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!

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

Strains fine substances out.

I use for coffee grounds. Almost perfect.
