Thermos with Infuser/Strainer and Separate Cup?
I’ve seen a lot of thermoses with a separate little cup (typically that you screw off or unhook) to pour tea into. And I’ve seen a lot of thermoses with infusers/strainers built in. What I’m wondering is: are there any thermoses that combine the two, with a separate little cup and an infuser/strainer, built into the thermos? And if not, why has not one created this yet?
I think in general a bullet style thermos would do what you’re looking for. The locking mechanism would be kind of a strainer unless you have itty bitty leaves. I did this pretty often with mine. This really only works from a continuous brewing method though (grandpa style). It’s not a fine mesh strainer, but you could always brew it separately and then decant into the thermos too, or use a tea ball. Problem with that style and infusers would be that it would have to be long and skinny and hard to get in and out. Otherwise it would be too small for the leaves to expand. There might be one that exists, but it’s not something I can see taking off. Also though, I think in general these types of thermos have just gone out of style. Mostly I see variations on the commuter cup style thermos coming out. They are easier to use and easier to clean.
I got mine from Ikea, but here’s an amazon link:
