3 Pack Mesh Snap Ball Tea Strainer with Handle for Loose Leaf Tea and Mulling Spices Stainless Steel Tea Infuser Tea Filter

We use these each day. Their spring loading is quite firm and they align when filling, meaning both halves come together nicely not allowing what you put in to escape.The filter size is good, meaning that the finest of tea leaves remain in the tea ball and not in the cup.We have used them for few months now and they remain in great condition.The only consideration is....Be careful how you store them as the tea ball metal netting will deform. They all do this and so we store ours upside down in a tea cup in the cupboard until needed, to protect the tea ball.Secondly, I use hibiscus leaves often, it can lead to a certain staining.I will place a tea ball in a weakened solution of bleach for a few hours and then THOROUGHLY rinse it many times, all stains have then gone.We use them for white teas, green teas, chopped ginger and hibiscus. Sometimes chamomile. They work great.These are wonderful, thick gauge metal and strong springs.Very much recommended.I hope that this helps you.

Excellent works well an they are well made value for money Recommended

Good design that is easy to use although a little annoying that I need to hold it open with one hand to put anything in it which sometimes requires both hand. The hole size is great, it is also good quality and dishwasher safe. I use it to add cloves and cinnamon (uncrushed) and it does the job well, allowing their flavour to come through (leave the item with the ingredients in it to brew in the hot water for about 3 minutes).All in all, really useful and good at what it does but could do with a little design enhancement for hand-free use.

Very good

3 out of 5. I didn’t want to spend much and they do function well enough. Buy it if you only care about cost. It’s size is good for making one cup of tea.It came as a pack of three; two worked, one was misaligned when closing leaving gaps for tea leaves to fall through. I got rid of the bad one and took a photo of one with only a small gap so you can see what I mean when I say misaligned leaving gaps.I hadn’t been using it very long before the metal started oxidising. I washed them by hand and immediately wiped them down with a towel and left to air dry fully before putting them in the drawer. It’s not a severe problem, but it happened quickly. The metal isn’t thick or sturdy enough to use steel wool to brush away rust, so if that bothers you, don’t buy this.I’m still using them, but I wouldn’t buy them again if I eventually want to replace these.

handy for quick cup if you're not bothered about the odd leaf, work well and small enough for most cups

These are great they are sturdy and well built they keep the tea intact and ensure a great tea is made.They are value for money and will last a very long time. They are a perfect size for a perfect brewm

Inexpensive and 2 of the 3 are good. The 3rd doesn't always close well, meaning lots of tea leaves in the cup.
