GROSCHE Aberdeen Smart Tea Maker BPA-Free Tea Infuser Clear 34 oz (1000 ml)

If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would do it.It is well worth the money. It is easy to use easy to clean up. I have 2 one at home and one at the office. And if I continue to drink tea like I do I probably will get another one and have it at my mother in law's house.

Long time tea connoisseur (not a type of dinosaur) and firm believer this type of tea steeping is the best way to bring out the brightest flavors of your one cup tea. If your tastebuds could, they’d bow down to you for your excellent tea steeping choice. Cast iron tea pots are another story this review won’t get into, because it’s irrelevant. It was time to retire my old Teavana brand tea maker I’ve had since 2012. Yeah, I’m surprised it lasted 8 years! One of the little legs broke as I dropped it, and it could not stand without the bottom lifting up. If this were to become a Disney story, I’d be the Beast who chucked Mrs. Potts down to the floor and was cursed for eternity. I’m also comparing this product to the Teavana brand since most people introduced to the idea of this device come from when Teavana helped make tea drinking a bit more mainstream in the US. Yeah, tea drinking was universal. I’m not saying Teavana introduced tea to the US. I’m saying they helped introduce more people to the idea of drinking real tea and not just raspberry Brisk, or Arizona green tea. I read a few reviews prior to purchasing mentioning how this one was “far superior” to Teavana’s. After receiving mine, I wouldn’t agree that it’s “far superior”, but it does have different benefits. I’m including photos of both so we can all see~ Groshe brand: -The chamber is circular and spherical, allowing easy access. This is great when you need to stick your hand inside to clean. *Let’s keep your mind PG, people. -The mesh filter has an elongated nose pin allowing easy pull out when wanting to remove for cleaning. *Of course, you can’t clean up if you don’t pull out. Tell your kids to use a condom. -The handle has a heart shaped, wide comfort grip. It reflects old Victorian tea ware handles. *So fancy. Pinky up fancy. Teavana brand: -It had an oval chamber and went straight up. Definitely early 2000 plain aesthetics. *Boring, but functional, like the ex you broke up with. -The mesh filter was tight with a small nose pin, but removable. *Being short is one thing. Being small...well... -The handle was thin, but went along the entire length of the tea maker, allowing a secure grip. *I mean, one good trait helps. Getting serious, both chambers are able to steep 16oz of tea, regardless of their shape. Because the Grosche brand is spherical and wider at the top, it’s a little hard to eyeball an amount. I find myself lifting it off my cups more often than doing so with the Teavana brand to make sure it doesn’t overflow. I do love the circular shape more, since it’s A LOT easier to clean and get my hand inside. The lids on both are removable, but the Grosche doesn’t seem as hard to remove and attach. The Teavana one was so stiff and hard, the plastic hinges easily broke off (you can see in the picture showing the handle). Still, be careful when removing and attaching the lid since I’m sure the Grosche may break if not taking precautions. I absolutely love the elongated nose pin on the mesh filter of the Grosche. It’s so easy to grab and pull out to clean. I swear, people who haven’t used the old Teavana one will never know the struggle of squeezing your hand inside an oval chamber, and wiggling out the tiny nose pin from the tightest fitting mesh filter. If your knuckles had a mind of their own, they’d knock you out every time you removed and inserted the Teavana filter. The handle...I HATE the Grosche handle. Heart shaped like a little tea cup?! Sure, I guess you can say it’s cute, but you can only fit two fingers comfortably, and barely have a strong grip when raising it to place on a cup. It also widens towards the bottom, which I find super annoying, because it doesn’t help stabilize your two finger grip on 16oz of hot water. I definitely miss the Teavana handle. That baby made sure you had a secure grip and easily fit in your hand so it couldn’t wobble around unless you were shaking. Overall, the Grosche isn’t bad, and the poor handle shape isn’t enough to dock a star from this review. The handle sucks, but everything else is pretty awesome. Easy to use, easy to clean. Pretty convenient. Tip on cleaning plastic without scratching: baking soda and soap with a cloth or soft side of a dish sponge. Those tea stains will come right off.

I really enjoy making my tea in this tea pot. Works well clean up easily.

I travel with this, for coffee though. Works really well. Never an issue. I don't like the random coffee machines in hotels, so I carry this with coffee I grind myself before travel. Doesn't clog or get greasy, easy to clean.

I drink 3-4 cups of tea a day and like to make fresh brewed teas for clients/visitors. I used to have a similar product I bought at the mall but it broke and the store has since closed. I was looking for something similar online and found this one. I bought this because it looked the most similar to the one I had, but when I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised that this seems better. The filter/inside is easier to clean, and it makes tea so easily. Just put your tea leaves in, put hot water in, let it steep for the appropriate time (1-3 minutes for white tea, 3 minutes for green, 3-5 minutes for most others) then put the tea maker on top of a regular mug and enjoy the delicious brewed tea. This is a great tool for a new tea drinker or a tea connoisseur alike. I've had this tea maker about a month now and using it everyday. Tip: if you're new to drinking tea invest in a temperature controlled tea kettle too so you can brew good tea leaves at the right temperature and time.

I'm a hardcore tea drinker and have been looking for something that would reliably make looseleaf tea quickly and without much fuss. I was incredibly surprised at how simple and yet elegant this brewer is. Just one spoon of looseleaf tea and hot water from our electric kettle makes a crazy good 1000ml of perfect tea that is super easily dispensed without drips from the bottom. And so far, no tea fines - the mesh strainer is keeping the funky stuff out of the cup. I really appreciate the Tritan plastic because we haven't found any glass pitchers that can handle the boiling water. Also love that it is dishwasher safe, but I rinse mine out immediately after brewing with no trouble. So far, no drips from the bottom mechanism either. Goodbye tea balls and other devices that have been so disappointing. I can't recommend this tea infuser enough!

Started drinking tea and decided to get a tea maker as I don't like tea balls or such (no place to rest them after I got my tea), so I decided to get one of these tea pots with bottom-release mechanism. The tea pot is simple and in clear plastic, there's nothing hidden away from your eyes. The top lid should probably flip up a bit more but it's big enough for my self-boiling kettle to pour water into. Inside is a removable inverted cone metal mesh filter that fits snugly into the bottom, and the bottom "push trigger" is nice a tight and I can see no leaks as long as the filter stayed in place and no tea leaves got into the mechanism. I rinsed the pot then started brewing. First I made sure the filter stayed in place, then I placed some loose tea in the brew area (I drink Angel Green primarily), then when water is boiled, I wait about 3 minutes (never pour boiling water over the tea leaves, you need it to cool down slightly) then pour it into the pot about 2/3 way up. Then I wait 50 seconds (but this is up to personal preference) then I placed the pot over my Tervis cup to trigger the release. Technically the Tervis cup is a little bit too big for the tea pot, but if you place it carefully it'll still trigger and stay stable over the cup. Wait for the tea to drain. Place the teapot back on the round "mat" (just in case it leaks) and enjoy your hot tea. NOTE: the same tea leaves can be left there and brewed 4-10 times by just adding hot water depending on how strong you want your tea. Cleaning is easy, Turn the teapot unside down and dump the damp content into the trash or compost. You may have to use your fingers to dig out some stuff, and use water to "flush" out the really loose bits. Rinse, and it's ready for the next batch. Anyway, the teapot works great as a single person brewer for all kinds of tea, or maybe for two people if you use smaller cups (8 oz or smaller). The bottom drain mechanism means you don't have to worry about pouring. It makes a great gift to a tea drinker.

Puedo hacer una gran cantidad de té de una sola vez, es fácil de desmontar, fácil de lavar y el material es muy resistente. Una maravilla, muy feliz con mi compra.

A very good quality product. I use it almost exclusively to make ginger tea from chopped pieces of ginger root. It's very easy to clean but when I first received it, the infuser part was wedged in so tightly, I was afraid of breaking something but after the first washing, it loosened up and now is easy to remove and re-install. It would make an excellent gift for herbal tea drinkers.

l was worried it would not fit over my large mug but it works with any cup.. l really like tea infuser because you can see how strong it is getting as it brews.. just great.. !
