Review on White FORLIFE Brew-in-Mug Tea Infuser with Extra-Fine Filtering and Lid by Barbara Bailey

Like many here I have had many tea infuser and they always clog my kitchen. Now I can finally throw them away - this infusor makes them obsolete. It's hard to add to the other positive reviews how much I love this product - it's great. I would like to add that it has a wonderful finish that I don't often see in kitchen utensils. The quality corresponds to my Microplane grater. The FORLIFE brewer is not a sieve brewer in the usual sense. Instead, it appears smoother, more like very thin sheet metal with holes than mesh. Imagine banging on a good piece of steel mesh and you get the idea. It's also a thinner sensor than your regular infusor and I now find a lot less dust on the bottom of the cup than ever before. Please note: All brewers leak some tea. You have to or you won't get tea. One of the joys of real loose leaf tea is drinking it the way it's meant to be. This teapot has thin holes on the sides and bottom that let just the right amount of tea through. Genmaicha creates more dust due to the fine green finish, Oolong less because it is larger and "more pleasant". That too is the crux of the matter. FORLIFE allows you to store just the right amount of content in and out of our mugs. As for brewing coffee, you can, but I wouldn't do it unless you like gritty joe; Your French Press is slightly thinner than this brewer and will work better. FORLIFE also goes well with most of our mugs and is a great design piece. I love good craftsmanship and this tea strainer is an example of that. It is made of high quality stainless steel and the lid is made of high quality silicone which, when turned upside down, is a drip tray for the strainer. The only downside is that it's not as easy to clean - tea tends to stick to the inside more than other brewers, requiring more rinsing. However, this is only evidence of its effectiveness, so this is not a minus, but just an observation. I'm buying another one to take to work. I'll probably buy more later. It's hard to think of a more thoughtful gift than one of these little beauties with a pretty tea pattern. Take one - you will be amazed. Cheers.
