'Finum FLOATING BASKET' - ein absolut qualitätsvolles, durchdachtes Teil: der Deckel schließt/klemmt perfekt und verlässlich... das Stahlnetz superfein, d.h. kein Teesatz in Tasse oder Kanne... durch das Schwimmerkonzept für JEDES Gefäß - auch zugedeckelt - immer genau passend. Der kleine Basket plus evtl. noch sein etwas größerer Bruder - NICHTS anderes bräuchte es für jegliche Teezubereitung auf dieser Welt!

Perfecto para hacer té de hoja grande o enrollada ya que tiene el suficiente espacio para que se expandan y suelten el sabor y aroma.

Product as advertised. Overall very satisfied.Delivery was prompt, though the box arrived rather crumpled. Item was not damaged, fortunately. Have used it daily over the past two weeks, found it to perform well: easy to wash, ample room for the leaves to infuse, and fits well in a standard coffee mug.

Por fin he dado con un filtro lo suficientemente fino como para que no se filtren hojas de la infusión que me daba mucho asco a la hora de tomar el té. Este filtro es súper fino pero suficiente útil para que se filtre la infusión. Muy contenta.

Das Sieb ist praktisch, da es genau in eine handelsübliche Tasse oder Glas passt. Der Durchmesser sollte am oberen Tassen oder Glasrand jedoch nicht mehr als 10cm sein, sonst fällt es durch. Entgegen mancher Rezensionen riecht es nicht nach Plastik. Fein gemahlenes Kaffeepulver lässt einen Bodensatz in der Tasse/im Glas zurück, -ansonsten passt jegliche Art losen Tees oder Kräuter hinein. Mir gefiel sehr gut, dass man den Siebdeckel als Abtropfschale benutzen kann. Hochwertig würde ich das Sieb nicht nennen. Es ist schon sehr dünn verarbeitet. In die Spülmaschine würde ich es nicht legen. Zum Säubern kann man eine Kinderzahnbürste nehmen.

I've been a tea drinker for 5 years now, and also REALLY into gadgets, especially ones that look cool. After trying many other ways/gadgets to make my tea, this is now my most used tea item. It's not the prettiest thing, but it works THAT well that I have trashed my other infusers. I have one of these Finum baskets at work and one at home. I am using the large size because it's more versatile in my opinion (it WILL fit in smaller mugs, but it will sit on the bottom and the top of it will extend up above the rim of cup - this is fine with me though).I have yet to see a mesh as fine as this product has, and that is what really sets this apart from anything else I've found on the market so far. I have many types of strainers/infusers and the finer particles of tea always escape, but NOT with this Finum. It is a very strong, thick, but very fine mesh that works perfectly. The bottom is also mesh, allowing even more flow-through. I use it for coffee in the mornings and tea the rest of the afternoon each day, and it makes a yummy cup of coffee. It has much more flavor & strength and is less watery than what comes out of a coffeemaker. I let it sit for a few minutes in there, much like I'd do with a French press. The coffee almost tastes as good as French press-style, but still a notch below it. I did a little experiment and took some coffee & brewed it through our coffeemaker. Took same brand of coffee and used the Finum basket to make it. Poured them into 2 separate cups and asked boyfriend to pick his favorite one. He thought they were 2 totally different coffees... that's how different and better the taste of the Finum-made cup was! He loooved it and said it tasted much better than the cup made with the coffeemaker.Some important points about this product:1) Some people don't realize that the little round black piece can function as both a topper/cap to trap flavor in while brewing, AND is also the drip cup for when you remove the basket.2) Makes a better tasting and healthier cup of tea than stuffing tea leaves into a tea infuser ball because of the fact that the leaves are allowed to flow freely around in the large infuser cup area and are completely surrounded by water during the brewing process, pulling the most antioxidants and flavor out of each leaf. The leaves can fully expand. When you stuff tea leaves into a tight ball infuser, they cannot each come in full contact with the hot water and aren't allowed to expand all the way. To me, this is a waste because the leaves in the very center of the ball aren't being used fully.3) The mesh is very fine... so if you ever forget tea leaves in there and it dries, it's a heck of a time to clean it compared to normal mesh.I am not a simple-type person in general. I don't purchase the "minimum to get by" and don't think "this is all I really need" about products. I am really into gadgets and robots and automatic-type things, but after trying all that with tea, this is really the best thing out there right now in my opinion. Sure it might be a little more work, but I have yet to have any other tea infuser/strainer give me the great result that I get with this one - great tasting tea, superfine mesh which means no tea leaf pieces in my cup, superfine mesh also allows me to brew some great coffee, tea leaves can fully expand and come in FULL contact with the hot water and so it's healthier, it's very portable, and p.s. the plastic is BPA-free. Interestingly, it's also the simplest and one of the least expensive. Don't waste a lot of time or money going through a lot of gadgets like I did, just purchase this :)

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.
