Review on Norpro 5504 Stainless Strainer 2 Inch by Elizabeth Smith

Bought to brew chicory. It arrived on time, which I can only say positively. It arrived almost crushed in its retail packaging. The clasp holding the two halves together was weak and bent when I tried to snap the halves together. Although it should work. I was able to put the clasp back on. Worst of all, when the chicory was brewed, half of the chicory leaked into the drink through the two halves that didn't close flush because the "loop" wasn't holding the two halves tightly together. I threw this useless flimsy teapot in the trash.
