Description of 🍵 Kikkerland Tube Tea Infuser

Elegant and eminently functional tea infuser. Four slender slits on the side that allow water to seep in. Handy infuser to enjoy the more pronounced taste. Clever design. Measures approximately .75 by 5-inches.

The robotic monkey just wants to please

Holds enough for a cup of tea and has enough openings to work effectively as a brewer. It's all metal and the levers turn. Seems well done. Its width at its widest point is about 1.5 inches. You can pull it out of the tea by hand. It has a small lock and the case can be opened. Auster (but it's also annoying when your grip slips and the thing slams, spilling tea leaves everywhere). Most importantly, how do you contradict something that looks like a robot that also looks like a monkey? not you…

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Big and bulky

fun and functional.

I liked this idea when I saw it on Revain. I bought 4 pieces, one for me and 3 for gifts. I love mine and use it all the time (it still makes me smile every time I use it). Everyone I've gifted one to loves theirs as much as I love mine. I've seen other people comment that their brewers miss loose tea and ruin their experience. I have not had this problem and have not heard such a complaint from any of the three people who received these robot spinners as gifts from me. Even if mine were…

Great concept - poor execution

Great concept. Love the design and the fact that it's glass with a beautiful wooden top. In theory it should work. However, there are about 2.5cm slits in the glass (I didn't measure), the list doesn't allow you to use all loose tees. It is recommended to be used with pearl teas, but pearl teas need a place to bloom that is too crowded to brew. You can also put just a few pearls in it and it might be nice if they could bloom and brew properly, but that doesn't happen because the water doesn't…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Very expensive

Great concept but too narrow application.

As advertised, this teapot only works with tea pearls or other large teas. Unfortunately, most teas on the market are not like this. I give them credit for touting the product as ideal for teas that don't need fine filtration like pearls, but I just can't understand the niche of this product. It is only effective when such a small amount of tea is brewed. I tried loose black tea in this teapot and it just made an undrinkable mess. At this point, honestly, it would have been better not to use…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • No Automatic

perfect tea infuser

The monkey is very cute. I have received many compliments. I used to have a tea filter. The chain gets tangled or snaps or the rim slips driving me insane. No more fuss. This monkey is good. I have to say that the arms fit better in a BIG 20oz mug, so the arms are too long for my regular mug. On the other hand, if you use a large 20-ounce mug, the water cools too quickly. I just rest my hands on the rim of the mug and let my palms hang over the mug. You can adjust the strength of the tea by…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Appearance

Loved it but now a little smaller

So cute! Just the right size for the right amount of tea. It takes some practice to get used to putting the lid on when it's full, but that's really the only major downside as it's a bit flimsy. Very little gets into the holes. It must be remembered not to over fill it and not to play with it too much while it is in the cup because then it will sink (because the air will come out). I love it, it's easy to clean too! ------ Okay, I posted this when I first got it, but I've found that things have
