Not for: People who mainly brew tea bags, or who want an insulated mug to carry around.
What the AI looks for in Infusion Mugs
- Infuser mesh
- Fine stainless mesh that sits deep in the mug. Coarse or shallow baskets let leaves escape or leave them above the water line.
- Leaf room
- The basket should be wide enough for leaves to unfurl. Cramped baskets under-extract whole-leaf tea.
- Lid function
- The lid should keep heat in while steeping and hold the removed basket. This prevents drips and keeps the steep temperature up.
- Cleaning
- Basket and mug should be dishwasher safe. Tea oils and fine particles clog mesh over time.
Brands that matter
- ForLife: Specialist in brew-in mugs and infusers.
What to avoid
- Plastic infuser baskets for very hot water.
- Mugs whose infuser sits above the fill line.
