NORPRO Tea Infuser Ball, 1 EA Review

It is almost impossible to separate the two halves after brewing tea. Don't waste your money and buy something easier to use. You can't see when the key and slot match, making it even harder to know when to actually pull.

It came quickly, the packaging is good. However, the manufacturing tolerances were poor and I couldn't open the two halves. I tried opening them with pliers and crushed half with holes. I just threw it away as it wasn't worth sending back. Not recommended for purchase.

An interesting design that looks like it belongs on a Christmas tree. Worked well the first time and was hand washed. Made a second cup of tea ok. Couldn't open it after the second time. , found a better design and threw the item away. It can make interesting Christmas decorations; but it's a lousy tea ball.

I bought two more to match the two I have. I make sun tea almost every day and it's great. It opens and closes easily if you are careful. I've been using it to make sun tea for almost 2 years. Still works great and I've ordered two more as gifts. Twice I had to grab it with a vise when it got stuck. Be careful and it opens and closes with ease.

Great for loose tea in a travel mug or other mug that won't fit a large tea ball. It doesn't rust or anything if you clean it immediately after brewing tea in it (I've never left it longer and never had a problem). And because the small holes are so small, the last sip of tea doesn't leave little "leftovers" as is sometimes the case with large sieves.

As I write this I am sitting with a cup of freshly brewed green tea thanks to the stainless steel Norpro tea infuser. I no longer have to settle for tea filtered through small paper bags. I no longer have to wonder how many trees have died to provide my family with cups of tea each day. The skies above are brighter, the air is cleaner and life is more comfortable since I started using the Norpro tee ball. Thanks Norpro.

Cannot be used. The instructions on the box say twist to open, but that's misleading. This is not a screw connection between the two halves, but a bayonet connection. There is a dent on one half that meets a dent on the other half. Unfortunately, a bad design left two dents on one half and a hole on the other. It just flips over and can't separate at all. I had to bend it to take it apart and then use pliers to smooth out one of the dents. I still have to work so hard to open it, loose tea is…
