My Pros and Cons,
I like the fact that the ceramic infuser, lid and mug can be stored together to free up some space and that all three pieces match BUT tiny pieces of my loose leaf tea gets stuck in the infuser’s holes every time I use it.
Since the holes on the infuser are small, it’s pretty difficult to get the particles out just by washing/rinsing out the item. I sometimes poke out the stuck tea leaves with the metal point of a really small-gauge (.3mm) mechanical pencil (the only thing I have around the office that fits the holes) but since I like my tea every morning, I usually end up just leaving the particles in there and refilling the mug with more tea leaves + yesterday’s tea pieces stuck in the infuser. (I make sure to sanitize the mug and infuser by scalding the pieces with steaming hot water.)
I don’t regret purchasing this product. I just wish there were an easier way to really clean everything.

|Good Mug, A Little Pricey and One Flaw,
REVIEW UPDATE: on the second cup of tea the glass split in half right down the side. I would now have to rate this junk. It is going back to Bed, Bath and Beyond.
I had a tea mug we bought in Chinatown in Chicago many years ago and the lid broke. It took a long time to find a replacement. I like to have a lid on my mug so the tea or coffee doesn’t get cold so darn fast, and this does the trick. I was less interested in the diffuser as I usually make a pot or use bags.
There is two things that annoy me about this mug.
The price for one, but they are so hard to find I coughed it up. Almost […] bucks for a mug made in China is ridiculous, but they got you. I bought mine at Bed Bath and Beyond retail store, not online, for 14.99, but they were out of stock and I had to pay S/H, so it was a wash compared to Amazon (with free shipping).
The second thing is the lid, and it’s a pretty bad flaw. In the picture it looks like a functioning handle on the lid, it is not. The handle grasp is narrow with no lip. Good luck trying to pick the lid up by this handle, it just slips out of your hands. You have to use the sides of the lid. When the lid is hot from tea be careful, or you will be dropping this lid and buying another mug. Use a potholder or have nimble fingers.

|TeaSpot Steepin’ Mug,
Excellent quality, no imperfections, and the tea mug accomplishes it’s intended purpose – to make a good cup of tea. Some reviewers had mentioned that loose tea would become wedged in the steeping holes of the infuser, but I haven’t experienced that problem. Microwavable and dishwasher safe, with a very reasonable price tag. A solid value.
