I have an individual brew cup to put any flavor coffee or tea into. Can i use loose tea leaves?

You can, but I have invested in the tiny filters to keep the brew from having bits of leaves. I am sure Amazon carries these. I got mine at Brd, Bath and Beyond. I love my iced tea pot.

Yes, we use these type of brew cups to use any of our Tea or Coffee. However we like to use paper filters inside the cup to keep some sediment out of the cup.

Any ground coffee will work, but as a tea drinker, I use loose tea. The tea tastes great and a single cup means I don't waste tea because it gets cold. Love this product.

As far as I know it's supposed to be able to work with any single serving coffee maker that takes the pods. The only issue I had was the filter was a tad thick, so I just used them for my loose leaf teas.

Yes, the diffuser is for loose tea. Add the boiling water and it steeps. Personnally, I use a teabag and don't use the diffuser.Marianne

yes, I presume, it is the same consistency as the grounded herbs I used, even a little bit coarser still. Now that you mention it, those tea bags ressemble coffee filters a lot- I don't use these kind of coffee pots so I would have not thought of it. Leave the #1 tea bag standing in the cup of mug, grinds will not leak out. Choose #2 and you can fold it over itself, very secure this way.

I haven't tried brewing tea in this, but I don't see why not. You could probably just put the tea bags in the same place you would put the coffee. They would fit.

I can't tell you from experience, but you should be able to use one of those reusable containers for the Keurig and have it work Ok. Again, I don't know, but, if it is unsatisfactory through the Keurig, Amazon has a stainless steel loose tea holder that works very well.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

I used it for loose leaf tea and I stapled the flap down . If your coffee is finely ground I'd probably use 2 staples in a row so no grounds leak out.

Olga - thanks for your question. Our infuser is designed for loose leaf tea. In some cases if your are using ground teas or fine teas with herb or other flavoring that is small you will get some debris in your cup. Also some smoked teas that are brittle and break into small pieces may also have some issues. Hope that helps.

Yes, you would just push the brew button without coffee or tea in the apparatus. I oft times put a tea bag in a cup and just use the water.

You can use any size cup you want, just adjust your coffee for the right strength

The holes are just large enough that you can fit a push pin / thumb tack through them, so it depends on how fine your tea is. Some of the tiny bits broken from leaves could fall through, but they can do that in mesh infusers as well. They are larger than mesh though. Like Cheryl said earlier - I wouldn't recommend "coffee ground" fine.

Probably. It's made to fit Keurig coffee makers. You definitely have to turn it to orient it to snap into the Keurig pod well. But it is so much cheaper to use these reusable cups. I even use them for loose tea leaves. What I like to do too is mix a couple of different coffees like kona and breakfast blend ... Or a dash of macadamia cocoa blend with French roast. You can get creative mixing different ground coffees.

I use it for whole leaf cold brew tea. I think coffee grounds would go thru the mesh.

Yes you can, but it's a little tricky. There's a hole on the top where you pour in the hot coffee. That's where you put the straw/spicket in. It's roughly 1.5" to 2" wide. You'll have to find a tea ball for the loose tea in that's small enough to fit in it. Usually those tea balls are made of metal and it comes with chains. I suggest cutting the chains and using a string instead. Otherwise, the lid won't close. I hope it helps.

Absolutely! You can use any tea in this product, it doesn't have to be teavana products. I use my own loose tea.
