I love my Ingenuiteas (the 32 ouncers!) so so much. I bought one for myself, then later bought another so I could serve more than one kind of tea at a time since my sister and wife also like tea and we don’t always want the same one. Plus, 32 ounces is enough for 2, not 3. :)
I can’t rate this highly enough. These are the BEST infuser/steepers and they are fantastically designed. The first model did have an issue with the filter floating up and losing the tea into the mix, but the redesigned model is amazing and does EVERYTHING I want it to.
People often complain that the filter is not removable. It IS removable! It’s just STUCK TIGHT because they fixed the floating problem from the first model. Pull harder. It comes out. And every single piece of this thing comes apart for cleaning. You can remove the presser foot on bottom, the gasket ring that holds it in place, the filter, and even the lid! It’s top-rack dishwasher save, microwavable, BPA-free and kid-proof durable. I’ve dropped and knocked mine off so many times and it has no cracks, no issues, no broken lid hinge— not a thing wrong with it after a year and a half of constant use! It survived a freaking straight-line wind that was as powerful as a tornado! It survived being flung across the kitchen in that storm that broke my house. IT’S STURDY :)
Plus, I love watching my tea turn colors. I can see when it’s dark enough (for some brews this is important) and I just enjoy laying it atop a mug and letting it piddle out its contents into my cup. It makes me happy.
Go buy one. Buy two. Get the Iced Ingenuitea because it’s bigger. Love it. :) I know you will!
(Fyi Adagio has not remotely paid me in any way to love on this product. I just love this product so much. If you have never ordered from Adagio tho, I can totally send you a $5 giftcard for free to get you started. This would make a great first purchase. I would get frequent cup points if you took me up on that. Full disclosure complete. :) )
