IME this works well for some stuff, particularly serving several guests, but you will run into a problem if you want to prepare 100ml-200ml for yourself, esp. tea that requires high temps. Unless I'm misjudging the size, if the water reaches the infuser at all, the leaves will be restricted to a small, shallow area that might disturb extraction & definitely cools pretty rapidly. You can fix this by removing the infuser and replacing it with a coil filter (I got 5pcs in different sizes for $1.15+$1 delivery on AliExpress).

I worry they are too big for my small hands and I'd burn myself.LeoFox wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:39 amWhy not use gaiwan?GailC wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:08 amIts 250ml.
