This is a very small plastic spoon like item that allows you to brew one cup of tea or coffee. But unlike a normal spoon this has an attached top that securely closes. You put it in some hot water so that the inner contents brew with the hot water in the container you are using.

I bought this so I can make single cups of tea using some loose leaf tea that I like. I have found that it is a perfect tool for that task.

How it works.
You put the material in the end of the spoon. This can be tea, coffee, or anything else that is loose. Close the spoon tightly. Put this in a coffee cup/mug with some hot water. Let is brew for about 4 minutes (longer if you want a darker or more bitter taste.) Remove the cup.pour.ri and enjoy your beverage.
Keep in mind that this is only for single servings and not designed for a coffee pot.

My opinion
I’m really happy with this tool. It is easy to use and easy to handle. I like it a lot better than the metal bulbs I have used in the past. My only concern is the durability.

Materials
The handle and sides of the spoon end are plastic. The top and bottom of the spoon end is some sort of fine mesh. The mesh looks synthetic to me and is slightly flexible. It does a good job of keeping the finest of grounds from getting into the beverage.

Who is this for?
Anyone that wants an easy way to make a single cup of tea or coffee. It is the easiest way I know of to make a single cup of a beverage, a big improvement from those metal bulbs.

Cleaning
Just wash it under a sink. I don’t have enough confidence in the mesh material to put it in my dishwasher.

Durability
Durability is moderately poor. It looks and feels fairly fragile. My dog got a hold of it and left two holes in the mesh (just as I finished writing this review.) These holes made this object useless and there is no way of fixing it. I am forced to buy a new one.

Weight and dimensions

Summary
This is a tool to make a single cup of tea or coffee. It is a spoon shaped tool that closes completely keeping the contents securely in the spoon and only letting water in and out by using fine mesh walls. It is very easy to use, cleans easily, and works well. My only concern is durability so make sure you store it in a safe place. I highly recommend this product.
