Does anyone knows if this infuser is as fine as the Forlife extra fine with the porcelain dish set? thanks.

No, but in comparing photos they seem comparable; and it is a fine infuser. I use mine for coffee as well, and only the finest of particles slip through; but not much. I like it because it's all stainless. If you don't mind plastic in really hot water, some people prefer the Finum brewing basket. If they made theirs in stainless I'd consider it.

The mesh of the infuser is very fine. It prevented debris of the loose tea from getting into the cup. There were still some very very fine particles that escaped that were like the texture/size of cinnamon but I do not think any infuser can prevent that.

Hey Marco, No problems so far for everyday use. Although made it China, it seems to be a sturdy flask with a tight seal. The matte finish is a nice touch. Hope this helps! Alex

The insert is ok, I rarely use it! It has been used, and it does keep your drink fairly cold for awhile, maybe an hour and it's liquid again, it's self contained. I love the fruit strainer option, it also comes out periodically for use without. I really like it, it's versatile. It says to hand wash, which I've always done, but other family members have run it through the dishwasher a few times by accident. Its held up well! Overall I'd give it 4 stars, I wish the plastic was a little shinier, it's dulled just a little....but maybe 5 stars, because we caused it to be dull by washing it in the dishwasher! I love it for tea, lemons in the side! Or peaches! My handle hasn't cracked like others say, maybe they used the dishwasher too? Lol! I hope this helps!

I invested in a pitcher with the loose leaf tea filter and adding the infuser was a nice addition. It keeps the fruit in the pitcher for more flavor VS it going into the glass. Hope this helps.

ABSOLUTELY !!!! I've done both frozen and fresh and they work great. I've used this infuser now for over a month and we LOVE IT !!!! With the size of the infuser the fruit lasts for a good week. One little tip: Be sure to shake it each time before you pour to get the maximum flavor. You're gonna love it !!!!

Yes....definitely!!! It will last for the rest of your life and the lives of all your descendants. It is a remarkable piece of cookware. Happy cooking!

I have had my set for about four months. I love it!!! I do not use it every day, and I'm an old lady who lives alone, so I'm probably not a good resource. I will say, I have had several dinner parties and many people were handling the dishes, rinsing and putting into the dishwasher. I wash them in almost every day. I have had no chips or cracks. The only thing that I found that I don't like is the handle of the cup is too hot to hold if you heat water in the microwave for coffee.

1the infuser is just made of the same material as the pitcher, and can be cleaned easily as you would anything else. i just use hot soapy water. love this product

One has a porcelain cook well $50.99 this is the one I purchased. Clean up is easy and I think cleans up as easily as the stainless steel cook well. This would be a matter of personal choice the stainless steel cook well will probably last longer if you intend to use it a lot. I will use it occasionally and so I went with the less expensive one.

This particular pitcher does not have the infuser attached to it but other models do. This one is just showing the infuser ball that is floating inside of it. I purcased 2 of the balls and they work wonderfully in a pitcher I already had at home. They are big enough to hold a large amount of fruit and the water has a very nice enhanced fruit flavor. I hope this helps!

Other than the infuser getting discolored because of the herbal tea, I have no problems with it. Just dump out the used leaves and rinse out upside down. Use a small baby bottle brush to clean the infuser slits. I wait until the water has boiled and then put the infuser in with the tea already in it.

Yeah it's totally fine. I generally use lemons, which is the most acidic and its plastic-free-tasting. I bought the glass bottle strictly because I didn't want any plastic taste that you normally get. It's a durable infuser, difficult to break - which makes cleaning easy.

Sorry, don't know. I don't use the infuser. I did remember the infuser as being plastic

Hi Kathleen, Yes the infuser is not designed for really fine tea, so you will likely not get the brewing experience you hope for in that situation. However, there are hundreds of beautiful tea varieties available that are not fine and should fit the bill nicely! Sincerely, Bridgett Tulloh, Founder of Flourish and Thrive

Amazon actually sells several varieties of tea infusers that are much more durable. I bought one similar to the Finum brewing basket. They may say for mugs but actually fit nicely in the glass tea pot and hold at east two good spoonfuls of loose tea.
