Is the infuser removeable? Wondering if I can use it an a different cup. Maybe either another cup with similar threaded screw top edging...

The infuser is removable if you just want to use the cup without it. I don't know how well the actual infuser will fit with another cup because the infuser is smaller than the size of the whole lid. It has a smaller threaded screw edge in the middle.

Yeah, it's removable. I suppose it could be used with another cup; Target might have one.

You can use the glass part on its own but the lid will only fit on top when sitting on the infuser.

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.

There is a metal insert to support the lid and to hold the infuser basket. You can remove the infuser without removing the insert.

It sticks out of the tea cup for sure! But I think that's the concept behind it-make it look like its the sinking Titanic ship. when you fill it properly the tea still infuses properly. We have not had any issues with it.

Yes. The rounded top screws off completely where it meets the rest of the cup. It's opening is about the size of my fist, maybe a little smaller.

On the handle of the lid there is a button to push, that releases the top so you can flip it open. After you do that, turn the infuser counter clock-wise to loosen it. Then grab the infuser's handle and pull it through the top. Reverse to place it back in.

If you slide the dual opening spout off, you can put the travel mug under the single opening remaining. Push the button on the top of the silver dual spout and pull off. I do this all the time...then replace it again for my regular mugs. As a single person...I've saved lots of money by NOT wasting coffee by making too much...PLUS I can have a really good cup (any size) at any time with no fuss!

No, you just steep the tea depending on the type of tea it is and take it off the cup. I love mine.

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.

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 could feel the stem (I have the size 1 cup) and it was very irritating, so I cut it off. You don't need it to pull the cup out.

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

Absolutely! The infuser is a screen mesh material, so you could either put your tea bag below it and just ignore it completely while you drink your tea (usually what I do) or you could lay the tea bag on top of the infuser and fill with hot water. If you do this you would need to remove the tea bag before drinking as it would be next to your mouth, but either way it works fine. Sometimes I just throw a tea bag in with the sip-thru lid instead of the infuser as the drinking hole is small enough the tea bag won't come through.

This is an double wall insulated cup that you can remove the inside cup by unscrewing them apart.. This is a cup that Starbucks no longer offers, you can only get the single cup version.

Yes cup can be removed for alternate mounting options. You will need to make your own bracket to complete mounting without the cup.

No, Guinevere, it doesn't and it doesn't have an removable infuser included either. This is a nuisance if you don't already have an infuser that fits. I do (happy accident.) You might want to use it for white, green and oolong teas and thinking of multiple infusions. But it is usually best to pull the leaves out while you drink your tea so you don't leave the happy realm of perfectly steeped tea into the dank dungeon of stewed tea. In short, you need a infuser. I love this tea pot for its blue color and its size, but it does drip. Karon
