I've never seen a tea leaf in a cup of my tea. It is crystal clear.... much appreciated and enjoyed.

My graduate students from China or Taiwan frequently bring me tea; wonderful loose teas. The Tevana Tea Maker encourages me to use them all. I feel I am healthier for having this product in my house.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I bought this after seeing it demonstrated in a store. It is the easiest way EVER to use loose leaf tea. Makes it super simple and is extremely easy to clean. Showed my mother and now I am on the website to purchase one for her. Thank you for this product!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Love this product because tea particles stay in it and not in your cup. Great gift!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I happened into one of the Teavana stores and bought some tea. When I got home I found that all the tea infusers I had didn't work with the loose tea. They all leaked into the cup of tea. So I looked on the Teavana website for something else and came upon this product. I absolutley love it! It is easy to use and clean. None of the loose tea leaks into my cup of tea. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I found that someone had used my Perfect Tea Maker and left their tea in it. The tea sat wet long enough to require a deep cleaning. After realizing you can't disassemble it to clean, I came up with another way to clean under the screen. I used my Waterpik to blast it clean with vinegar (the Waterpik flows better now too) and then ran a few pots of boiling water through it to get the vinegar out. Good as new!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

It is easy to use & easy to clean. Simply rinse with water and occasionally fill with hot soapy water with a hint of bleach for a couple of minutes.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

First off, this thing is great. It's an ideal container for leaves you can brew more than once. The only thing I think could improve it would be a way to secure the stand piece. I drink my tea at work and like to take the maker home each night. After spilling leftovers a few times I just put a rubber band on it and it travels better. If you like their tea this is a must have!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I put my Tea Maker into the dishwasher for the first time and now it has gunk under the mesh filter that does not come out. There is no way to clean under it. GROSS!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

What I like best is the fact that you can brew one fresh cup at a time, so its always hot and never bitter.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Best and easiest thing out there for your money. Simple and efficient way of making a cup at a time.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I have had this product for about 3 years now and I am just as happy today as I was when I bought it. I think it is the most simple thing to use when making tea! I have gotten my family hooked on it and all my friends because of how easy it is and how great the tea is afterwards. I hate cleaning it though since it is a little difficult, but that didn't stop me from buying myself another one and a 32 ounce one! If you drink a lot of tea I would recommend the bigger one otherwise for this one the whole thing can fit in one oversized mug.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

The product works just fine. The problem is you better not run it in the dishwasher. The food and debris from the washer will become trapped under the screen (between the screen and the plastic guard on the bottom that does NOT come off). The tea is placed above that screen. You will forever strain dishwasher debris along with your tea if you don't hand wash it!!!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I loved the product for the first week I used it (daily) then suddenly it would not hold water but leaked from the bottom before you could get it near the cup. Even when it sat on its little platform it leaked. I washed it by hand..never in a dishwasher. It did not fall or experience any hard knocks. So disappointed.It was the first one like it I ever used.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I love tea and even more, I love Teavana. However, I'm disappointed that the tea makers are so difficult to clean, making the tea tastes bitter - which is never a good thing. I give it a high rating because aside from this little flaw the tea maker is perfect. It's convenient and incredibly easy to use.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

The Perfect Tea Maker is amazing! I love this product, it is so simple and easy to use as well as easy to clean. Can it get any better than that? I actually turned my husband on to tea recently and showed him how to use the Perfect Tea Maker and he was hooked, so he went out and bought his very own to use at work.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

My fiance bought this for me because my infusers were basically pieces of junk and left a lot of floaters in the tea. I used to only drink tea occasionally because of this, I now drink at least a cup a day. I really like this infuser, it's easy to clean and convient for making one cup at a time.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

this is a great product- these little tea maker cups are great!
i've had mine for about a year and it still works fine. i just hand-wash and air dry since i use it at work. everyone wants to know what i have when i walk around with it while its brewing. they think i'm weird with my "fancy" tea, but they're used to me now. :)
i think the size is just perfect- i usually have a really large mug so 16oz is great. i just heat up my water in the mug, then pour it in to steep. (and then walk with a mug and the maker back to my area.) i then just strain my tea right back into my mug when it's ready and i'm set- no fuss with measuring water or anything.
i didn't get mine from teavana- i got mine at a little local health food store for a few bucks less- but i saw these at my teavana store and its seriously, exactaly the same- except the logo! :)
now i can tell people to just get one from here- its much more trendy and fancy for the people who are scared of little granola stores!
now i want a big one for at home!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I have one of these at home and one at the office. I love how they work, allowing the leaves to expand fully, producing an excellent cup of tea. But as others have mentioned, they're difficult to clean. Another issue I've had is that because the lid doesn't come off I can't get the tea maker under the spout of the fancy coffee maker/hot water dispenser at work, so I can't dispense hot water directly into it. I have to fill my mug up with water and then pour it into the tea maker, inevitably spilling some on the floor in the process.

And the biggest problem is that after a couple of months of everyday use, the tea maker has started to leak onto the coaster while the tea is steeping. It keeps getting slightly worse over time, and I think eventually this won't be usable. I'm not sure if I will replace it with another one or with something else.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Wonderful product!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Worked really good for making a cup of tea. But the leaves retained water, so not all of the water emptied. How to you get the tea leaves out?

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

very easy to use. I should have ordered the 32oz size and I end up making two cups

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I love this product and have recommended it to all of my family and friends! It's fun to use, easy to clean up in the sink (just run hot water through it) and makes a great mug of tea every time! I find it works great when used with a beer mug! (just the right size). I like to put blueberries and the raw rock sugar in the mug and let the steeped tea flow right on in. It leaves me with an extra treat when the tea is all gone!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I received this as a gift from our oldest daughter and I can't at this moment think of a nicer. more functional gift that reminds you of the giver for years to come. The Earl Grey Creme tea that she included with it was a nice treat to learn this (new to me) process for making tea at a hotter temp than I had been using. I appreciated the learning that was available in the package on other teas and how to really bring the best out in teas of all kinds. It does require a minimal amount of coordination, but far less as you get used to it. I haven't dropped mine, but wouldn't really expect it to do well in that type of ":test". It definitely has made tea preparation (which was always a means to an end) MUCH more fun and now part of the total enjoyment! I'm in today to get a perfect tea maker for my sister's birthday!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

My husband bought this and I thought he was nuts. Tea in a bag is just fine...that's what I thought until he bought the tea maker. It really is a great invention. It works wonderfully and my husband loves to pull it out and impress people with his "tea making skills." :)

I highly recommend the Earl Gray Creme Flavored Black Tea. We entertain quite a bit and whenever we offer Earl Gray people always say "I don't like Earl Gray", but the second they try it they fall in love with it. It's now the first thing people ask for when we offer them a drink...

Today I'm buying the small tea maker and 1/4lb of tea as a teacher gift.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Simple to use and it works. The only problem is that I should have got the bigger one. But this works just like the video on the website. I also got the glass 16 OZ mug they used on the web site.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

My husband received this as a gift three days ago. We were thrilled and have had several cups of perfect tea since. The concept is wonderful and the tea is delicious but... I wanted a cup this morning and when I pulled it out of the cupboard, it slipped out of my hand. When it hit the floor, the little ball that keeps the liquid in dislodged. It cannot be repaired and customer service's response was basically "too bad, so sad, buy a new one". I will replace it this one time because I feel terrible that I broke my husband's birthday present, but I will not use it, I will have him take it to the office. I will shop around and see if I can find something sturdier for my own use.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Works amazing. I love this product. I always drank the tea in a bag. Never again will I do that.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Use this product 3 to 4 times a day. It is the most efficient device I have found, and I shop alot. I will be buying the 32 oz size for summer to make iced herbal tea.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Makes the perfectly strained cup of tea! I use mine every day and it keeps the tea leaves from filtering through to my tea. I love it and would recommend it to anyone!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I found that since I can use the tea leaves more than once I dont dump it out every time I use it. I bought two small glass dishes with plastic lids If my husband wants a different flavor I put my tea leaves in the dish cover it and put them in the refrig....a wonderful teavana sales clerk gave me this idea. The leaves taste just as good when you take them out of refrig to use. I dont keep them more than a day but it makes it easy to keep the tea leaves safe if you arent going to brew tea from am to dinnertime also

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

nice for the morning cup of tea. it's just a little too big.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Love the concept BUT I don't consider it dishwasher compatible. They need to make the lid removable in order to place it in the dishwasher for cleaning. Other than that, it's perfect!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This PERFECT gadget got me off coffee completely! I've always enjoyed hot tea, but did not like the tea balls or loose tea spoons as leaves always seem to seep into the tea.

After reading several of the reviews, I have to comment on a couple of points. First - you should get 2-3 cups of tea from 1 - 1.5 tsps of tea. No need to clean out your tea leaves after every cup. That makes this tea VERY economical. Second - with regards to cleaning - it's just tea stain ! Ever looked inside a stainless coffee pot ? That's worse than the stain on the strainer of this teamaker. I make so many cups fo tea throughout the day, I just run hot water thru it - no soap as I don't want soap residue in my tea - I do on accasion run it thru the dishwasher.

I keep one at home and one at the office; and I bought the stainless travel tea thermos/mug - GREAT for when I travel and want to take my teas....a space saver vs carrying the tea maker.

Such a wonderful product. I have given MANY as gifts - and now I can give the tea/cannisters. Everyone is always so thrilled to receive a new tea blend.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I was turned onto Teavana yesterday by a friend of mine. I got this tea maker and took it to the office with me today. It's wonderful!

Not only can you watch the tea develop but it's fast and easy. No mess and pretty easy to clean up if you scrape the leaves out once you've finished with them first.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I was new to tea when I received this tea maker as a gift. It is easy to use and quick. It does one serving at a time which is exactly what I need it for. This device has turned me from a person relatively new to tea to someone who knows alot and enjoys alot of tea. The only problem I have with it is that parts of it can be hard to clean especially after using it with rooibus tea due to the residue it leaves. However this has not caused any problems and should not hamper anyone from purchasing one.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This is the greatest invention ever!! 5 stars. Makes a perfect cup of tea. You can either make two-eight once cups or one-sixteen once cup depending on what size mugs you have. This product is so much better than the old fashioned tea balls that can occasionally seep out tea leaves into your mug.

I've noticed some of the other reviews have stated that it is difficult to clean. All I simply do is throw it down my drain (which has a garbage disposal) and rinse it out multiple times until all the tea leaves are gone. Once a week I fill it with warm, not hot, soapy water and use a non abrasive sponge to clean the interior and exterior. Thus far that has been working marvelously for me. No messy clean up here.

I would strongly recommend this product to all where are tired of having floaties in their tea from the tea balls.

BOUGHT THIS FOR MY MOTHERS SO THEY COULD ENJOY TEA AS MUCH AS ME

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I love this tea maker!!! I like hot tea, but I really love iced tea. I struggled to get a good cup with tea leaves...it would get so messy...this is perfect. It actually puts me in a good mood when I pour my perfect cup of iced tea. I love the tea: Acai/Blueberry & Pomegranate/Apple/Lemon. Love Love Love it!!!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I like this teamaker, it is easy and simple, you can see the leaves unfurl and the tea develop and it keeps EVERY leaf out of your tea. The only thing that is wrong with it is that the filter does not come out. It is harder to clean it and get all the LITTLE bits of tea out. But as that is my only objection 4 little teavana symbols for this product!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Loved it at first but now it overflows every time I use it. Salesperson told me that it had an automatic shutoff so it would not overflow...but it does. So keep an eye on it or use a very large cup.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I have had the Perfect Tea Maker for over 6 months now and I LOVE it. I have it in my office and make an average of 2 cups a day, 5 days a week. As far as cleaning, I just make sure I dump the leaves immediately after brewing, rinse it out under hot water, and let it air dry with the cover open. No problems at all.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I have had the Perfect Tea Maker for almost a year now. I use it almost everyday and rinse it out right away, and it goes in the dishwasher sometimes. I do take the lid off, so I'm not sure why everyone says it doesn't come off. There is some build up in the bottom, but not mold. I was sad this morning when I used it. The tea came out super fast along with some of the leaves. I guess it's time for a new one.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I absolutely adore the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker! I have the 16 oz size and it makes the perfect cup of tea. It is innovative, easy to clean, and a great conversation piece. My colleagues love it and have bought their own. The Perfect Tea Maker and Teavana tea leaves have helped me to meet my required 8 glasses of water per day without much effort. I feel so good inside and my skin is radiant!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I use this product often. I need to buy more loose tea so I can use it all the time. It is not necessarly hard to clean, just more effort then throwing away a tea bag.

I would get this for anyone who like loose tea!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This is TRULY the perfect tea maker! I use it when I'm away from home and I don't have access to my tea pots. I love it!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I use it every day. Very easy to use, no mess, no fuss, fast, efficient its just the best tea maker I've found. Not a thing wrong with it, and I've been using mine for over a year. I just hope they don't stop making them in case I ever need another one.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This little item is what I contribute to my switching half of my office from coffee drinker to tea drinkers!

Every day I take this into our coffee room to get hot water, a new person stares at amazement and insists I show them how it works.

It never fails: "Ooooh!" "Wooow!" "Cool!"

They ask where I got it, how good it works, how much it cost, etc etc.

Guess it works; I've seen 3 people in the dept next to ours with new Perfect Tea Makers!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

If you are ever considering a change to the design in the future, maybe a lid that can be removed. For two reasons, one is so you can get your hand in to clean it without having to hold the lid open the other is so that it can be placed under a single cup coffee maker for adding the perfect temperature water. Other than that I love it.

My wife and I recieved this product and tea as a gift for Christmas. I am now hooked. Took it to work to show friends how simple and convenient and now they are researching this magical device. The tea that accompanied the maker was outstanding as well. Is this addictive? Should I seek counseling? Great thanks

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I never knew why every time I went into the store they told me that I should get the Perfect Tea Maker but once I got it, I tasted the perfection of the tea. It was amazing...the best tasting tea of my life!! I just bought the Perfect Tea Maker today and I've already had 6 cups of tea. It is quick and easy and is truly a masterpiece invention!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I was trying to get my husband off of his drinking 5 cups of coffee in the morning. While he didn't see anything wrong with downing a gallon of coffee with 3 pounds of sugar in it, I did. He recently caught pneumonia and couldn't drink coffee for about a month. For 4 weeks I served him tea, no sodas, no coffee, just tea. He fell in love with the Moroccan Mint green tea. I Finally dragged him into the store and had him try the Moroccan Mint that Teavana sells, and he adores it. For the ease of making tea I bought him the perfect tea maker. It has made a splash at his office. EVERYONE wants to know how it works. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. My husband has been coffee free for 8 weeks!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This product is great because I can put it in the dishwasher to clean it. In between cleanings, just rinsing it with water and letting air dry makes this product so simple to use. The filter is amazing and works on practically any kind of loose tea. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This is a great product for making good tea fast and easy. Perfect answer for a perfect cup of tea at work - NO MESS! Only wish this was available in glass (don't like using plastics for hot drinks due to leaching.)

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I love this little tea maker. I bought one for myself and my husband, he seems to love it too.
The solution I found to the mold issue that a few people have described is just to rinse the maker out with water after use and leave the lid open. With the lid open the air circulation creates more of a dry environment where mold doesn't seem at least so far, to grow.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I use the Teavana every morning at home and I'm thinking about getting one for work as well. It allows plenty of room for the tea to expand and extremely convenient to use. The one downside is that is difficult to clean, specifically if anything gets into the space at the bottom around the metal filter. I once left the Teavana out with tea inside over several weeks and found that fungus had taken over the bottom of the tea maker. After struggling with soap and water for days with no avail, I finally solved the problem by soaking the Teavana in a dilute bleach solution. It completely dissolved the mold. While I wouldn't recommend this for everyday cleaning due to the potentially corrosive effects of bleach, it does work to save a badly contaminated Teavana. Dumping out the tea after use and giving a quick rinse should prevent this problem from happening.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I can now brew tea on the go, including at work! Most teas give me horrible heartburn, but I can now enjoy your luxurious, non-acidic teas wherever I go, w/ ease. And the brewing cup is so unique!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This is my new favorite thing! Just add boiling water and let it steep...place it on top of your favorite mug or tea cup and let the tea come through. Excellent product!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I love this product! Everyone else says how hard it is to clean....I have not found this to be ture at all. I rinse it out as soon as I get done using it and that works great. Just like anything, if you wait to clean it, the harder it is to clean. Makes a perfect cup of tea!

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Needs to be redesigned so that it is easier to clean.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

Bought it, used it, loved it, cleaned it. If you leave any tea in it for more than 24 hours, watch out for mold. Eventually it will get underneath the screen, and you will have to take it apart as much as it can be. The way I got to the stuff in between the ball bearing and the screen, was to use a bent paperclip and go in through the opening where the bearing is. Kinda hard to do, and if you aren't careful, you could poke a hole through the screen, so bend the end of the paperclip to make a little hook, and just scrape it gently. I also used compressed air, like the stuff you use to clean computer keyboards, and that worked pretty well. If you get in the habit of tossing out the tea after each use, and rinsing the Tea Maker thoroughly, it should last a while.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

i had the 16 oz.. just got the 32oz and find that i'll use that size more and make a 64oz pitcher of iced tea in the morning and drink the whole day.. i'm not as tempted to grab for anything else. Prefer a t-pot style (porclain) or my new cast iron t-pot (i LOVE) for making hot tea.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

When I first bought this, I loved it (still do to a certain extent). It is easy to use and it makes a great cup of tea. I came to the website to find out how to disassemble it to clean it properly and I see that you can't. Yes, you can pop it in the dishwasher, but as other reviews have stated, there winds up being a buildup of tea/mold that cannot be cleaned from the unit. Eventually you toss and get a new one. [$]

the best i have tried

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I brought this tea maker home and quickly fell in love with it. As time went on though I noticed there was pieces of tea sticking underneath the mesh strainer and the plastic bottom. Since there is no way to take this apart I have had a rough time cleaning it. There was even mold growing under the strainer the last time.... now I'm afraid to use it again. I do think the design needs to be worked on so it is easier to clean.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

This is a great product. It is very easy to use and works great. I was under the impression due to the packaging that it came with the mug, however the entire unit is fantastic. The lid and filter are not removable but it is still easy to clean out after using.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I have but one problem with this tea maker. It is that when you brew a cup of tea in it, inevitably there will be a small amount of wet tea leaves in the bottom between the plastic and the mesh. This is a big design flaw. As it does not allow for proper cleaning. I realize that it will mean that inevitably you will sell more of these makers but once a person realizes that they can buy a nicer tea maker and keep it for a long time they will stop using theses. Besides you will make a better product if the filter can be taken out and cleaned periodically. Thank you for your time.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

A very dear friend gave me a Teavana starter kit while I was recovering from the flu this winter. What a healing gift! I have used it nearly everyday since and it truely does make the perfect cup of tea. I just wish the filter could be removed for a better cleaning, that aside I will never use bags or a tea infuser again.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I have the larger tea maker (I think 32 oz) It is perfect to make tea in the morning and fill my thermos. I was afraid the tea would get bitter, if it sat in a thermos. Not so! It's perfect all morning and into the afternoon, if it lasts that long.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I'm really enjoying this. Functional, simple, easy to clean, stores tea that can be used for more than one steep, and no tea flotsam in my cup! I'm thrilled, and just hopeful that it stands the test of time (I've only had it about a week).

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I use my Perfect tea maker all the time I just love it. It is so easy to use and make a perfect cup or more of tea rvery time. You should get one and just try it.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

The only problem that I have with the tea maker is that it started leaking after a few months of easy use. I rarely put it in the dishwasher, so I'm not sure what started the problem. Also, I wish that the bottom portion could be taken apart and cleaned, some of the finer teas had sediment that got stuck under there and I couldn't get it out, so it tries to get moldy.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

I love both my teamakers, but I take this one camping with me. I LOVE its ease and convenience.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Perfect Tea Maker (16oz.):

My wife used only teabags because her teamaker was so cumbersome to use for just herself. This is perfect for her when she is making only a cup for herself and is so easy to use. Makes great tea! The only thing that would improve it would be if the lid removed for easier cleaning.
