The last time I ordered one of these the strainer basket didn't fit right, it fell through into the tumbler. Is this still an issue with this product?

My strainer fits beautifully. I put my loose leaf tea in the bottom and get up to 4 brews out of some of my pu-ehr teas, less with other teas.

The strainer is a very decliate thing. If you push too hard, it will definitely go through into the tumbler. However, if you apply the correct amount of force, there are little ridges to allow the strainer to click in place. It has not been an issue for me when actually drinking tea (has never fallen, ect), but it's a tiny bit difficult to actually place the strainer in the correct position.

Hi, Annie: I am a buyer, not the seller. It sounds like the strainer should fit your drain.

The shaker I received, the strainer is built into the lid, it's one piece. When you shake it, there's a lid that fits over the strainer.. It's a very snug fit....no spilling!

I have the same problem. However, when I first purchased this product, it fit fine. Now, I have to giggle the basket until it feels that it is sitting properly. Making sure the basket is locked into the slotes and it drops down a bit, you usually have it in right. I believe this product is made very poorly.

By strainer basket, I assume you mean the kind that fits into the drain, in which case, yes. It will work over the strainer basket.

The basket fits in really just one way and then you flip the basket handle over to lock the basket into place. That should allow the lid to close properly Just fiddle with it...you'll get it

The basket insert is flat on the bottom. If it is bent, perhaps you should contact the manufacturer.

I haven't had that problem. I do disinfect with a chlorine cleaner and often run the strainers through the dishwasher .

I've had both flat and cone baskets and have not had them overflow due to the grind. I've used store bought and my own ground coffees. I am suspecting its your coffee maker? In any event, I've had this one for 1/2 year or so and it's been great. I've used various store ground coffees and all have worked. This machine makes and keeps the coffee nice and hot, too.

This has happened a few times for me. I have not pinpointed exact reason why. However, it seems to not occur if there is no water inside the carafe lid after washing it, carafe fully seated under basket, and lid closed all the way. Be sure nothing obstructs the small overflow opening on the lid also. Water should be able to run through it easily... as opposed to center hole.

I'm not sure if you can buy the same mug by itself but I've seen other quality glass mugs on Amazon. My strainer & lid were to small for my FORLIFE mug & created a loose fit, so I would advise checking for measurements on other mugs & maybe finding a more snug fit. Good luck!

I just went and checked mine out. The handles seem to be on there to stay. one end is welded ( or what ever) and the other the rods are curved so I can't pull them out of the basket part. So you got me?

Why? Because they aren't well made would be my evaluation. It leaked there, and from above the filter basket. In fact they sent me two as warranty and they both malfunctioned similarly, one even leaked out through the on/off switch. That couldn't be too safe, I've since given up on that brand, and espresso machines generally.

I sent the whole set back and they sent me a new one that arrived in perfect condition. It is a beautiful set!!! It is wrapped under my Christmas tree so I can't look to see if it has a strainer. Sorry.

Mine lined up just fine, so I think there may be an issue with your lid not being on properly. I never had the problem with the lid not lining up when I replaced the bags. I would contact the manufacturer about the issue, or talk to a person where you bought it. Hope I helped. Thanks!

It's a loose fit when the strainer is not in there. If you are pouring, you'll need to hold the lid in place.

No, the strainer is secure. I drink a lot of herb tea so it doesn't get bitter leaving the leaves in for a long time.
