So simple but so needed!,
Why didnt someone come up with this before!!?? Works with loose teas and bag teas. I am trying to be more of a tea drinker….this will help quite a bit. Actually “plunging/squeezing” the tea is what makes this so genius. Holes are quite small so you wont be getting large particles in your tea.

Almost perfect,
This is definitely one of the better cup infuser’s I’ve owned. It works just as described. It has an attractive green cover and is easy to clean. The only problem is that only one side of this infuser is mesh. The other side is plastic like the rest of the shell with holes. So when using loose tea , debris does go through those holes and end up in my cup. But it depends on the type & size of loose tea I use. Still at least it leaves less debris than my previous infusers. If both sides had the fine mesh it wouldn’t leave any debris and would be better. That’s the only thing that keeps me from buying a few more of these. But I am not unhappy with my purchase either.
If they ever make this in metal instead of plastic and make both sides mesh I go and get 4 more of them as I drink an insane amount of tea. But with a product that’s only “almost” perfect one is good enough. It has replaced my previous infuser.
Update: My friend introduced me to the toby tea-boy infuser which unfortunately isn’t sold on amazon. It’s kindof like this infuser only it doesn’t have the fancy plunger and BOTH sides are fine mesh so NO DEBRIS- no matter how small your loose tea is cut. So now the Toby has replaced this infuser for me. I really wish this had both sides mesh because the plunger is really useful to stop tea waste. Hopefully they’ll change this.

Gets stuck, falls apart,
I had three big issues with this infuser:
1. The holes are large and let tea particles through
2. The lid gets stuck and takes a knife to get it open
3. The knob on the end pops off
Good idea, but poor execution. Pick a different infuser.
