We love this for all our coffee. We never make a pot of coffee and this allows for single servings without having the expense of Keurig style coffee!

5.0 out of 5 starsGame-Changing Tea Infuser!I’ve been using stainless steel tea balls for years, but my latest one kept popping open when I stirred it in my hot lemon drink, spilling thyme everywhere. Frustrating! Then I found the Finum Reusable Stainless Steel Coffee and Tea Infusing Mesh Brewing Basket (Medium, Black) on Amazon, and it’s a total game changer.This infuser fits perfectly in my large tumbler or a standard cup, making it super versatile. Unlike the steel balls, it stays securely closed, so no more spills. The fine mesh holds everything in place, and it’s so easy to use—just tap out the used thyme, rinse, and it’s ready for the next brew. It’s durable, practical, and makes my tea routine effortless. Highly recommend this to anyone tired of flimsy infusers!

A well made tea/coffee infuser. I use this with a paper filter so it becomes easier to clean.

Item is good, helps remove the need for using tea bags.

Pratico da usare e trattiene anche i pezzi più piccoli degli infusi.

Great for traveling and camping

Perfecto filtra de lujo yo lo uso para desechar tambien las bolsitas de infusiones de supermercados que son toxicas. Y con esto la infusion no tiene ningun trocito de hierva. Lo comprare de nuevo

The “wings” are a bit short for my favorite mug but I can just sit it off to the side and it works just fine. I’m not even bothered because it’s absolutely fantastic! I was previously using an all-stainless steel strainer with less fine mesh from Adagio teas and had just accepted that I would always leave a bit of tea at the bottom of each cup with all the little floating bits that slipped through the holes. No longer! I’m actually shocked every time that I can just drink the whole cup!! This strainer only leaves the tiniest grain sediment that’s totally negligible and drinkable. I also purchased the floating version of this strainer (the one “with hat”) and I love them both!

I use this to brew tea in my cup. I can add the loose products I want, let sit 5 min and pull the tea, leaving me a nice cup. ( I tend to use large travel sized mugs to keep track of my water intake). I put fresh honey, ginger, and orange ( light on the peel so it doesn’t become bitter) in there and let sit. After 5 min, I remove and add lid. I have a delicious cup of tea that can go with me Highly recommend this. I also use the one with a lid that closes for brined meats. It works well as well.

Very nice tea brewer. The super fine mesh lets me make a cup of almost dust-like Ceylon tea without any of the tea leaves ending up in my tea cup. Perfect!

Its of good quality

Both of these one cup infusers are first rate, and reviews reflect that. But which is best for you? Is steeping convenience and easy cleanup most important, or do you prefer an infuser with gleaming industrial design that's a countertop showpiece? The Finum and Oxo both have their advantages. Read on to learn more:We've had all sorts of single cup infusers over the years, all with small annoyances. Recently, I came across the Oxo and was initially very pleased, believing it to be the best single cup infuser I'd ever found. As tea infusers go, it’s stunningly beautiful, Museum of Modern Art worthy, and its solid metal weave is tight so no tea grounds find their way into the tea. The Oxo sits confidently on any sized cup, and most importantly keeps my fingers from getting burned.But a week after getting the Oxo, I began to realize my sculptural gem had a growing issue for me. When shaking out the loose tea leaves, then rinsing under the faucet, a couple of leaves would always be left behind, inside the strainer. Because the mesh is solid, no pushing against it from the outside can help get the stray leaves out. Invariably, I eventually have to dip my index finger in to easily remove extra leaves.When I ordered the Oxo, I had also considered the Finum, the iconic single cup tea infuser that’s proven and well loved. It’s not as stunning, but is still plenty attractive, yet mostly utilitarian in appearance. So, I bought the Finum for a direct “cup to cup” comparison.Sure enough, the Finum is easier to clean. A stray leaf or two can sometimes also stick inside, but a rinse from the faucet from the outside in typically dislodges the leaves.The Finum’s mesh is flexible, and gold in color, but still solidly in place and not likely to become warped looking in time like some other, cheaper single cup strainers. Like the Oxo, its fine mesh keeps tea grounds from entering the cup.A thoughtful, favorite feature for both brands is the inclusion of the cover that doubles as a drip tray. The Oxo infuser sometimes sticks to it’s tray. Something about metal on metal adheres it temporarily but a quick rinse separates the pieces easily.The Oxo’s handles are a little wider and I never feel the heat when lifting off the top of the cup. Because the Finum is not as wide, depending on cup diameter, I can sometimes feel a little bit of heat when lifting it off the cup. But never a burn, and really not an issue.Also, I do get a little more dribbling sometimes from the Oxo and I’m not quite sure why. Less of those pesky occasional drops to wipe around the cup area with the Finum.I do not recommend the balls with chain, or the two piece spoon like infusers. Besides being a pain to clean, your tea leaves will not properly expand and taste will be affected.Thus, although I’m a freak for great design, and a designer myself, function over form wins out this time. I’m keeping the Finum. What a little gem!

I am new to loose leaf tea brewing, so I don't know how this compares to other products, but it works great for me. I use it to brew a cup at work - The medium size fits in my big 12-ounce mug with room to spare - I could have gone with the large. If you know what cup you'll be using it in, measure to get the best fit. It's not as easy to clean as a solid stainless infuser (like the one that fits my FORLIFE Curve 24-ounce teapot) because the tea leaves can get caught around the plastic ribs that give the infuser its structure.The lid makes a nice holder for the infuser when you remove it from your cup, making it neat and convenient to use - no extra dishes needed to hold the wet, dripping infuser.Before I buy, I tend to read all the reviews - paying special attention to any negatives that might cause me problems. For the price, I think this product is great!• It's big enough to give your tea leaves room to move.• It's compact and the lid/base keeps things neat.It's not as easy to clean as a single-material infuser would be, but it's not a big deal. I'd only deduct a 1/2 star for this, but I can only adjust in whole-star increments.
