Review on ☕️ Yoassi Large Capacity Tea Infuser Strainer with Double Handles - Extra Fine 18/8 Stainless Steel Mesh for Steeping Loose Leaf Tea and Coffee in Teapots, Mugs, Cups by Josh Thompson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Balanced criticism: good and bad

Good. The best part of the tea infuser is its top. I like that it's all stainless steel. My other brewer has a silicone interior at the top that is exposed to the rising steam, hitting it and then falling back into the tea. I have to flip the lid over every time for condensation to collect on the stainless steel side only to have the silicone last for years due to this condensation problem. The top of this Yoassi device is also very tight to the vessel. Also, I like the handles which my other doesn't have to fit a wider cup. Poorly. Luckily, my favorite cup has a very narrow top, so I'm sure the heat will stay on as I pour the tea. My old block could accommodate narrow and regular sized cups without heat loss. This regular cup-sized block has room on the rim because it's too narrow. There are also concerns about the ultra-thin design of the container. A strong muscular arm can fold it when washing hands? To illustrate this, I can press the bottom with my finger and it will fold in and out. Will it last as long as my first ship which I have had for many years and is very strong? Without holding your breath.

Pros
  • Tea accessories
Cons
  • The price that breaks the piggy bank
