GM004 18 OZ

I love brewing tea at work this one is an exceptional value. Easy to use and clean.

I planned to buy a loose herbal tea and searched Amazon for tea brewing items. There are many tall cylindrical ones, but a lot of reviewers said they had flaws, fell apart or were too hot to handle. Some of those are very expensive too. This product is perfect for one large cup of tea. It's very simple to use: put about a tablespoon of tea leaves into the metal unit that fits inside the cup, pour the hot water through, then put the lid on to keep it hot while you steep the tea. Unlike some tea infusers, the holes are very fine. The lid also keeps your tea hot after you take the metal unit out. The glass is thinner than ceramic mugs, so take care while washing. Metal unit is easy to clean; just dump out the used tea leaves and rinse with water. Tip: Depending on the type of tea you're using and how strong you like your tea, you may be able to get several uses out of one tablespoon of tea.

I purchased this mug because I had been using a similar style to brew my tea several times a day, however it was ceramic and dark, so i couldn't see my brew. I am very happy with this mug, love having the glass and seeing my tea and don't think I couldn't do it any other way now. The handle is comfortable, the size of the mug is nice, the lid fits nice, the infuser is good quality, but I don't know how long it would keep your beverage warm because it is very thin and glass is a poor insulator. I keep it on warmer which works very well. On the note of it being thin, the only thing I worry about is a mishap whilst washing or something because I do not anticipate this taking even a minor fall. It feels a little heavier than a lightbulb. But it is affordable and I am going on a couple weeks with no problems thus far, just wouldn't recommend for those with a high clumsy gene.

This is just the best tea mug ever. The clear glass lets you see how strong your tea is getting as you brew it. The infuser keeps even the smallest pieces of herb teas from falling through,it is very easy to clean & you can use it in other mugs. The glass lid keeps the tea warm while brewing and lid doubles,upside down, as a saucer to put the infuser in. Very giftable at a good price. Looks delicate, but I have not had any problem with cracking or breaking & I bought my first one 10 years ago.

Pros:• very easy to clean• has a tea strainer• has a lid that makes steeping tea easy• mug size is big• handle is comfortable for my handsizeCons:• glass is very very thin (because the glass seems very fragile, I'm afraid that it might break if I try to place it on my mug warmer)Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase since I've been looking for a cup where I can marvel at the colors of tea and not have to struggle straining anything separately. Will update if anything changes.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️UPDATE:It has been 2 years since I purchased this cup and I'm honestly in love with it 😍. It's able to wistand the heat from a mug warmer and despite the glass looking thin, it has been very durable so far!

Every morning, and several times a day, I go for espresso coffee for my migraines. I love my double-wall glass mugs, but 16 Oz (I have), isn’t quite big enough for my beverage. The challenge to find a high quality glass mug to fit under the head of my (old) espresso machine...this one fits (almost). This beauty of a mug holds the full double-shot plus the heated frothed half&half I add to cut the harsh. Look what I get!? I love to see my beverage, so it’s gotta be glass.The BIG surprise bonus is that the HANDLE, which seems an afterthought for most mug designers. and who will hold it. You can get a safe solid grip on this 20 Oz mug, which full does have some weight. THIS HANDLE DESIGN is sooo comfortable, and you can feel like you have a safe grasp of your (HOT!!!) beverage. I have big hands for a girl. Regular mugs are easy to drop, because I can’t get a grip, can you? THIS handle is just the BEST I’ve held. Try it and see. And....btw, it has a LID to keep it hot! And the diffuser is beautifully made. But I got this just for my coffee ;^)

I like the flat bottom as it makes it easy to use with a mug warmer. I also like the glass lid but I dislike how you can get some water in the lid due to how it's made. It's hard to describe like it's lid is like a semi bubble where the top part is a partial dome that isn't solid and kinda folds down to make the lip? It just makes things a little annoying when washing the lid.

Ease of use
