Permanent filter with 2 handles "Piet"

Recommended use

Place the filter in the center of your cup or teapot, ensuring the handles rest properly on the rim. Add the desired amount of leaves, then pour hot water steadily. Let steep according to your preference, then remove the filter by the handles and let it drain for a few moments before rinsing. This method preserves the free expansion of the leaves and a clear liquor.

Maintenance

• Daily cleaning: Empty the still-wet leaves, rinse immediately with hot water, gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge, then air dry to avoid stains.
• Deep cleaning: Regularly soak the filter in a mixture of hot water and mild dish soap, then gently brush the mesh to dislodge fine deposits before rinsing thoroughly.
• Precautions: Avoid metal sponges, abrasive products, or repeated impacts that could deform the mesh and damage the surface, and do not let water stagnate in the filter after prolonged use.

Compatibility

The Piet permanent filter is suitable for cups and mugs with an opening close to its diameter, as well as small teapots where the handles can rest stably. It can be used with most loose leaf teas and infusions, including whole or cut leaves. Its fine mesh limits particle passage while allowing the liquor to circulate naturally.

Selected materials

This model is made from 18/8 stainless steel, an alloy commonly used for kitchen accessories due to its corrosion resistance and suitability for food contact. The fine stainless steel mesh ensures consistent filtration while preserving aroma diffusion. Using steel handles minimizes the use of other materials, simplifying maintenance. The structure is designed to remain stable on a cup or small teapot.

Manufacturing process

The filter body is made from perforated stainless steel sheet or welded mesh, then shaped cylindrically and crimped. The handles are attached at the top of the cylinder to distribute weight and facilitate grip. The whole is polished to smooth edges and reduce deposit areas. Each batch is visually inspected to check mesh regularity, handle assembly, and absence of visible defects on water-contact areas.

Key features

• Ease of use: The two handles provide good stability on the rim of the cup or teapot and make handling easier even when the filter is hot, for a simple and controlled gesture.
• Consistent filtration: The fine stainless steel mesh holds most leaf fragments while allowing water to flow freely, helping to achieve a clear and uniform liquor.
• Durable accessory: Its reusable stainless steel design reduces reliance on disposable bags, supports intensive use, and easily integrates into a daily brewing routine focused on sustainability.

Recommended uses

The Piet permanent filter is especially suitable for loose leaf tea lovers who want to brew their infusions directly in a cup or small teapot. It can accompany everyday teas as well as more mindful moments, giving the leaves the necessary space. Its size makes it suitable for both home and office, for a simple preparation without any complex additional accessories. It naturally fits into a reusable approach to brewing.
