Reinmoson Strainers Infuser Stainless Threaded Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Love using this, super simple to use and even comes with a tray to put the infuser on after taking it out of the mug."
• "The hook on the end of chain helps me keep the infuser where I want in the jug."
• "Screw on top, and has a chain to hold or wrap around handle when steeping."
• "It's a simple device with a simple purpose; it delivers well, is easy to clean afterwards, and has a pretty design."
• "Their tops twist off easily, and rinsing tea leaves out of them is as easy as running water in them and shaking it out."
• "The lid screws on tight so the loose leave doesnt escape and the tray is super helpful keeping the infuser clean after it is taken out."
• "The screw off cap means tea leaves won't go flying because you didn't close it properly."

Cons:

• "Reason I purchased this item is because of the reviews stating leaf bits and particles dont seep through. Disappointed to see they did/do."
• "24 hours later I was unable to open the strainer."
• "The saucer fits the infuser a little too perfectly and there’s no extra room for the hook or excess liquid if you’re messy."
• "I quickly found that the screw-on lid is finicky."
• "The only thing I don't like about the strainer is that it flips over in the cup as you fill up with hot water, if you don't hold it up."
• "The problem is that the chain is too short. It is too easy for it to be pulled into the mug."
• "The container flips on its side unless I hold it with a spoon until the loose tea/coffee is saturated."

Quality and Design

Pros:

• "These tea infusers are great. They keep even the tiniest tea leaves or herbs in the infuser and not in your cup of tea. Great product for the price. Very happy with purchase."
• "It fits snugly in my favorite teacup, effortlessly catching even the tiniest particles."
• "Last tea diffuser lasted like 3 weeks and the metal broke. This is sturdy and excellent product."
• "These tea infusers are perfect for a cup of tea. The holes in the infuser make it look classy."
• "The construction is quite heavy duty for a tea strainer."
• "The tea Infuser are very durable."
• "The stainless steel is thinner than I was expecting."

Cons:

• "Bought a smaller one from a local kitchen store that the clerk picked out. 95% of the coffee grounds leaked out."
• "Yes, this item shipped from Amazon in a flimsy brown paper bag, otherwise it might have been a very nice tea infuser."
• "The infuser is very 'squishy'. The metal layer is thin and flexible, much like sheet metal."
• "The largest size is, by comparison, junk. The screw top 'creaks' loudly when manipulated."
• "I can say the metallic taste doesn’t go away."
• "They are very thin, and as a result can easily be dented or bent."
• "I bought this strainer specifically for the mesh so that the smaller bits in my loose leaf kept escaping my regular one. As you can see, this doesn't work as advertised with bits escaping and floating about."

Functionality

Pros:

• "The tea steeps perfectly without allowing sediment through to the cup."
• "I can even use the tea at the bottom of the bag without the worry that the dust, (tiny tea leaves), are going to escape the infuser and get into my tea."
• "The fine mesh does not allow any tea leaves to escape into my tea."
• "No debris goes through the infuser. I get the taste I expect."
• "I don't find bits of tea leaves in my tea when using one of these."
• "The fine holes make cleaning a breeze while allowing excellent infusion."
• "No lose tea ends up in your cup."

Cons:

• "However, this product does about the same and takes longer to soak. Still leaves inside."
• "The problem is, the holes are so tiny, the tea does not steep. After leaving the tea diffuser in my water bottle about 30min, I could not taste the tea, at all."
• "Make sure not to use too fine of grounds, because the fine grounds will leak though the holes and will get in the water."
• "However, there’s a small gap where the seam between the side and bottom meet that’s just large enough to allow some of the small leaves to escape."
• "Disappointed to see leaf bits and particles do seep through."
• "It did better than my old one but there was pieces of the tea mix floating in my water."
• "The sediment that gets into my tea is negligible, often none at all depending on the type of tea being brewed."
