If I understand your question correctly, I don't think this will do what you want. This product has a removable basket that comes out of the main cylinder, which would be quite messy on the road.

This one won't do that. I got another travel mug from theculturedcup.com that should work for you. It's a new product, so you'll need to email to ask for it. The mug is made by Planetary Design. It has an infuser tube with a solid bottom section that stops brewing when you depress the French press style plunger. If you want to reinfuse your tea all you have to do is remove the plunger and add more water. Bed Bath and Beyond also carries these. The cost is about $30.

The reason the capacity is smaller than expected is that, with the infuser is in place, the liquid tends to boil over. So it is best not to fill it too full and let it simmer without boiling over. After removing the infuser, the pouring is quite easy, without dripping.

Not really sure about this. The infusing core screws into the lid. The infusing core however has slits in it. I've filled it the pitcher with water by lifting up the lid and pouring the water directly into the infusing core. The lid itself screws on. To get liqid out, you have to partially unscrew the lid so I would assume that you could shake it.

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.

Yes, it is! that's why I bought this tea pot -- the expensive one I bought at a store didn't sell replacements. Anyway - go to their website sunstea.com and search for "replacement infuser" and find the one for your tea pot

Sure, but if you just stuffed a tea bag in there it would take longer to brew. A better way might be to cut the bag open and pour the loose tea into the infuser.

I have a tea chest like this one and the latch just flips up in front. Just pull the bottom of the metal latch up.

haven't tried to use loose leaf tea - I usually put in 4-5 bags of regular tea, then set it in the sun without using the infuser BUT I just checked the infuser out and there are really alot of slots - maybe 3/8" by 1/8" - maybe you could put the loose tea in a very fine silk bag in the infuser (but now that I think that through, you wouldn't really need the infuser...But I do LOVE the size, shape and feel of this product - good luck...and now that I've said that, I read the other responses so it sounds like we're all in agreement tho peppermint or mint would definitely work...

Ted, I have two of these infusers and have used them in similar fashion to what you are asking. Although I have never put two regular tea bags inside I will say that I use two teaspoons of loose tea with plenty of room to spare. So in answer to your question I believe yes you would be able to put two regular tea bags into this infused at the same time. Hope this helps!

If I understand your question correctly: if the mouth of the container (diameter) is wider than the distance between the hooked side and the end of the flat handle, then I don't think the infuser would stay in place (although perhaps you could use pliers to bend the hook further so that it clutches the rim of the container?). If the other side of the container's mouth will support the flat handle side, it's fine. I hope that helps!

I didn't measure my infuser, but I am pretty sure it is less than 4 inches wide. You'd have to use a smaller mug, or just set the infuser in your large mug. As long as the infuser isn't completely submerged, I think it will still strain out the tea. I have never tried it with a large mug, though.

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.

You are absolutely right. I have both and only the tea infuser is really necessary. The only plus to having two is that you don't have to worry about getting fruit taste in your tea. It's hard to wash the units because you can't get your hand down more than a third of the way.

You can drink from the cup. The infuser actually lifts up inside so you don't have to have super strong tea. Works as a tea travel mug.

I checked the infuser and it holds almost half a cup in it. It is very large for the size of the pot which holds 2.5 to 3 cups of liquid. I think you would be able to make very strong tea with it.

Yes you can! Do you see a tiny handle on top at the right side of the picture? This handle pulls down the infuser into the water, when the time is up just lift up the infuser using the handle and drink your tea. That's why it's so wonderful! I've never found a tea mug on-the-go so smart for tea lovers.

I love a nice oversize tea mug and collecting them. With my holder I can hang a mug by the handle and also hang a mug by the the cup on the same hook. But you would have to be careful of how heavy the bottom of the glass is because it might slide off the hook. I do love mine but again I am only using mugs.
