Is this infuser large enough to hold two regular sized tea bags at once? For example, one pepperment and one rooibos at the same time?

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!

The whole point of the infuser is to keep loose tea leaves together, and out of the tea you are drinking. If you have two tea bags, wouldn't you just put those directly in the water?

Are you talking about emptying them into the tea ball? Otherwise, why bother. I usually don't fill mine too full to allow for the leaves to expand. The tea ball is a 1.5" sphere. I really like it! If I have too much finely cut leaves, I pour the tea thru one of my K-cup coffee holders as they have very fine mesh and catch the small particles before drinking.

Yes, it can contain 2 tea bags, each 2g. But you must keep the bag, otherwise it will leak broken tea.

The Good Grips Twisting Tea Ball has a 1.5 inch diameter; therefore, it's possible to cram two tea bags into it but am not sure how easy it would be to twist the ball "close" or how well it would ultimately work. Should you be comfortable emptying the contents of the two tea bags into the infuser like loose-tea, then it would work just fine.

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.

Yes! The holes a fine, but it is definitely meant for tea. Coffee and some herbal infusions might have some issues. I haven't brewed rooibos or chamomile in it loose, and I would expect to see a little sediment from something very fine like that. It's very sturdy and awesome for tea though.

Unless the tea leaves are large (e.g., I use fresh peppermint leaves in my pitcher a lot along with various fruits/vegetables), I wouldn't recommend this pitcher for that use because there is no strainer in the infuser; it's only large slots.

Ryan, ours did not come with a tea infuser. With the strainer on the spout, you don't need one for the blooming tea which is what we use it for. We haven't tried loose tea but it should work for that also. Amazon has one like we normally use for loose tea.

Yes, Republic of Tea tagless tea bags fit perfectly inside of the infuser with plenty of room

I am sure they would work, but you don't need the infuser if you are using a tea bag really anyway.

Yeah, but it's not made for that. You'll probably fit a handful of tea bags only. I also purchased the Stash tea rack and works better.

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.

Probably. each compartment has a biit more space while holding standard sized tea bags.

yes! you just have to squish the tea bag up a bit to fit it in. but it works just fine!

The holes at the base of the spout are appropriately small, though loose tea would probably go through them. The holes "are not pin hole" sized like you would see on an infuser. Stephanie in Virginia Beach

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.

The pyramid box is about the size of a regular tea bag. I'm not a tea drinker, so I don't know what an infuser is, but I'm pretty sure the box I got included only the tea bags (48 of them). I bought this for my daughter last Christmas who fell in love with the tea bags when they were served to her on vacation. They are tasty teas.

you can use it with small ones. I don't think a big tea bag would fit in it. But I have fit small ones in it before.

I measured the infuser, at its narrowest point it measures 55 mmm across. But, it gradually gets larger towards the top, because its shaped like a funnel. So i would have to say no its not gonna fit. I suppose you can force it into your kanteen but you will probably damage it. Sorry.

Sorry, I actually bought it for another use, but I agree with Ashley Hays. Looking at it, each compartment should easily hold 15 tea bags.
