I gotta be honest with you, I bought this 'teapot' as a last resort.. I am an avid Chinese loose leaf tea drinker at work and wanted something simple and quick for my desk without requiring a kettle and burner. I've tried everything else and was disappointed at everything I've tried, so I was going to resign myself to teabags (ugh) until I came across the IngenuiTEA. With such rave reviews, I thought I would (sigh) try another gadget and worst comes to worst... I can always return it when it inevitably fails me...
That was months ago, and since then I have been using this truly ingenious product daily. No complaints! Why did we ever bother with cheap glass kettle infusers which burn our fingers and shatter if we even touch it? Or those clumsy metal ball things that takes forever to scoop two teaspoons of tea into it, never clasp to the side of our mugs in the first place, then leak hot tea everywhere and we fumble with it with burned fingers and the tea comes loose into the precious drink? I even bought expensive mug/filter things that inevitably leak or mold or smell or just create a mess on my desk.
I'm not very picky with tea, really. All I want is a) A handle and lid so I can safely carry the hot tea back to my desk from the break room without it getting cold too quickly b) A substantial size so I don't have to keep traveling for my tea c) Keeps my tea leaves separate so I can reuse it a couple more times d) Easy to use and no need to fiddle with hot tea balls or whatever, I'm supposed to be working not fiddling with my mug e) Easy to clean
This thing solves all my problems above amazingly. The handle is large and practical for a good grip (none of those dainty small designer handles), the lid is not exactly watertight but enough for a good seal if I fill it to the top. At no point does my fingers touch the actual teapot, but even so it doesn't get too hot. The hefty 16oz is good for two cups of tea (not really enough, I may get the larger size, but it's good really). As I drink my tea from my actual tea mug, the tea leaves are safely contained within the ingenuitea teapot so all I have to do is grab the teapot and top it up with hot water, or toss it and rinse it to clean, or pop it into the dishwasher. No need to scoop out tea leaves from a gross rusting tea ball.. you know what I mean.
Nope this is not 'just another kitchen gadget', destined to be shoved to the back of the cabinet. Smart, well designed and above all, simple, this product truly deserves its reputation.
Oh.. I do have two 'complaints'... I wish it wasn't plastic. I know it's BPA free, but a more friendly material would be nice, maybe glass or even porcelain or something? Also, your actual drinking mug should be clear, that way you'll know how much tea is flowing into your cup from the teapot. Or else it will spill!
EDIT: This thing leaks very easily! It doesn't leak of its own accord, but the moment ANYTHING even slightly TOUCHES the bottom of the cup, the liquid will pool. Even if you just recently drained it, the residual water will still flow out. Even knocking a freshly drained strainer against my thigh will result in a wet spot. I use the strainer, strain it into my mug, and put it aside thinking all the liquid is out, and not realizing it is resting upon an object, even a slightly thick object like a piece of board, and it leaks and pools all over my table. This has happened numerous times. I'm not blaming the product, it works very well, but just a word of caution that the strainer device on the bottom is very VERY sensitive. I work around this by using a saucer specifically for this strainer, and have learned not to place it down anywhere that is not the saucer.

The perfect cup, every time
With our ingenuiTEA teapot, brewing the perfect cup has never been so easy. After adding your leaves and water, the open body allows your leaves to expand fully, releasing the true flavor and aroma of the tea in a way that teabags or small in-mug infusers simply cannot provide. Once finished brewing, simply place it on top of nearly any mug, and let gravity do the rest! A release valve will allow the tea to flow through the integrated filter, preventing any debris from entering your cup. Lift the ingenuiTEA off, and the valve seals tight and stops any further drips! This 16oz. model is perfect for personal use, or for sharing with a friend (if you're feeling generous)! So why wait? The perfect cup is out there, just brew it.

Great Product!
After 10 years I finally bought a new one! I love the ease of steeping tea. Just put in a teaspoon of loose tea, add hot water, wait a few minutes, then set in on top of your mug so it can drain out of the bottom. I used in every day for 10 years and it still worked, but was getting kind of gross. You can see my new one next to my old one in the photo.
