Can the black plastic dish go over the top to act as a lid during the infusion too?

It can certainly be placed on the top during infusion, but does not fit like a lid.This is an excellent item!

Yes, it would fit over the infuser. I don't think it was designed for that purpose, but it could work!

The lid itself is too small to fit over most coffee mugs, at least mine. It would just sink to the bottom if you tried. It's only about 2 inches across so if you have a particularly small tea cup, it might work.

It can sit on top of the basket. Depending on the circumference of your cup, more or less steam will escape outside the perimeter of the basket, but it's a very minor issue.

I don't think so I put it up to a lid I have and it is a little bigger than the lid.

There is no top when it's flipped over it acts as a lid to the unit. It is open to the air but I use one whole container so there isn't ussually water sitting in it.

Very. The lid is a screw top and has to be aligned perfectly. This isn't easy as you can't really see what you're doing because the top is so much wider than the base. After the third or fourth time filling it up, it was so tight and challenging to unscrew, the glass cracked and the whole thing was ruined. We trashed it after only 4 months. It is beautiful though.

Sorry Flo, This lid just sits on top of the container and would fall off if the holder was turned over.

Yes, the large dish seals very tightly--almost hard to affix the top because it is such a snug fit.

Yes. I would suggest that the rack is covered with foil just in case of over-flow.

Yes. The top screws off (the black plastic top is separate from the metal container).

Hmmm. I don't use an infuser basket with this so I'm not sure I know exactly what you are asking but it does have threading in the cap. I just don't know how the basket would work. I do think they make some special with the basket included just for that purpose.

I set the infused on the lid with no problem :) it's not completely flat but it's flat enough for it to not fall off.

No. The pour spout in the glass will allow liquid to flow out even with the lid turned away from the spout.

Yes, you can sip with the lid in place. It doesn't spill but if it fell over, It would. The bottom pad came off the bottom and the handle is peeling. Also, you can NOT put this in the dishwasher because water gets inside and will leak out when you are using the cup. I would not get this one again.

Yes. The base of the infuser fits in the lid when it is turned upside down.

I've never really used it but the black piece of the lid you see in the picture can be turned to allow liquid through a small opening in the lid.

YES!!!!!!! As long as the top bottle does not have a weird shape causing it to be unballanced.David.

It can be used without the infuser but I don't know if the lid will fit as well. Have not tried that.

no, the top just has holes like a salt shaker. I was not able to take the lid off to put anything inside so I returned them as unusable.
