HIC Kitchen Double-Ear Conical Tea Strainer, 18/8 Stainless Steel, 3-Inch, For Straining Brewed Loose Leaf Tea And Mulled Beverages

These little cone shaped strainer is excellent and fine enough to even catch powders such as matcha. I was very impressed to see that all the powder was still in the strainer and as matcha powder is very very fine. I’ve tried this on loose leaves to make tea, like chamomile and other flowers, and this is excellent at stopping the big leaves and flowers from the liquids. I also love the fact that this is stainless steel and very sturdy. The net and handle both seem very durable. You can’t beat the price!

This works great for loose leaf teas that come in small pieces. I recently bought a green tea that came in straight leaves (meant for a teapot), and I have to squish those down and break them into smaller pieces so that there is enough for how much I want to steep. I use this device to prepare tea for the morning and for my vacuum sealed bottle. The conical mesh focuses water out the tip, so even if I'm pouring hot water around the edges to catch all the leaves, the end result still comes out centered. This is nice. **Note:** This device isn't meant for steeping, but just for pouring hot water over the leaves. This works great for black leaves and rooibos, but I let green leaves sit for a couple minutes after the first pour just to get them to moisten up and draw the flavor to the surface (basically a crude steep). It works fine. I first pour the appropriate temperature hot water through this thing (with my tea of choice) and into a mug, and then I let it sit for a minute or two, place it over the mouth of my vacuum sealed bottle, and pour more water until full. Then I seal the bottle for work, and drink the cup before heading out. So far, this has worked well. **Note:** This is my bottle. Highly recommended for the office worker. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KZ6JZ5F

Heavy duty, great tea strainer. I did not purchase these to be used as a true tea strainer but they work well for what I need them. The mesh is extremely small and captures particles well so I would imagine it would do great with loose tea.

Perfect for straining crushed pineapple and other canned goods I drain ~

there is nothing this strainer can’t do that a strainer should be able to do.

Sufficient for straining cocktails, but overall a flimsy product that will not hold up to daily bar use. I ordered two, and one had a metal "thread" already coming undone. This was due to the poor shipping container. The items arrive squished, but still usable after re-shaping. They will be going into my travel bar bag that I use for offsite events. The straining works just fine, but I don't forsee this product holding up more than a couple month behind a bar. Do yourself a favor and purchase the RSVP brand 3" conical strainer.

Product is sturdy and well made.

The best part *cheering* is that it can go in the dishwasher. All my very-expensive Kitchenaid mixer attachments can't say that!

I purchased this as a gift along with some whole leaf tea and a mug. It sits on the mug as it steeps and the handle is convenient to flip out the leaves when finished. It was much less pricey than the typical tea infusers I use in my pots and mugs but worked perfect for making the little daily mugs of tea I do. No smell or taste to worry about and sits as it should. I wouldn't use this for a big tea pot necessarily since I like to put on a lid and tea cozy to retain the heat as the tea steeps- and some family like stronger tea and would use my deeper strainer for that.

Yo soy Bartender y me gusto mucho. De buena calidad. Muy bueno, además de pequeño funcional y sobre todo no se oxida.

Quiero que me manden mi pedido o me reembolsen porque nunca recibi el colador, solo recibi el mandil de chef
