MSC International 4254 Frog Tea Infuser - 2 Pack

The Joie Stainless Steel Bloom Floating Tea Infuser is a cute and functional tea infuser that comes in assorted colors. The infuser features a frog design that floats on top of the tea and comes with a holder for easy storage around the kitchen. One of the main issues with this tea infuser is the design flaw of the flower lids. Water can get trapped inside them, causing them to sink instead of float. Some customers have tried drilling a small hole in the top of the infuser to allow the expanding air to escape and prevent water from getting inside. Others have reported difficulties in opening the tea infuser, with the bottom of the basket popping off unexpectedly. On the positive side, the infuser is suitable for both loose tea leaves and tea bags. It is made of 18/8 stainless steel and BPA-free plastic, ensuring safety when using boiling water. In terms of performance, the small holes in the infuser prevent tea leaves from escaping but also slow down the flow of water, resulting in a longer steeping time for a stronger tea. Cleaning the infuser is not straightforward, as the leaves tend to stick to the inside and require rinsing. Overall, the Joie Stainless Steel Bloom Floating Tea Infuser is a cute and giftable item for tea lovers. However, the design flaws and issues with water getting trapped inside the infuser lid, along with the slow flow of water and difficulty in cleaning, make it less than ideal for some users.
