The Classic Tea Strainer is the best strainer ever-and I'ved tried most of them. No more burnt fingers!!! My mug is 4" across and this strainer has no problem fitting across the top-but will also work with a smaller cup. The handle does not get hot at all. I wish I could give it more stars. It has a silcone lid that doubles as a saucer for the strainer after stepping. It's very well made. This is a single serving tea strainer infuser. I put the strainer into my mug, measure out the tea and put in the strainer/infuser -when the water is at the right temperatue pour over the tea leaves in the strainer/infuser, steep. Perfect.

It works just fine, the lid flips over nicely to act as a coaster. However, don't hold onto the handle while tapping out used tea leaves. Also, don't press the lid on too tight. Otherwise the weak, spot weld for the handle will break. The wire handle should really wrap around to the other side, so its one continuous piece of wire. Since it broke off in the first month I had it, I was able to exchange it.

Bought this for my son for college and the handle snapped off within 4 months. Teas are great but now I'll be sure to save all receipts.
As other reviewers have noted, this is the Best Tea Steeper Ever(TM). Until the handle breaks. Then it becomes a very expensive holder for coffee stirrers. Bottom line: nice in concept, needs a redesign.
Pros
- Convenient
- Laser cut Infuser
Cons
- Cheap construction
- Weak
Best Uses
The infusing basket has defined laser cut holes to allow liquid but not tea particles to pass through.
DO NOT USE HANDLE TO TAP OUT USED TEA!
THE HANDLE WILL BREAK OFF!

After just about a month, the long side of the support/handle broke off this strainer when I tapped in on the side of the plastic trash receptacle to remove the used tea. THe welds appeared not to hold.
Used for 3 days/9 times when the handle broke while lightly emptying on side of a plastic garbage bin. Agree also that one piece around the rim would be more secure.
Pros
- Convenient
Cons
Best Uses
I broke my perfect tea maker trying to put it back together, so I opted to go this route and this infuser is so much more convenient. It did let a little of my oolong through but not bad at all! Great product
Pros
- Convenient
Cons
- Weak build
Best Uses
The design was noticeably practical when I picked it up at the store and it proved to be such. After less than two weeks time though, the handle hinged off the base of the weld and is in disrepair, waiting for return. I was hoping for as much durability as there was ingenuity in the idea, but fell short in the end. Hopefully they can sketch out a new idea from what they have and update it for a more reliable/solid build.

LOVED this product when I first got it. I have not misused it and have had it less than a month. Maybe used it about 15 times. I have only washed it once in the dishwasher (top shelf) according to the instructions. Normally just rinse it out. The long handle is very weak and looks like it will break any time now. Very dissatisfied with the quality. I will try and exchange it.
Pros

Best Uses
We bought this only a couple months ago and like all of our things, cared for it well and proper.
Yesterday morning when we went to use it, the longer of the two handles fell off. Typically we make whole pots of tea, so this strainer doesn't even get a lot of use!
I loved this until the handles both broke off. The welding is too weak. It's a great design that needs to be modified to endure its use.
