Do you remove the infuser basket before drinking from this tumbler?

Yes... Unless you want to drink a bunch of tea leaves. The basket has no top to hold the tea in place while drinking.

Hello, No I don't, you don't need to do it. But you should know that you cant leave the tea leaves into hot water more than 3 minutes. so, I serve one cup of tea and the water level goes under the basket, and you dont need to remove it, but if you are going to carrie it It would be better if you dispense the used leaves, you can put the basket again, the water goes through the basket.

Yes, after the leaves steep, remove the strainer and put the lid back on to drink from it. We've had ours for a year now and we still love them! Tea stays hot for hours!!!

Yes, as a matter of fact, the spring loaded flap on the lid that closes when the straw is removed also keeps the straw from moving around on its own. I just shook an empty tumbler with the straw inside and the straw never moved or made a sound, even without any liquid in the glass. This is a great tumbler!

Yes, it is the same level of snug with or without the infuser. The infuser is secured to the middle of the lid.

I don't drink from it or any of the other infusers I and my wife use. We use travel mugs or regular cups to drink from cause we add honey to them, raw honey.

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

On the handle of the lid there is a button to push, that releases the top so you can flip it open. After you do that, turn the infuser counter clock-wise to loosen it. Then grab the infuser's handle and pull it through the top. Reverse to place it back in.

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.

The strainer is a very decliate thing. If you push too hard, it will definitely go through into the tumbler. However, if you apply the correct amount of force, there are little ridges to allow the strainer to click in place. It has not been an issue for me when actually drinking tea (has never fallen, ect), but it's a tiny bit difficult to actually place the strainer in the correct position.

Breaking the top is definitely what happens! We have broken two. We never found the top alone (of course!) but did find a top-and-basket duo, what they call "infuser and lid", at AMazon. Search for "grosche infuser" -- the idiot robot at Amazon won't let me give you the URL.

No. You don't need to remove. But these are a waste of money. Coffee quality terrible compared to K-Cup. Wish I hadn't bought.

Not really. I take the basket out before I pour the coffee. Sometimes, if I don't put the basket lid on well enough, the boiling will make it come off a little, but that's operator error. Make sure the lid is tight on the basket and it will be fine.

Yes! you can put the lid on without the infuser too....enjoy the blooming tea...I love this pot

You will get leaves in your mouth if you do. Leaving the basket in is just for steeping your tea if you're in a rush. I have however found that over time this makes the mesh on the basket more susceptible to bending & flexing

No, the pop-off lid and the plastic insert are part of what makes up the screw-off top. You screw off (sorry for the redundancy) the entire top to drink. Hopefully that explains it.

no the tea leaves goes in the mug main body and then you place the basket or filter on so it will keep the leaves in when drinking

Yes, the infuser actually screws into the lid so you can use it without the infuser.

You can drink from the cup. The infuser actually lifts up inside so you don't have to have super strong tea. Works as a tea travel mug.
