AUEAR2 Pack Different Size Stainless Steel Mini Strainer Fine Mesh Tea Funnel Coffee Filter with Double Handles

I drink both tea and coffee. My cheap strainer but I like, got handle broke off. I got probably a dozen of tea balls which is useless bc I don’t drink wimpy tea. I like a strainer with handle that can lay over and across your coffee cup. I brew my tea in thermos and let it sit for a long time to get it stronger. Then I’d need a strainer to sit over my mug to strain the leaves out when I pour into the cup so handle is a must. I looked up many strainers and even the expensive ones all have weak spot where the handles are attached to the straining mesh. This strainer had handle integrated as part of the ring that holds the mesh bowl so it is very sturdy and looks like it will never break off. I like this design a lot.At first, I looked at the tiny area of the mesh and though this would not work because the tea leaves will clog it real fast but I just have a teaspoon handy to scoop it off and there’s no problem, a small prize for how indestructible this strainer seems to be. I hope the mesh holds up. But at this prize, I don’t mind getting a new set of the mesh is unusable.What I didn’t expect is how fine the mesh is. I also drink coffee, Turkish-strong kind. My coffee is finely ground and I have to hand pour the hot water to maximize extraction of every bits of it that no machine can make it strong enough, an espresso machine maybe but I don’t want to get a huge gadget to brew me a tiny cup of coffee. I own several designs of coffee makers, percolator, French press and Primula is the last one I got. Two things I dislike about these gadgets are because the Turkish-fine ground coffee I use, it’s a pain to wash and some fine ground gets in my coffee. I like to DRINK coffee, not to eat it though. So I tried making coffee with my Primula pot and strained it through this strainer. Lo and behold, it so fine that it catches these mud of fine coffee out of it. I’m so happy I don’t mind washing the dang pot!

Strains fine substances out.

the extra tab on the far side, so it has a tab on both sides, is money. This is what I needed to set it on the Gong Dao Bei.

A little thinner and lighter than my original tea strainer, but work just fine.

Makes the best fire cracker powder I wouldn’t settle for anything less

I bought this to filter medium ground (Starbucks) coffee. I also have an ultra-fine strainer that works great for tea filtration and reasonably well for coffee filtration. But too much coffee silt was left at the bottom of my cup using the ultra-fine strainer so I wanted to see if this would work better. First, I discovered I can't filter 12-oz of coffee in even the larger of the two included strainers. As more grounds pour out with the liquid in the metal cup above the strainer, the grounds pack tightly over the super-fine but tiny mesh and prevent the coffee liquid from falling down into the cup below. I've stood by for more than 7-minutes while the 2-oz the "large" strainer holds just sat there slowly dripping ever-more-bitter coffee into my cup. So I went back to using my ultra-find conical handheld strainer to strain coffee from grounds.I've kept these small strainers for another purpose. I pour the last 1-2 ounces of already-filtered coffee from the vessel holding the coffee into the cup I'm drinking from. This eliminates nearly all grounds from my drinking cup. The two sizes offered--smaller and larger--work with nearly any cup thanks to the two lips. And the screens seem securely attached to the lips. These cups would work well to catch small tea-leaf bits that escape a traditional strainer, too.Overall, these strainers only remove remaining bits from already-strained beverages. The straining surface is too small to strain more than an ounce of liquid--and that with very few solid particles suspended in the liquid. For what these strainers do, we find the price too high since you need another strainer to do most of the work.

Simple and easy to clean. Catches the finest bit of debris from all teas. Two sizes that fit just about every fairness cup I have used them with.

I was initially skeptical as other similar things weren't able to filter out the finer particles of my tea leaves but this does a really good job. Pleasantly surprised and would buy again for this use.

Good sturdy construct. Easy to clean.

Love these. We have just started using leaf tea and although the teapot had a bucket and fine strainer inside it still let a few small bits and what i call “mud” through. But these strainers eliminate all of the residue im very happy with them

I use for coffee grounds. Almost perfect.
