Technical Detailed Features
Usage Instructions & Maintenance
Recommended Use
This automatic infuser is suitable for all types of loose leaf teas. Pour the leaves directly into the upper glass compartment, add water at the desired temperature, and let steep for the recommended time. Then place the device on your cup or mug; the weight and contact with the rim activate the mechanism that lifts the base plate, instantly releasing the filtered tea. Watch it fill in seconds. Lift the infuser, the plate automatically lowers and stops the flow.
Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: Rinse immediately with hot water after use. Disassemble the stainless steel filter and base for complete cleaning of leaf residues. The glass retains neither odors nor tannins.
- Thorough Cleaning: Clean the base mechanism weekly with a soft brush to prevent limescale or fine particle buildup. Ensure the plate slides freely.
- Essential Precautions: Never fully submerge the base in water to preserve the internal mechanism. Avoid harsh detergents on moving parts. Handle the glass gently during disassembly.
Compatibilities
Compatible with most cups and mugs thanks to the 8.5 cm diameter and the notch at the base. Works with green, black, white, oolong teas, and leaf herbal infusions. The fine stainless steel filter effectively retains even rooibos particles or broken teas.
Quality Materials & Expertise
Selected Materials
The borosilicate glass container withstands high temperatures and thermal variations without cracking. Its transparency allows you to observe the infusion progress and visually check the leaf level. The food-grade stainless steel filter has a fine mesh that effectively retains particles while allowing aromas to circulate freely. The base includes a protected spring mechanism that ensures the vertical movement of the drainage plate. The neutral glass preserves taste purity without flavor transfer.
Manufacturing Process
The drainage mechanism is based on a simple sliding plate system activated by pressure. When the infuser rests on a flat, firm surface like the edge of a cup, the weight pushes the plate upward, opening the outlet. An internal spring ensures it returns to the closed position as soon as the pressure stops. Each unit is tested to guarantee leak-tightness at rest and smooth operation of the opening mechanism.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Usage How exactly does the automatic mechanism work?
The mechanism relies on a gravity-activated sliding plate system. At rest, a spring holds the base plate in the lowered position, blocking the outlet and preventing any leaks. When you place the infuser on a cup, the weight of the water-filled device and contact with the cup rim push this plate upward against the spring force. This instantly opens the passage and the tea flows by gravity. Lift the infuser, and the spring immediately pushes the plate back to the closed position, stopping the flow instantly.
Maintenance How to clean the mechanism without damaging it?
Carefully disassemble the plastic base from the glass container after each use. Rinse the glass and stainless steel filter with hot water as usual. For the base, rinse the outside and wipe carefully without fully submerging in water, as this could enter the internal mechanism and damage the spring. Use a damp cloth to clean the sliding plate. Once a week, check that the movement remains smooth by manually testing the sliding of the plate.
Compatibility Does it work with all cups?
The 8.5 cm diameter with side notch is designed to fit most standard cups, mugs, and tumblers. Flared rim cups, classic straight mugs, and even some travel tumblers work perfectly. Only containers with a rim narrower than 7 cm or very flared shapes wider than 10 cm may cause issues. The notch also allows use on cups with handles without interference. Just make sure the rim is sturdy enough to support the weight without tipping.
Durability What is the lifespan of the mechanism?
With regular maintenance and careful handling, the mechanism can last several years. The sensitive point remains the internal spring, which can wear out after thousands of cycles. Avoid letting limescale dry on the sliding plate, as this would stiffen the movement. Never force the mechanism manually and do not operate it repeatedly while empty. The borosilicate glass, on the other hand, does not degrade and retains its properties indefinitely if protected from shocks.
Safety Is there a risk of leakage during infusion?
No, as long as the infuser rests on a flat and stable surface without pressure on the base. The mechanism is designed to remain hermetically closed at rest. The plate only opens under the combined effect of weight and pressure against the edge of a cup. Regularly check that the plate’s seal remains clean and free of tea particles that could compromise the seal. Never place it on an unstable or tilted surface during infusion.
Quality Why choose this infuser over a classic model?
This infuser eliminates the delicate handling of a hot and wet filter. No more transferring, pouring carefully, or holding multiple parts at once. The simplicity of the automatic mechanism makes brewing accessible even in inconvenient settings like a cluttered office or while traveling. The glass transparency allows you to visually follow the process. The instant closing system precisely stops the infusion at the optimal moment, offering better taste control than tea bags or infusers left in prolonged contact.
Capacity Can I prepare several cups successively?
Yes, with the same leaves if they support multiple infusions like oolong or pu-erh. After emptying the first cup, simply add hot water to the compartment for a second infusion. Let it steep for the desired time, then place it again on an empty cup. The mechanism works as many times as needed. To prepare several different cups, completely empty the used leaves, rinse quickly, and repeat the process with new leaves.
