ZENS Modern Small Tea Infuser Teapot, Tritan One Touch Maker for Loose Leaf Diffusers With Insulated Cup and Travel Kits, Cool Gongfu Pot for Lover Gifts

I LOVE this. I ordered it to replace my old one, which broke because the top section was made of glass. This one seems to be all good quality plastic, so I’m not worried about a repeat. It’s adorable, for one thing. I don’t know if this is an everyone thing, or a “me and five year olds” thing, but I love pressing the button and watching my tea drain into the cup at the perfect steeping time and secretly feeling a little like a tea chemist(/mad scientist).The best thing about this is how easy it is to steep things perfectly. I’ve had tea containers before that had strainers in them, and that’s great depending on what kind of tea you’re having, but it’s annoying to have to take out and get rid of the leaves at the right moment, or find somewhere to keep them if you want to re-steep later. This is AMAZING for that. Put your leaves in the top, add hot water, wait exact length of time, push button… then you have your perfect tea in bottom cup, and you leave the leaves in the top until you’re ready to repeat for the next cup.I use this mostly for pu-erh tea and it’s perfect, seriously so easy. A great size for it too, especially given how many steeps you can do of the same leaves. If I’m making chai tea or something this wouldn’t be my go-to, because I want a bigger mug to mix milk etc. in, and I want more to drink longer.It’s not meant to be an insulated container for tea, so don’t expect anything like that. You’re making a small cup at a time, as you want to drink it. The base cup is a completely normal cup in that regard, though I suppose it loses heat a little faster than your standard mug because there’s less in it, so more surface area vs substance to lose heat from. I’ve never had an issue with tea cooking before I drink it.It’s pretty easy to clean, too. Just rinse it carefully after use and you’re not going to end up needing much more. I’d suggest removing the metal strainer and rinsing under the parts where it’s held in- I think that’s what would be hardest to deal with, if you let mold get started there.

Great quality

This is so easy to use and works great ! If you drink tea you will love this product. I do wish the top twisted on the bottom so it would stay tightly other than that I am pleased with my purchase.

This thing is awesomeIt has to be mentioned that this is intended for gong fu cha style brewing. If you have your own set and want something convenient, portable, and very well designed, you'll like this.The cup is double insulated to protect your hands. The silicone center also resists heat. The mechanism is surprisingly simple, easy to clean, and just looking at it you can tell it's going to last a while as long as you're not beating it up.The top does not click onto the bottom, I think this is intended because it makes sense for gong fu cha and how this device operates. The flat lid can also act as a base for the silicone, and I like using it this way because you can smell the aroma of your brewing reservoir and the steaming tea while you enjoy your cup. The silicone doesn't drip at all and that's nice for if you don't want to use the lid base and keep it enclosed between steps. Snapping or locking together would be a nice design improvement because it would allow it to be carried without the case, but it still works perfectly if used as designed. My only major complaint is that I wish it were dishwasher safe, because I'm lazy even with how easy it is to clean.

The media could not be loaded. I love the concept, but I do not like the cup. I feel that the cup that we drink out of it should be able to twist and lock so I can move it from place to place when I go on my break room at work and fill my thing up with hot water I have to hold it very gently because Both cups top and bottom will fall off and I can’t have that is also left some stains inside the travel case so unfortunately I’m gonna have to return this.

This is really cute and would be handy except the bottom does not secure to the unit. So if you pick it up the bottom falls to the ground. Nor is the top lid secure where you place the tea and hot water. Tip it at all and you're going to get hot tea all over your hands. You have to be really careful using this.

I've been searching for a worthy travel gong fu tea set for a while. I've tried a few styles and found them all to be lacking in either portability, durability, or share-ability (not good for more than one person). This tea maker ticks ALL the boxes.Compact: This fits easily in a 6L fanny pack along side a compact camera, and other items for travel.Durable: It's made of a durable plastic that retains heat well and prevents you burning yourself. If you've ever used a gaiwan, you know how easy it can be to burn yourself... The release mechanic is made of rubber and steel and can be easily taken apart for cleaning.The top section is also removable for easy cleaning.Shareable: The bottom section of this can act either cup for solo use, or a gong dao bei (justice cup) for sharing with others. You can also fit at least two small tea cups inside, and depending on how small or shape of the cups, you could fit perhaps up to 4.I would recommend this tea maker to anyone who wants high quality gong fu tea while away from home.The ONLY thing I can think of to make this a better product would be to add a bit of grip on the top lid. It can be just a little slippery when trying to remove it.

I LOVE this travel tea set and use it everyday at work and at home.I debated on this style here or a glass travel set. I am so happy I chose this one. I personally have had no troubles with leaking from the ‘button’.There’s plenty of room to steep and make multiple cups of whole leaf tea.I now want a second set so I can leave home at work and leave one at home.Cleaning can be a bit tedious compared to a set that doesn’t include the ‘button’ feature and you simply pour. I find the cleaning worth it for all the features and ease of use I get with this set.Note: this is NOT a leakproof bottle where you can make tea and bring it with you. This is meant to be used while sitting at a desk or table.
