Tea infuser MAKU 400-03155 stainless steel fine mesh tea strainer, handheld steeping basket

The handheld tea infuser MAKU 400-03155 is a stainless steel fine mesh steeping basket designed for single-serve brewing of loose-leaf tea. Its compact size fits most cups and teapots, allowing you to steep black, green, herbal and flavored blends without loose particles escaping into the cup. The fine mesh construction captures small leaf fragments while providing sufficient water flow for even infusion. The infuser is easy to rinse and is dishwasher-safe, offering a low-maintenance option for daily tea preparation.

Advantages

Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a tightly woven mesh, the infuser combines durability with precise filtration to minimize sediment in the brew. The handheld design provides control over steeping time and placement in the cup or pot, while the compact shape simplifies storage. Cleaning is straightforward by rinsing under running water or placing the infuser on the top rack of a dishwasher for thorough cleaning.

Suitable for

• Brewing single cups of loose-leaf black tea
• Infusing green and white teas that require short steep times
• Preparing herbal and flavored blends with small leaf particles
• Using with most standard cups and small teapots

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel with fine woven mesh
• Type: handheld steeping basket / tea strainer
• Intended use: single-serve loose-leaf tea brewing
• Filtration: fine mesh to retain small leaf fragments

How to use

Place the required amount of loose-leaf tea into the mesh basket, position the infuser in a cup or small teapot, and pour hot water over the leaves. Allow the tea to steep for the appropriate time for the chosen tea type, then lift the infuser out to stop brewing. After use, empty the spent leaves into compost or waste, rinse the mesh under running water to remove residue, and dry before storage. For a deeper infusion, gently agitate the infuser in the cup during steeping.

Usage recommendations

To preserve the mesh and finish, avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal brushes when removing stubborn residues; soak briefly in warm water if needed. For optimal taste, use the appropriate water temperature and steeping time for each tea type and clean the infuser promptly after each use to prevent flavor transfer between different blends.
