Review on ๐Ÿต Enhance Your Tea Experience with Prepworks by Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball by Jason Valencia

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Pay as little as possible for it

The product is one of 10 designs for making tea from tea leaves or crushed leaves. Sellers at prices of $2.50 (approximately) delivered the price at $5.00 or more. But after using it a few times, I felt like it wasn't worth $2.50 with shipping included. The reasons are: 1. The clasp that keeps it closed has several problems. It won't close if the two parts of the ball aren't perfectly aligned, and that doesn't help align them. If there is tea near the clasp, it will not close. If the wire (1) prevents the shutter (1) from closing, it is assumed that the wire is used to extract the bullet, but in fact it does not work. Because even though it has a catch, it won't stay on the side of the mug unless you're using fine china to fish it out with a spoon or fork. ADVANTAGES - Everything is stainless steel except the rivet on the wire. I'm a little surprised, but that's all. CONS - Using a ball to heat/warm/add heat in the water is fine, but the wire will get hot and you'll remember it if you touch it. (Note that the only reason not to heat metal in a microwave oven is that there is no other material like water to absorb the energy waves. However, if the dimensions are small enough (e.g. links on a wire, they will). absorb microwaves, and the wire heats up. Here are ways you can do it. Same for less or better. Make your own with a funnel and a nylon stocking. When you strain the tea through the stocking will catch the tea and the funnel will catch it making sure it comes in per cup price = free (o) just saying it's hardly a working product caution last point if the clasp breaks there won't be any Possibility of keeping the 2 halves closed and thus it is lost... The clasp is held very firmly by the rivet and from my experience in the sciences working with metals it seems about 50 to to be twists and I can assume the rivet just breaks... able to fix it. Most will throw it out and spend atit $3 (roughly). Why waste money at all?

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
