Strainer piece Is the strainer piece removable? Can it be removed for cleaning or just to use the funnel mouth for liquids with large chunks (that you want to keep)?

Absolutely. Easy to remove.. it just nestles in there and pops out easily from underneath.

Yep! According to the manufacturer's site, the strainer can piece can be removed. Here's what they said: "Easily wash your veggies, fruits, meat, and pasta and filter gravy, sauces, and other liquids with this dual function funnel and strainer. With a removable strainer made of durable, heat resistant silicone, this tool won't warp, rust, or corrode."

Yes the strainer comes with it. You can contact the seller. I contacted the seller for something else and their service was excellent.

There is only one hole that allows liquid through it on mine, when poured through the top of the funnel. There are some other holds in the circular plastic piece at the bottom, but they have no purpose that I have seen.

The divider can not be removed. I used it twice and yes the liquid from one side will seep slowly to the other side :(

I leave mine in all the time. It's easy to remove and then use the scraper to put the larger sized pieces down the drain. The way it's built the smaller sizes of food goes down the drain without removing it. Mine sits flush or a little below the drain.

There is a tea strainer that comes with the tea pot. The strainer doesn't have a handle so it is not convenient to remove the tea strainer after steeping since it fits into a groove along the top where the tea pot lid fits snugly.

The strainer / filter is held in place buy the 3" round abrasive disk. The disk has two holes in it. There is a tool which came with the juicer, which is used to loosen the disk. Line the two prongs up with the two holes in the abrasive disc, and turn counter clockwise to loosen.To reinstall, reverse steps but do not over tighten the abrasive disc.

It funnels, but honestly, I do not use it much given concerns about wirt contamination concerns...it just becomes one more object in need of sanitizing and such...it is also way too large for what I use. I regret bothering to buy it.

As you can see by the picture of this item, the funnell flairs out and would fit into the jar. The small end of the funnel is about one inch in diameter and the strainer can be removed and put in place to strain larger items from your liquid. I use it to strain cooking oil after I use it for french frying when particles are left behind from the flour coating.

Yes! There are drainage holes throughout the entire base of the strainer. The solid base piece is an open ring and does not impede drainage at all. It is a fabulous strainer. I have had both sizes for several years now and love them. Best strainers I have ever had, and they are very easy to clean.

No, I do not think the strainers would be able to filter out "fine/small particles" -- the perforations are "slits" approx 1/8" high x 3/4" wide (this is my best guess, anyway). There is a strainer on the lip portion of the pitcher, but it too is "comb-like". I think it's a bit closer spacing, but I still do not think it will filter out very small particles (ie, when some of my mint leaves have broken apart, every now and then one will slip on through -- and those mint pieces are considerably larger than a loose tea leaf -- I think? Idea: Maybe you could brew the "tea" first, let it cool, and then add in whatever other ingredients you want (larger herb leaves, or fruit, etc) to the pitcher? I do this when making any teas with fresh ginger -- I make a ginger tea first, let it cool, and then I add in lemon slices, mint leaves, and cucumber slices (this is from the spa water recipe featured on Dr Oz). The original recipe i found online called for "grated fresh ginger", but I didn't like the texture of grated ginger in my drink.

Yes! Never thought to do that but I don't mind pulpy OJ so just tried it. Works fine. The stainless steel strainer is removable.

No, there was not a strainer included in the one I purchased, but that was over six months ago so I don't know if one is included currently.

Yes, the strainer is removable. I want to add that I have been very pleased with this tea pot. It is made using quality glass, it is light and the best part is that it is transparent. I like being able to see the changing color of my tea as it is being steeped. The strainer is large and easy to clean.

The drain/strainer is NOT included. I bought a nice black strainer kit from Menards and it matched perfectly!

I'm not sure what you mean by clean it. After almost a year of use, it has never had a reduced water flow, which would be the only reason that I would know of for cleaning. I also have very hard water, but no buildup that reduces water either. I would imagine you can replace the strainer, or clean it if needed, but haven't had to do anything at this time. I realize this doesn't answer you, but it all I can tell you at this time.
