The infuser is roughly quarter cup. The whole pot makes about 2 cups of tea.

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.

I'd say it's standard sized. It fills the opening at the top all the way across probably an inch and a half down. Suffice to say this pots so small, you would be hard pressed to make weak tea in it....

I am assuming the infuser is the strainer type piece that sits down inside. If so that would hold about 1/2 cup.

Yep. FYI, the holes are kind of big, so it's not the best infuser for finer loose teas.

The strainer is pretty fine. I usually put sencha green tea in it which is a little on the large side, but I purchased some mint tea leaves that were tiny. A few strain through but overall, it works well. I typically put one heaping tablespoon and there's usually room for a little more.

3 and 1/8" on the teapot and 3" on the infuser. The reason for me to get this teapot was I want a glass only teapot, so I can't answer your question. Metal infuser may be better than a glass infuser, but it definitely decreases the beauty of the teapot.

approx, 4 -3/4" high x 3-1/2" wide Hope that sufficiently answers your question. Best tea I have ever had

Almost 4 inch long, I would say. One big strawberry to fit in normally if you are looking at the width. I hope it helps. I usually add mint leaves and I cut cucumbers and add it to the infuser. Strawberries if small can be put in normally. But the big one you will have to cut it is half to give it some breathing room.

it's about 1.5 to 2 inches. roughly the size of a small golf ball. I usually fill it about 1/3 full and it will make 3 or 4 cups of tea

I will have to ask my granddaughter as I bought it for her. It is roughly the same size as my own teapot which holds 4 12oz. cups.

truly depends on how strong you like your tea...I use about 1 Tablespoon for an entire pot of tea (no idea how many ounces that is) but I also allow 3-5minutes for steeping for STRONG tea. I have found that this tea has a very full flavor. Sorry I can't be more precise.

I make mine strong. I use a tea spoon I got from teavana. I measured and it is a teaspoon I use 1per 8 ounces. If I mix it with a flavor I use 2 spoon of Irish and 1 spoon of the flavor and mix it with 16 to 20 ounces of water.

From a customer review about this product: "The infuser itself measures 2-1/4" tall by 2-1/4" wide at the top and 2" wide at the bottom. The handle from tip to tail is 5-1/4". The handle is welded to unit, and cannot be removed."

It actually holds quite a bit of tea, but it cannot be a real fine tea, because the tea leaves will go right into the cup. In other words the holes in the diffuser are a little too big. I brew my tea first and pour into the cup.

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.

4 tablespoons seems like a lot of tea to put into 12 oz. This infuser will certainly work well for 4 teaspoons. For 4 tablespoons, it will hold that much tea, but the water circulation while brewing won't be very good, I think.

The infuser basket is removable. I find that the basket is fine for bulky teas, just let the tea steep for longer and save on herbs in the long run! I do think that the basket could be replaced with a longer one but find it unnecessary do to the reason mentioned above. Less is more. : )

Hello, The pot we purchased was 18/10 and is very sturdy and has held up very well to use. We have enjoyed using it. However, it is not a pot for use in steeping a single cup. It takes about 24 ounces of water to cover the infuser well enough steep a pot of tea. If you are steeping tea for two or more it is great, but it would not work for a single cup. I hope this helps!

Good question, I purchased the G&H; Tea Services Paris Tea-Cup Fits 2-1/2-Inch to 4-Inch openings Use in teapots or teacups. this is the best tea infuser ever! However, the depth of two inches is perfect but the top of four inches protrudes out of the pot. I steep in a separate container then transfer. The teapot top opening is Two and one-quarter inches across. I hope this is helpful.
