What material is the infuser made of?

The infuser is made of glass, and it is not a good infuser if you are a frequent tea drinker (too slow to infuse, doesn't allow water to circulate into leaves well, and is hard to clean). However, if you purchase an appropriately sized metal tea infuser (see my review for details), this pot will work wonderfully to brew all teas (it retains heat VERY well!)

I believe it is made out of stainless steel. I've enjoyed this product, it's great for dicing herbs.

There are 4 parts: Cup, infuser, lid with a hole to drink out of, and a cap on the top.

I have the 48 oz maker and it holds about 45 oz with the infuser in place without over flowing. The infuser really doesn't take up much since it is mostly screen.

About 3 inches tall. The infuser is larger at the top 2 inches wide and smaller at the bottom about 1 1/2.

I honestly am not sure what it said it was made of, when I got it. But it seems like nylon - (it's slick and comes clean better than my reusable teabags. It keeps from staining like teabags as well). I hope that helps.

Hi Katie! The slotted infuser insert is 4 inches long, and one and 1/4 inches in diameter. It can be pushed up into the cap of the infuser, or I prefer to just let it sit in the bottom, as the fruit will continue flavoring the water when the water level gets low. I LOVE my infuser, have had it for quite a while now, and have found it to be VERY sturdy. I'm not gentle with my things, and this has proven itself to be rugged. I have it with me all day, every day. I know you wouldn't be disappointed with this purchase. Best Wishes, Ann

It's stainless steel, and I've been using my tea pot for well over a month pretty much on a daily basis, it works great!

I don't know, but the infuser has an adapter so it can be either 7.5" or 10.5" long.

My guess, it's a rubberized silicon blend of some sort. It stays cool, grips well and makes hanging on to a hot pot easy. The more I use this pot the better I like it. Use it every day. Heat water for tea and coffee.

I dont know .. but let me say these felliway defusers melt after a very short period .. should be ceramic not plastic ! I would love to find a different difuser as its a big expense replacing these all the time .. the product does work well though ..

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.

I ditched the glass infuser long ago and use a stainless steel, classic 1 cup infuser from TEAVANA. No plugging of leaves and possibility of breaking. It's about 3 inches tall. I lucked out and bought a few on a clearance sale a couple of years ago. They don't have the same model anymore. The closest I can find on their site is the cool touch tea strainer. My older version is entirely made of stainless steel; no silicone top. Check it out in one of their stores and see if you think it will work for you.

There is no infuser. The opening in the porcelain pot is about 2" maybe 2.5" ( I didn't measure it.) My husband puts in loose leaf tea and strains it when he pours. We started using this in Aug 2013 and have had no problems over the last 8 mo. My husband uses it everyday, and on the weekend it's on all day.

Yes, very simply pull it out of the top. My model has a soft rubber gasket which holds the infuser in place.

Best infuser I have ever owned. The EO will and do discolor the plastic interior, but I have not found a diffuser that does not discolor with the EO. This unit is wood and plastic with a glass bowl cover and a remote control to use the unit. I have had this for about two and a half years, but do not use it daily and so far, I have not had issues. Young Living is a high quality and responsive company and I have not had issues with them over the years.
