2-Pack 304 Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball Infusers — 2.1 in
Product description
This package includes two spherical tea infusers and two small drip trays. Each infuser measures 2.1 inches across and is constructed from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a fine woven mesh for brewing loose-leaf tea or containing mulling spices.
To use, open the clasp, spoon in the desired amount of loose tea or whole spices, snap the halves closed, and hang the attached chain over a cup or pot rim. After steeping, place the infuser on one of the supplied trays to avoid wet marks on countertops.
The components are designed for repeated use; stainless steel resists staining and washing is straightforward by hand or in the dishwasher. The compact size is intended for single-cup brewing and for holding flavoring spices while simmering soups or stews.

DO NOT BUY! If you wanna turn off your cigarette in here it bubbles up not a goo 5/5

Alena 5/5
Sturdy and effective for loose leaf
I moved away from tea bags and these held up well—solid construction, a tight seal, and the mesh kept most particles contained. They performed reliably until misplaced during a move.

Tears of Cyanide 5/5
Works perfectly with my glass set
Ideal for my custom blends and glass teapot; the latch stays put and the chain hooks on securely while pouring. No issues so far.

Lou 5/5
Closes tightly, great for spices
Snaps shut firmly; I use one for bay leaves and whole allspice when making soups. Better quality than anticipated.

Murdock 3/5
Solid, but could use more perforations
Well made overall, but extra holes around the center would improve flow for mulling spices. I get why tea requires finer mesh.

Mitchell Geistkemper 4/5
Mesh is a bit too open
Cleans easily, yet the holes are larger than I prefer and allow small bits of leaf through, which can be annoying.

Good quality, minor chain issue
Materials are solid; the chain is slightly short and the clasp can be fiddly, but it doesn’t hinder brewing and I’m satisfied.

Garam Masala 5/5
Robust metal strainer
Nice stainless steel build. Expect a little tea dust in the cup—common with metal strainers but nothing major.

Erin Parsons 4/5
Great for fresh herbs, less for dried
Works nicely with fresh peppermint leaves, but dried herbs can shed small pieces—smaller mesh would help.
