WMF Small Teaball with Mesh Strainer Review

Based on the review about it getting stuck, I was sort of worried, but I wanted a solid tea infuser, and not one made in China (this one is made in Germany). I thought it got stuck for me once, but realized I was twisting the wrong way. Just be sure you twist the part without the chain counter-clockwise. It holds a good amount of tea, which is good because I like a little bit stronger tea than what is in standard bags. You will get some tea in the bottom of your cup, but it's very little, and I think hard to avoid with any infuser. It does take up a bit of space, so I end up filling my cup close to the brim while it steeps. As infusers go, it is relatively thick metal, so it will retain heat. After it's done I just wash it with cold water, and open it over the trash. Easy to clean, and ready to use again. There's a big one for kettles too, which I might get next.

Adagio Teas PersonaliTea 24-Ounce Ceramic Teapot with Infuser Basket Review

I LOVE this teapot. It's the perfect size for a BIG mug of tea, or several smaller cups, it looks great, and if I don't fill it all the way to the top, which I seldom do, anyway, I have no dripping problems.
I fill it with water, pop it in the microwave, then when the water's hot, pop in my tea screen with the tea, and it's great.
THE ONLY THING I would caution you about is not to wait till the last-minute to order a teapot!
This was the fourth teapot I'd ordered, trying to get one that was not broken or missing a part.
The other two teapots were "Yedi Houseware Classic Coffee and Tea Blue Saphyre Tea For One"
Both the original one, and its replacement were horribly broken. Packaging was the problem, and they didn't change it from one order to the next, so I will not order from YEDI again, unless there's something I HAVE to have.
I finally switched to THIS teapot, my second choice, and the first one I received didn't have the metal screen/strainer in it, so I had to send it back and get a new one.
It WAS packaged right, however, both times, with little plastic protector on the spout, and adequate protection.

I was pleased at Amazon's customer service.

They overnight-shipped the replacements to me, and service was WONDERFUL and quick, but if you're a procrastinator and need it for a gift, you may want to order items like this (that have pieces/parts that could be missing or broken)well in advance, just in case.
Enjoy!

Cozy up to a favorite soul-warming brew with help from this 21-ounce personal-size teapot. Sleek, compact, and attractively simple, the elegant pot's glossy ceramic construction ensures excellent heat retention--which means water stays hotter longer for cup after cup of soothing tea. Furthermore, its large stainless-steel infuser basket allows ample room for tea leaves to fully unfurl when brewing spicy, fruity, or savory teas right in the pot. To use, simply fill the basket with loose tea leaves, place it into the water-filled base, and seal with the included ceramic cover, steeping to reach the desired flavor. The pot can also be used to heat plain water for pouring over conventional in-the-mug tea bags, or to fill with coffee, cider, or other beverages to keep close at hand when working or in the evening when curling up with a book. Equipped with a large ergonomic handle and drip-free spout, the handsome pot transports easily from the kitchen to the table or sitting room, and it can go safely in the microwave and dishwasher for quick heating and cleanup. The 21-ounce personal-size teapot measures approximately 6 by 7 by 3-1/2 inches.
