Firstly, at 12 ounces you will definitely get your tea thirst satisfied. But the #1 reason I think this is the the mug to buy is it was pretty much the only one I saw on Amazon that was microwavable. So everything can be done in one cup. No transferring of water required. It's double walled so even at the boiling point you can hold the cup. The outside will be warm but not hot.
The brewing basket will drop into the water via the lever on the side of the cup lid. Once steeping is done just raise the basket by reversing the lever so as not to over steep. The basket construction is made of very fine steel mesh and plastic. The mesh should hold in nearly all types of loose tea. I used a very fine tea and there were only trace amounts that got through. So small they were drinkable bits.
The basket will hold a good 2-3 spoonfuls of tea so you should be able to get your preferred amount in.
This mug does keep the water hot. I actually had...Read more

Excellent mug for loose tea,

I have had this mug now for about 1 month and I use it every day about 5 times each day. It has never broke, got stuck or anything. It infuses the tea perfectly and then when it's done, I just pop the infuser back into the lid. The tea stays warm for about 1 1/2 hours or so. It is great for the car, park or walking to the bus stop. It's easy to clean as well. I highly recommend it.

I happened across this tea mug while shopping several weeks back! I debated whether it was worth the cost and if it was a gadget I'd soon get tired of. To my pleasant surprise, it works wonderfully for me. As loose tea expands so much when brewed, I don't fill the basket super full. (By the way, I also discovered Dilmah loose tea here on Amazon. Wow, what a tea!!) In fact, it seems like I don't need to use as much tea with this mug as with others. What I like the most is that I can brew my tea as weak or strong as I feel like at that moment. When the basket is down, I swirl the water around the tea until it is strong enough. Then the other super thing is that I can lift the basket out of the tea and hide it in the lid until I am done drinking. I have had no problems whatsoever with it leaking or not being able to put the basket up into the lid. I use mine a couple of times a day. I am thinking of getting another one. One more thing! The mug has a separate inner liner that is BPA free...Read more
