My mug is 4 inches wide. will this infuser rest evenly on top of the mug or will one side fall into the mug?

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 infuser will definitely not rest evenly on top of the mug, it is designed for a 3 inch mug, but it will work perfectly fine. I just tested it on a 4 inch mug and the handle keeps the infuser level. If you lip one side with the infuser and the handle of the infuser lips the other side it fits level. If you bump it and it "falls into" the mug, it just falls about a half inch into the mug, then jimmies sideways and works fine. Either case it will work. You might want to not will the cup to the brim in case the infuser falls into it.

It fits the current 3 1/2" wide [outside edge measurement], Fiesta mug. The lip on the metal strainer is 3 3/8" diameter which rests perfectly on the Fiesta mug. After you remove the strainer. the lid covers this type mug perfectly to keep your tea hot.

It depends on the width of the mug you use, if your mug is wider than the top of the infuser, then steam will still escape around the sides. Doesn't matter though, they still work great at infusing. :-)

I have a 16 oz Tervis tumbler also. It will not fit under the coffee outlet, even with bottom removed, in a normal fashion. It likes about 1/4" sitting perfectly upright like a cup would. However, I can and do put my Tervis there and put coffee in it.

The burlwood side becomes the bottom of the unit when opened. Hence the cup rests on that surface. Arms unfold to hold the top of the cup.

Yes, you can. There are 2 handles. The smaller one is approximately 1 inch, the other approximately 2 inches. It is simple to lift the infuser with only the longer handle after your tea is the right strength. The handles do not fold upward, only down. It's quite sturdy, actually. If you purchase this handy little item, I hope you enjoy!

No it does not, there is 3/4 of an inch between the infuser and the pot when it's fully seated

The whole infuser is just under six and a half inches. The slot for the tea is about three inches.

The best answer to your question I can give you is there are 4 tab's that hold it to the mug so it does not slide off;from one tab to the other tab is 3"3/4 hope it helps you

Across the top mine is 4 1/4 inches while the basket is 2 1/4 inches across. It fits my largest hot cocoa mug as well as my smallest tea cup.

Just off the top of my head, I would say it may fall over if it's in the top ring. I always put things in the lower part of the holder and use it as an insert to my regular cup holder, to cut down the chance of spills.

Mine isn't stiff at all, so it must have been the one you were looking at. The way the hinge is made it really should not be a problem. I use my infuser when cooking soups for peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, etc.. All of the things I later get rid of. Works great for me!

This infuser actually floats to the top of my mug. You should not have any trouble. I use a tall mug myself and I do not have any problems.

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.

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.

Sorry, no. It is designed tor rest in the top of a cup. The top must remain above the top of the liquid. It is nice and deep,though.

No, the lip that holds in on the cup edge would prevent that. I do think it would be plenty to keep heat from escaping too much while the tea steeps.Edit: actually, I think I have to take this back. if you don't flip it upside down, but just rest in on top, it does fit snuggly in the infuser. but... there will still be room around the edges of the infuser and your mug. I wouldn't call this a downside of the infuser. This one is my favorite.
