The Steeper - DAVIDsTEA

Tea by Teaware

It’s Magic

How does this superwow accessory work? Like a teapot. Except the clear, BPA-free plastic lets you watch as your tea steeps. And when you’re ready to sip, just place the steeper right on your cup. You’ll feel a rush as the weight magically opens a valve, and your infused tea flows out through a specially-designed filtration system. Then, when you lift the steeper, the valve closes automatically. It just might be the neatest, coolest way to steep.

I love my Steeper – I use this thing ALL the time! Little mess pouring the tea, the leaves are kept nicely for when I want to resteep and pretty well balanced so it doesn’t fall over or anything.

I love it so much, I crocheted 2 cozies for it and posted the pattern on my blog to share with others – ZOMG CROCHET STEEPER TEA COZY http://awkwardsoul.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/davidstea-steeper-cozy-crochet-free-pattern/

My only complaint is taking this thing apart. Maybe I’m scared I’m gonna break it and I’m screwed for having good tea until a new one comes in the mail. Putting the filter back in can be a pain. What I found works really well for cleaning is rubbing baking soda in to remove all the tea stains.

I have the 18oz and totally want the 36oz. One day.

This is bliss.

Pretty much the IngenuiTEA, but I could buy it at my store so I did.
$20.
No leaks, delicious tea, no plasticy flavour even from first use! I like it.

Very easy to clean as well, Just a rinse will do, or you can get all grabby and take out parts, but you don’t have to do it every time that’s for sure. Love.

I love that thing! really really useful for tea that expand a lot but that also is bad side if i use it with a tea that is not full leaf or tea with powder in it The steeper become a pain to clean even more if for some reason i did not remove the leaf from directly after using it some tea get in part we cannot remove or clean but i still really love the steeper just choose carefully what the kind of tea you put in it !

So there will never be a cup of tea done in this house without my new best friend, the Steepster!!
Where have you been, you Steepster, all my life???? This is perfection, easy, beautiful to look at, and NOT MESSY AT ALL, so easy to clean!!!
One cup after another, I go on and on, I dare you to stop me!

How do you revolutionise tea making? By using the Steeper – tea brewing is quick, easy, and mess free, and you get to watch your gorgeous leaves unfurl and dance through the clear BPA free plastic! Just a genius device, and the joy of watching the liquid disappear into your cup never gets old ( or I’m just very easily entertained!). Thank you DavidsTea and international shipping!

After having many battles with other steeping accessories I bought this and I love it. Its easy to use and clean, no plastic taste is left to the tea, no leave particles or whatnot makes its way through and it comes with a little coaster! The only thing i would change would be like a water guide so you know how much water you are adding!

I want to add another great recommendation for this. Just got it this afternoon but it is amazing. And it is super easy to clean. I may actually consider getting another one so that I can hold the leaves for resteeping and to keep my blacks from my other teas. Still on the fence on that one.

This is the perfect accessory to brew iced tea. It’s very easy to use and to clean, I love it

Just listened to my roomate talk about what an amazing device this was, and how he’s excited it was so cheap, but he would have paid way more for it. It’s easy to use and easy to clean and you don’t get any leafy bits in your tea cup, which is cool. Just thought I’d post a good review on his behalf…however I also love this steeper more than any human should love a tea machine.

I purchased the Steeper because I was sick of crap escaping from the old tea ball so it was time for an upgrade. I was in at Davids satisfying my horrible addiction for teas when I saw it sitting on their shelf, I quickly checked it out and was impressed. Then the girl behind the counter made me a tea and showed me exactly how it worked, I was sold when the tea in the cup was clean as a bell. The unique factor of it also helped push the sale, certainly worth it if you are brewing multiple cups a day. Only downside is it needs to be cleaned fast if you brew a potent tea otherwise it will really stick into the plastic, but this isn’t a design flaw from Davids just the power of Tea in general.

I have this, as well as the Tea Master from Teaopia, and David’s Tea Steeper is by far the more used. The wider base fits over my favourite mugs better,and the shorter but wider brew area allows for better expansion of some of my leafier teas. It’s also easier to get my hand in to clean it. I use it multiple times daily and can’t imagine life without it <3

I got this for my birthday; talk about a great gift! Up until then I had been using a Takeya tea maker. The Steeper makes the just the right amount of tea for me, however, so the Takeya will probably be used now just when I want to flash chill some iced tea.

Love using this to make my teas. Especially if I’m making a pot of rooibos. I’ll keep adding water to the tea and let it continue steeping.

Also great for making multiple pots of your oolongs.

Really easy to clean too!

My mom and I love using this gadget. It is well designed and has much cleaner lines than the Teavana Infuser, which I find mechanical looking. Both are a hassle to clean, but it works. Someone online suggested cleaning the mesh with a toothbrush once in a while. I’m thinking of buying a single serving infuser for my office as well as my bf’s place.

Delicious Coco melon Tai tea, I love the ginger inside.

I originally got this because I was getting tired of using my bodum where the smallest amount I could brew at one time was 2 cups and bits of tea were escaping through the filter into my cup.
The Steepster fixed all of this. I can make as much or as little as I like, and nothing escapes the filter. I love how easy it is to use and clean up. I also like the fact that I’m less likely to break it than a glass teapot, but I can still see the tea brewing.
