FLIPTEA Perfect Outdoor Tea Maker - 12oz Plastic Water Tea Filter Cup Drink Bottle with Stainless Infuser Teapot - picnic, jog, camping

When I purchased this bottle I was a little concerned about the bottle feeling too hot. I haven't had an issue with it being too hot to handle. I bought the 8 oz size but wish I got the larger size. Although the bottle holds 8 oz, the instructions tell you not to fill the bottle within a 1/4 inch of the top so I have to dump some water out after using my coffee maker to fill the bottle with the measured 8 oz of water. The bottle leaked on me twice. The first time was when I was unscrewing the lid...I think. I probably unscrewed it too fast and the contents rushed to get out. The second time was when I was flipping the bottle upside down. You just need to be sure you have the pieces screwed on level and snug. Also, when you flip it over, I recommend holding the bottle base. The second time tea leaked out, I was holding the upper part of the bottle and when I flipped it upside down, the hot tea dripped down my hand. By holding the base, you won't have hot tea down your hand if there's a leak. I really enjoy using this bottle everyday though. For some reason, I have fun flipping it...especially when I'm flipping it back upright...and then unscrewing the parts and watching the tea drain through. The first couple of times I used the bottle, the tea either wouldn't drain through or would drain painfully slow. Now, I slowly unscrew the middle part (not all the way, just enough to let the air escape...then I unscrew the top lid and when I do that, it's like magic (or physics or something)...the tea drains through. It's really cool.

Both Tea Makers arrived on time and as in pictures. The design is to my taste, but most of all I liked the ingenious idea of flipping it! It's very handy! I love it!What I disliked about it is that after less than a week of use, the topmost lid unglued: that is, the metal part detached from the actual plastic lid. It still closes hermetically and works just fine, except that I have to take off the metal part (which was supposed to be glued to the actual lid), put in the tea and water, close it and only after that put back that part and flip it.....or I could just glue it back. Out of the two I bought, only one of them unglued.Overall, I am content! It's a great product. I would advise it for tea drinkers on the road!

It can be dangerous. The first time i used it, an o-ring was not secured and it leaked with hot water when i flipped it. After that i did not twist it shut completely one time and it leaked hot water. The pressure builds up in there when you twist it shut- - heat expands, so when you open it it sprays a little. Also the metal is hot when you try to open it, and if you wear oven mitts, then you can't really twist it open easily because you can't get a good drip. I would not recommend this product for use in a car, or by the young or elderly. So why give it 3 stars instead of one? Because it all depends on how your going to use it and for what. For example, green tea requires water that is less hot, so that can be in your favor. Some people have time to wait till its cooled off, so that might work for you. Some people might use it as an infuser, power to you. I still find it useful, and convenient. But buyer beware!!

I just started drinking tea about 2 months ago and find it so time consuming to have to wait for water to be hot and then to steep and I RUSH in the mornings (I'm not a morning person)... and then half the time I spill tea from the mug while driving - but this product makes things so much easier!! It's fabulous and exactly what I needed to keep things flowing smoothly in the morning - no spills - I can do the steeping on the road, and no extra time needed! It's very durable and extremely convenient. I highly recommend

Great concept was glad I got 2 but after a few months the seal was gone and it was staring to rust inside and would get mold around the seal because the tea would get under it and when you washed it if you took out the seal you would never be able to use the cup the same way again the seal would be ruined forever and all you were trying to do was clean your cup.

Love this tea infuser. I like that I can take it on the go wth me. I haven't had any problems wth it so far and it's exactly what I was looking for at a fair price. Far exceeded my expectations.

Slight leak. Nothing that is unmanageable.

Lets you easily have loose leaf tea while you're out and about without having to fish out a dripping tea strainer. Works great with tea or with Crio Bru. Makes it easy to compost your tea leaves.
