– 3 Pack Mesh Snap Ball Tea Strainer with Handle for Loose Leaf Tea and Mulling Spices Stainless Steel Tea Infuser Tea Filter

Good quality product

Very helpful with make nice tea

Good product. It's hard to open the filter part. Also hard to clean. Tea leaves will get stuck between the circles so you have to master the art of getting tea with this or put the tea in with a spoon which feels like it beats the purpose. Wasn't as practical and fast as I thought.

Great,they do the job,easy clean,value for money,many uses.

Good size for one teaspoon of loose tea. Unfortunately the holes are too big and the small tea leaves will fall through. Seems to have a good closure with a tight spring action. My parcel arrived quite squashed and the sieves were crumpled but I managed to straighten them out.

Smaller ball than the one I bought as a single. Seems to help sealing - very little leakage ( I use it for builders brew style black tea with small leaves). As quick to infuse as a tea bag. Construction seems sturdy but if it does break there are two backups.

I have used this type of sprung tea ball for years. Whittards used to sell them for £5 each, so I didn't buy many in those days! Good points: - You can use a small amount of good tea to make a mug for one person. I find it easier to keep a spoon in the tea caddy and use that to fill the tea ball rather than scoop the tea with the tea ball itself. - Even if you are making tea for several people it's still quicker to use one tea ball per mug than it is to get out the tea pot, warm it, make tea, pour it through a strainer, swill out the tea leaves and wash the pot. And the tea will be hot, though the handle of the tea ball is not. - These particular tea balls have a longer stem than others I own, so good if you like a big mug of tea. - They also have stainless steel pins holding the arms together which last much longer than the copper pins that some manufacturers use. - After use it's easy to open the tea ball and tap it on the side of the compost caddy - most of the leaves will drop out. Much better than trying to rip open a soggy tea bag so that the tea dust can be composted and the bag thrown away. - This type are much easier to use than the ones on a chain. Other considerations: The spring is quite strong so arthritis sufferers might find difficulty holding them open to get the tea in.

Good design that is easy to use although a little annoying that I need to hold it open with one hand to put anything in it which sometimes requires both hand. The hole size is great, it is also good quality and dishwasher safe. I use it to add cloves and cinnamon (uncrushed) and it does the job well, allowing their flavour to come through (leave the item with the ingredients in it to brew in the hot water for about 3 minutes). All in all, really useful and good at what it does but could do with a little design enhancement for hand-free use.
