 Easy and simple for personal tea. June 24, 2010
Paul Nguyen (Houston, Tx USA)
Makes my tea fine. The mesh is not tiny enough, so some tea leaves do come out. Makes better tea like chrysanthemum or any thing that doesn't go through the mesh easily. Closing the mesh is better when you only fill 1 side of the mesh ball, but not too great when you have on both side. Tea can get stuck around the edge which doesn't seal the mesh ball well. The lock that holds the two half mesh locks good and never opens up when I drink. Sometimes when drinking my tea, the mesh looks big or it's in the way when I drink in a small cup, but I don't have a problem with that in a big cup. Aesthetic is good, and I use it once in a while. I gave 3 star because the mesh is not for all tea and I don't really use it all the time. Design of the device is good because other guests likes to see it when I just place it on top of my cup.

Does what it says. I use it regularly with my loose tea as it is easier to work with in an office setting

I have been using this Norpro mesh infuser spoon for about a week. Unlike some of the other mesh infusers I've tried in the past, this one leaves very few floating pieces in my tea (and I often drink tea with smaller pieces, like mate). I also really like the idea that I can either dunk the ball into the teacup or use the groove in the middle of the spoon to rest the infuser on my mug.
What I don't like about this infuser is that the ball is so small. Not only does this make the infuser hard to load with tea (without spilling a bit on the counter) but also constricts the tea leaves (meaning that I often have to infuse for a minute or two longer than I would have to get a full flavor). I also agree with another reviewer that the latch which closes the ball is weak. I've never had tea fall out or the latch open when I am infusing, but I am worried that I will once the latch gets a bit weaker.
All in all, a decent infuser that is convenient and leaves few 'floatees' in your tea. I just wish the ball were bigger and the latch were stronger.

I actually bought the one without the cup rest handle, I think. I put it into the loose green tea leaves and scoop up about the right amount of tea. I remove it after about 2 minutes and the tea is almost always good. I think the mesh is better than the other perforated kind. My only thought is I should have just gotten a tea strainer so I could make several cups at a time. I kind of like the mesh spoon, though.
