CamelBak Tea Strainer Accessory, Stainless Steel

This is definitely a great tea strainer for the everyday tea enthusiast. My father-in-law uses it in his ceramic thermos everyday and it keeps the tea leaves contained and well-steeped.The strainer is easy to remove from the thermos due to the handle, allowing you to be able to empty out the contents and wash thoroughly. It hasn't stained or rusted which is a huge plus. It is easy to use and has a great design which fits most standard thermos without causing any leakage.Overall, a great product for a reasonable price.

Great purchase. I use the top as an ice strainer. No more ice in my face while I’m trying to drink and the water flows smooth.

Great compliment to Camelbak bottles to brew tea and infuse flavors and straining fruit. Bonus to keep from swallowing ice.

This thing great for making loose tea in my 36oz. Yeti. Washes out easily.

I purchased this so I could make tea in my 32oz wide-mouth nalgene bottle. It actually works really well for this - the narrow cap is just barely wide enough to fit inside the mouth of the bottle and maintain its place by pressure, whereas the wide cap sits comfortable over the lip. It has a decent capacity, so if you are making black tea you only need to fill up the strainer 1/6th of the way, and if you are making herbal tea you can fill it completely. It is about as easy to clean out as any strainer of this sort, which is to say, not exceptionally, but acceptably. The build feels surprisingly nice - probably wouldn't survive a fall onto rocks if it was full of wet tea leaves, and I'd keep it in a protective case if I was backpacking. For more general home/office use, should be fine.A couple cons:First, while the narrow cap just barely fits in the mouth of the bottle, it's marginal. You have to bend out the little metal tabs to keep it snug, and there's always a small risk it might slide in. This has happened twice so far, out of about a dozen uses, but I think it's largely a matter of technique. I have to use the narrow cap only because I fill the bottle with a hot water machine and there is only clearance for the nalgene itself, not the nalgene plus the wider cap.Second, and more significantly, the narrow cap does not screw securely into the basket. The wide cap is fine - it threads in nice and tight - but the narrow one, while threading in nicely, comes apart with the slightest tug. I don't know if this is a manufacturing defect or if they are all like this, but I'd say it's a pretty serious drawback. It actually hasn't come apart on me yet, but I know it's marginal.So I would probably recommend it, in principle, especially if you don't need the narrow cap. It would easily have four stars if not for that issue.

This infuser works perfectly for me. It fits my Fellow mug and Nalgene wide mouth PERFECTLY. The Fellow is perfect fit, and I am still able to close the lid (with other infusers, I could not). But with the Nalgene one, the infuser could fall the whole way through if pushed hard enough. Absolutely love this purchase. Now I can take tea on the go, or make a nice cold brew coffee.

I bought this because I wanted to be able to use the hydro flask 16 and 20 oz coffee travel thermoses that I already have. It works wonderfully and actually comes with two different lid sizes so you can use it in a larger flask if you'd like to. Leaks a little bit if the tea is very powdery but for my favorite Earl Gray cream it's perfect. Easy to clean and if you like strong tea you can just leave it in.

Love these things. I use the strainer in regular cups for tea too.
