BUYDEEM CD1011 Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Removable Tea Infuser, Double Walled Vacuum Insulated Flask with Loose Tea Brewing System, Hot & Cold for Hours, 12 oz (Cozy Greenish)

I brew my own loose leaf tea almost everyday. The tea ball wands and balls on chains constantly break and make messes. I saw this and loved the idea so I decided to get one. I added the loose leaf tea to snap top tea holder in the thermos. And added 1 and 1/2 cups of hot water. Screwed the lid on and I decided to turn it up side down to brew. It worked so well and the tea came out just as expected. Easy clean up with used to leaves. Easy to clean bottle and lid. I just used a bottle brush to wash it. It isn’t dishwasher safe but that it totally fine with me since it works so well. I love the cozy greenish and goes with my other Buydeem products and kitchen in general.Buydeem also has a great customer service team, Rika has been so helpful and has even followed up after my purchase to make sure it arrived and if I had any questions or concerns. Definitely a rare thing on Amazon to have the company contact you to see how it is going with the new product. I really appreciate the dedication of their team.I also love how convenient this bottle is, I can take my tea on the go and not have to wait for it to brew before I leave. I also like that after taking out the lid there is room from cream. I also noticed even though I had really hot water in the bottle the outside wasn’t hot. It did come with a grey soft silicon hand grip to slip on the bottle for heat and a better grip. I also think this bottle is perfect for travelers since you can drive and brew and drink the tea all while in the car. It is also small enough to fit in a bag or diaper bag. But it is just the right size for your tea at home, travel or even at work. Not to mention it is very pretty and my fav color. If you are as obsessed with tea as I am you need this! It also has a good lid grip and did not leak. And it also has a soft grey silicon handle. Their is also a super convenient silicon grey grip at the bottom which I really like to prevent slipping and tipping.

Easy to hand clean & use. Keeps 12 oz. of hot liquids HOT for 6-8 hours! I take it to work & turn it upside down to brew just before I drink it. Love this for making my loose leaf tea! The blue color is pleasing to the eye, too. Solid craftsmanship. Occasionally there are some small tea leaf bits at the bottom, but they settle easily. Hope they will make a 16oz one soon!!!

I love this tumbler, and love it so much I even got my dad one because he's also super into drinking tea.I had the glass version which is great for tea in summertime, but for wintertime it cools too quickly to be of use. I was so glad they made a vaccuum stainless steel version which kept its heat for almost 24 hours (or at least that was from when I made my tea in the morning to when I cleaned my tumbler out at end of day). The tea filter at the top is a little bit too small for some of my looseleaf tea, but I'll survive. Because honestly hot tea and no residue and controllable tea brewing time anytime I want during the day? That's already a lot of checks off my list for the perfect tumbler.

Overall great bottle except the inside of the bottle got tea stains after a couple uses. And it’s hard to remove them.

I really love this water bottle! The design is so great. You can put your tea bag inside the filter and then put the bottle upside down to steep. The filter is also removable. The bottle can keep warm for about 6 hours. I truly recommend to you!

I was attracted by the mellow yellow color and the design. I usually drink warm water so this stainless steel bottle meets my need perfectly. It’s easy to hold with the silicone protector and carry with the handle.

Keeps my tea super hot. Once you make your tea in this you won’t be using a teapot.

There is an error in this listing. This is a 12 oz. bottle not a 14 oz bottle. The Capacity is listed as 14 Ounces, 350 Milliliters. 350 ml. is about 12 fluid oz. not 14 fluid oz. When the water is filled to the recommended fill-line marked inside the bottle, there is about 350 ml./12 fluid oz. of water. I checked by filling the bottle to the fill-line and poured the water into a measuring cup.Both material and finish of this bottle is very good. The outside bottle is finished with a painted non slip matt finish which is very attractive. There is a ribbed rubber sleeve that slips on the outside which further enhanced the grip on the bottle. The rubber pad on the bottom of this bottle is a nice touch.The tea infuser is nicely made and could be screwed on and off with ease. The opening and closing of the infuser lid are also very smooth.I added boiling water to the fill-line and tested the water after 6 hours. I am happy that this bottle does hold the temperature hot as advertised.I have a lot of water bottles. The reason I got this is the tea infuser. Personally, I prefer ceramic bottle and bottle opening with internal threads. I can taste stainless steel. However, in the case it is a moot point. I usually soak stainless steel bottle with tea to get rid of the stainless-steel taste. I do have glass bottle with infuser but I do not like them. The reason is those glass bottles are usually too hot to handle despite that they are double walls.This bottle is designed for tea drinkers. Chinese do not soak tea leaves in a teapot nonstop. Tea leaves are supposed to be soaked in water for a few minutes and then the tea and the tea leaves are to be separated. By filling the water to the fill-line, when the bottle is standing up right side up, the tea leaves would be in the infuser up away from the water. If the tea is a bit weak, you could flip the bottle upside down again and soak the tea leaves a little more. Chinese tea drinkers would mostly likely frown at me with this suggestion. LOL!I normally like highly polished finish inside the bottle. Highly polished finishes do not stain as easy. The inside of this bottle has a frosty finish much like the finish of Hydro Flask. I found this type of finish is acceptable, it is quite smooth and clears easily.I would prefer an interior thread for the opening as I prefer drinking from a smooth edge and bottle with interior threads tend not to collect water at the outside and thus no drips from the bottle openings. This bottle has external threads. The treads are big and I do not have issue drinking.There is no perfect bottle as they cannot be made for all occasions. You cannot have a light weight high-capacity bottle. The water alone would weight the bottle down. Some bottles are designed for one handed operation and some require both hands to open and close. Only the one-handed lids should be used in a car. If you can taste stainless steel and hate it, go for a ceramic or glass bottle but these usually are more fragile and usually do have hold hot water for longer than two or three hours.This is not a perfect bottle but it is ideal for people in a rush and wish to have a proper cup of tea. However, I do not recommend this to be drink in a car by the driver. Opening the lid is a two-handed affair and if the infuser is still attached to the lid, hot water might be dripping down.I do like this bottle. This is very good for people who likes to brew tea on the go. However, one needs to be very careful when drinking from this bottle as the water is so hot and it might burn your mouth. If you are drinking hot tea with this bottle, SIP! If I am consuming hot tea with this bottle, I need to open the lid and cool the temperature down a little.Footnote: -You can overfill the watermark by at least 1/8 inch and probably more if you are brewing tea. The reason is after the tea is soaked; water would be absorbed in the tea leaves. When the bottle flipped back upright, the water would drop below the water mark if you filled water to the water mark.This bottle actually holds hot water hotter than most of my other bottles and I have a lot of them. I have cold hands and could feel heat easily. The bottom of this bottle is hardly any warmth when filled with hot water. That means heat is not lost at the bottom. The act of not filling the water high also helps. The water does not touch the lid which means that heat is not transfer directly from the water to the cap. There would be a large gap between the hot water and the cap.
