Rating : - Mine Gets Daily Use!
I'm VERY happy with this filter, which gets used 4-5 times a day. It's great to enjoy my favorite tea (Barry's Gold) in loose form instead of bags, which provides a much more complex taste.

I've used this in several different cups of varying shapes and sizes without difficulty. I've had the filter for about 6 months now, and it looks and performs as good as the day I first used it.

The lid that doubles as a drip tray is a brilliant design feature. No drips from counter to sink!

I normally just dump the used tea out and rinse the remainder out with water. Pretty easy to clean with a soapy cloth, which I only need to do about once a week.

Thanks swissgold!
