Snap Ball Tea Strainer, Exptolii 3 Pack Stainless Steel Tea Infuser Filter with Handle for Loose Leaf Tea, Spices, Seasonings

I absolutely love this stainless steel tea ball strainer! The build quality is outstanding — it feels solid and durable, not flimsy like some of the cheaper options out there. I’ve been using it daily, and it still looks brand new with no rust or wear. No issues with how to open and refine with wonderful tea. The sleek, polished design adds a touch of elegance to my tea setup, and it’s easy to clean afterward. It works perfectly for loose leaf tea — the mesh is fine enough to keep even the smallest leaves from escaping, while still allowing the tea to steep beautifully. If you enjoy brewing loose leaf tea and want something that’s both functional and stylish, I highly recommend this one

I bought these for my high-caf tea after reading that the teabags are great at feeding you plastic. These work pretty well. They are a bit tough to close b/c the tea gets in the seam but you learn how to make it work. We'll see how they hold up, but you get three so the set should last awhile. They seem well made.

I purchased this item due to its claims about size and tight closure, and the handle design. My purpose was to use it to add and stir Balance Grow honey, citron & ginger tea to hot water. This tea is a gel and pulp (incredibly delicious). I thought this item would help strain the pulp (which is edible, but I don't always want to do so). Because you can only fill half of the strainer (it opens vertically), it's a little difficult to get the full amount I want into it. I had to use it 2-3 times to get the strength I want, but it did stir and the tea dissolved leaving the pulp behind. Hence only 4 stars total and for ease of use. Otherwise, I think for teas other than the gel type, it is easy to use. PROS: closes tightly, easy to open and close due to the uniquely shaped handle. Probably great for loose-leaf tea and instant coffee. The dimensions are listed; however, the photos are misleading as to the size relative to the hand holding the item - it looks larger than the dimensions stated. I was able to rinse this out and/or put in my dishwasher and it was fully cleaned. I can't rate this on sturdiness, since I've only just received it and used it once.

This came just as ordered and very quickly. This type of tea strainer works quite well.

The Exptolii Snap Ball Tea Strainer is a joy to use, thanks to its well-thought-out design. The elastic, no-slip handle makes filling the infuser a breeze—simply squeeze to open, scoop in your desired amount of tea, and release to secure the contents. The handle’s length is a thoughtful touch, keeping fingers safely away from hot water and making it easy to maneuver the infuser in and out of mugs or teapots. I found it perfectly sized for standard cups, fitting comfortably without overcrowding, and the lightweight design ensured it didn’t tip or sink during steeping. Cleaning is equally hassle-free, as the infusers are dishwasher-safe, though I often opted for a quick rinse under warm water, which removed all residue effortlessly. The snap mechanism proved consistently reliable, with no instances of the ball popping open unexpectedly, even when filled with denser contents like spices for mulled wine. Unlike bulkier infusers, the compact size allowed me to store all three easily in a drawer or take one along for travel, making it a versatile addition to my tea collection. The three-pack design is a thoughtful inclusion, perfect for households with multiple tea drinkers or for gifting to fellow enthusiasts.

The product is just okay. In most cases loose leaves leak out of this items so I have to strain tea.

I like it my old one broke so is perfect replacement

It works very well. Even with old hands it's easy enough to use. I recommend.
