The filter is working out good for me.
I have a tea maker and the lid sometimes pops off the container holding the tea and then the tea leaves float out. You know what that means. Tea leaves everywhere.
The tea then gets dispensed into a tea pot about 2 cup size. I put the Finum into a single serving cup and pour enough tea in to fill the cup. I have some tea that is very small, no big leaves in it yet the finum filter caught all the fine leaves. That is great.
One of the most important tasks of a loose leaf tea infuser is to keep the leaves in the basket.
Yet, making single cups of tea is not why I originally bought the filter.
I want to make tea in quantity in a pan for my Kombucha. I have yet to do this but I'm pretty sure it will be ok. It should be big enough for a large batch and since it seems to be easy enough to rinse clean I can confidently make multiple batches.
Although I have not used the filter much as I just purchased it, it is sturdy. The tea didn't have any strange flavors from the filter. The lid is good and that it doubles as a stand is nice too.
I also used the filter in a cup that narrows at the bottom without any problems...The filter fit perfectly. Anyone who makes tea in a coffee size mug should have no problem fitting the filter right in the mug.
From my experience with the filter so far I can recommend it.
You would want to make sure the screen comes clean or flow could be reduced.
There is plenty of room in the large basket for nice fluffy tea leaves. I have a lot of different tea leaves to choose from and this filter could get the best out of them all.
I always disliked the tea balls that close in the middle. This filter presents none of the normal problems associated with a tea ball.
I have not tried coffee in it but I don't see how it would be any problem.
I guess the main thing for you to deal with when using this infuser is the temperature of your water and how you pour it into the filter.
And that we all know is not up to the infuser.
This is a simple to use filter without many drawbacks.
I would like to say I will update with more use but I'm so busy I might not even get reviewed all the products I buy anyway.
I'm a happy customer.

Great product - way OVERPRICED- Two in photo, but you only get one!
I have been using these strainers for years and we absolutely love them. They are especially good for tea that is very small like rooibus, which gets through the usual metal strainers. I don't use it for coffee as I don't want the flavor to get into the plastic and ruin my future tea brewing. Maybe it won't absorb the coffee flavor? I don't want to chance it. I will also use it when I need a really fine strainer for something like homemade broth - it strains the tiniest of particles! I don't know if it came with a lid before, but I don't see the need for one, I'll probably just lose it when my children empty the dishwasher.Minus a star for:1. I could overlook the points below and leave a 5-star if it weren't for the fact that this has more than doubled in price in 3.5 years -ridiculous! It was so expensive I assumed I was getting TWO for this price because 2 are shown in the photos! I think that's deceitful advertising. Poor form. It makes me so frustrated I want to take a second star away. I don't, only because I really like it, and it has outlasted many other ones I've bought.2. The box came crumpled - normally I wouldn't care, but I need to wrap this for Christmas and it looks like I bought it at the bottom of the shelves at the dollar store. The strainer is intact, so it's fine.3. The plastic seems cheap, but it has held up over the years, so not a huge complaint, but again- for the price it could just have a stronger feel about it.
