AUEAR, 2 Pack Different Size Stainless Steel Mini Strainer Fine Mesh Tea Funnel Coffee Filter with Double Handles

I drink both tea and coffee. My cheap strainer but I like, got handle broke off. I got probably a dozen of tea balls which is useless bc I don’t drink wimpy tea. I like a strainer with handle that can lay over and across your coffee cup. I brew my tea in thermos and let it sit for a long time to get it stronger. Then I’d need a strainer to sit over my mug to strain the leaves out when I pour into the cup so handle is a must. I looked up many strainers and even the expensive ones all have weak spot where the handles are attached to the straining mesh. This strainer had handle integrated as part of the ring that holds the mesh bowl so it is very sturdy and looks like it will never break off. I like this design a lot.At first, I looked at the tiny area of the mesh and though this would not work because the tea leaves will clog it real fast but I just have a teaspoon handy to scoop it off and there’s no problem, a small prize for how indestructible this strainer seems to be. I hope the mesh holds up. But at this prize, I don’t mind getting a new set of the mesh is unusable.What I didn’t expect is how fine the mesh is. I also drink coffee, Turkish-strong kind. My coffee is finely ground and I have to hand pour the hot water to maximize extraction of every bits of it that no machine can make it strong enough, an espresso machine maybe but I don’t want to get a huge gadget to brew me a tiny cup of coffee. I own several designs of coffee makers, percolator, French press and Primula is the last one I got. Two things I dislike about these gadgets are because the Turkish-fine ground coffee I use, it’s a pain to wash and some fine ground gets in my coffee. I like to DRINK coffee, not to eat it though. So I tried making coffee with my Primula pot and strained it through this strainer. Lo and behold, it so fine that it catches these mud of fine coffee out of it. I’m so happy I don’t mind washing the dang pot!

I got this to do a second "strain" for French press coffee. It is common for me to get some stray grains and this will make sure they don't get into my coffee. The mesh is super fine, so it catches practically everything.Note you will need to pour somewhat slowly because liquids have a tendency to spill out. Otherwise, an excellent design

These are perfect for straining fine tea particles, and the best part is that I can toss them in the dishwasher for cleaning!

While it's good quality, the filter is small for me and edges are sharp so be careful handling them. The net area is also smal bcz I drink lots of teas. For those that doesn't, this is good.

Works really well to prevent the fine calcium deposits in your kettle getting into your tea! No more disgusting stuff in your last gulp.

These are very good for straining your tea through after brewing loose leaf tea in a pot, cup, bowl, or gaiwan. They are good for just about any type of loose leaf tea I've ever had. I use them for Black, Green, Oolong, Puerh, White, Yellow, and Purple loose leaf teas. The fine mesh is much finer than any other style of strainer I have ever used, and that is very important for some kinds of tea leaves.But the price seems very high, making Amazon look like a greedy middleman once again.[A lot of the items I have bought for a good price from Amazon are no longer available, as if they don't want us to get too good of a deal on anything nice. And if the same items are available later, or from other sellers, they cost at least 2 or 3 times the normal retail value.]I bought a single one of these Sonsitai brand tea strainers, which is identical to the smaller one of this set, from an online tea company in Camden, London, England, for two dollars and twenty five cents. I can't seem to find the larger one anywhere else right now, and that's the one I like better for certain teas, like Japanese Sencha, or any tea with small leaves. So I had to pay the extra money to get one of the larger ones I wanted. I am waiting to buy a second one, however, since I don't like the price at Amazon right now.I do recommend them, if you need good quality tea strainers, but the price isn't all that great, so I'd try to find them somewhere else first, if it is available in the size you want.

Ordered many times. Love these for their quality and flat bases. Easy to use. Balance and quality are just perfect.

Just be aware they have a very fine mesh. I discovered they're not useable for filtering cold brew coffee, clogs too quickly. Might be fine for their intended use, tea.

Love these. We have just started using leaf tea and although the teapot had a bucket and fine strainer inside it still let a few small bits and what i call “mud” through. But these strainers eliminate all of the residue im very happy with them

Ottimi per trattenere le impurità che possono venir fuori quando si fa il caffè.

The mesh screen is exceptionally fine, perfect for removing all but the finest tea particles. The shape and dual size strainers fit nearly every teacup or tea bowl. The screen is too fine to screen the lumps out of Matcha but its not intended for such things. Very idea for mix herbal teas which can have a varying amount of tea fines some of which can be very small but also good for straining large leaves and herbal ingredients as well. Best to really wash the strainer before use due to the industrial processes utilized to produce it it and add the brushed finish on the stainless steel.

My teapot for loose tea has a filter however some tea dust always escapes it. I purchased this after seeing something similar at a tea cafe. It works well and is sturdy however it is a bit expensive which is why I am taking a star off.If you know someone who loves loose tea and has a tea set they would appreciate something like this.

I use for coffee grounds. Almost perfect.
