea that's not going to cost you an arm and a leg.Buy only advice is make sure those clips are nicely tight when you close the lid. The instructions clearly show you how to do it, I use my nail every now and again to squash them down very gently.Lovely item and so happy I brought it.A little sideline. The the diffusion does come tarnished from brewing the tea. They say that helps give a better brew as you break it in, similar to a teapot. However to bring it back to it's nice sparkly shiny silver look. I put a little bit of bleach into my tea mug and fill it with some hot water. An hour later I come back and everything plus the mug is lovely and clean again.As long as you rinse everything well with warm water. You will not have any after tastes.

Quite small hoĺes, very lightweight, plasticfeel although it's some kind of metal

Easy to use and looks attractive.
