How many teaspoons of loose tea does the filter hold?

I would just fill up the strainer to my acquired strength. And it does the job.

It's a really fine powder. Nix on tea ball. It will probably clog filter quickly.

It really depends on how strong you want your tea. i take a half teaspoon every day and it lasts about 5-6 weeks.

It makes about two standard 6 oz cups of tea and a little bit more. I use a small mug 8 oz? and get about one and a half mugs out of it. Make sure you hold the lid when pouring your tea as it does not have a catch on it.

4 cup filters. I tried the regular, but sometimes they would fall and coffee grounds would get in the pot.

My wife and I have various sized tea bags. We tend to do a trial and error depending on the tea you use. For normal, one cup, lipton sized bags; we use about 6 for mild tea, and 8-10 when we want it stronger. We also have some chinese loose tea that we also use. Most will depend on how strong you want, plus a trial and error.

Chase - yes the answers below are correct. It actually will hold about 1.5 tablespoons of tea - but we recommend using less than one tablespoon so the tea has plenty of room to expand. In many cases you can use as little as one teaspoon and get even better flavor as the tea has plenty of room to bloom. Thanks, Don

honestly I don't know.But its a big bag and I expect about 200 to 300 cups out of it.It also depends how much you use per cup.I have a "tea-egg" that gets filled up with the tea so as not to spill the little leaves into the cup,and that makes for a uniform usage and strength of tea.Hope that helps,Bernd

I holds about a cup. I bought it for coffee creamer which didn't work too well. Tried it with sugar and I use too much so it doesn't last long enough. It does work and has attachments to change from 1/4 to 1/2 or 1 teaspoon. If you use a small amount it will work fine.

Sorry Cheri, I just open the tea bags and take what I need for the particular container I am using. I use it as though it is loose tea.

I think it depends on the size of the tea leaf or flower bud/tea mixture you are using. But for example to use apple pie chi rooiboos tea I can fit 6 tablespoons of dry tea into the infuser. That does not leave enough room for expansion when hot water is poured over the tea. So I would say you could reasonably expect to fit 3 tablespoons (9 teaspoons) of a fine to medium sized tea with room for expansion. you could do a very strong cup of tea, a very large cup or a pot.

Agree with the 21-22 grams. The filter is a bit larger than what I generally use. Just used my smaller profile basket - fits perfect.

About 27 inches +- an inch. I also love mine. We have had one going on 8 years now. I usually change the filters about every two years. Used mostly to make coffee and water for pasta.

For one cup of tea (8 oz), add one teaspoon powder to hot water and mix. You can adjust the amount of powder per cup according to taste.

Yes, but just a few. I haven't opened the little package. Maybe 4 filters? They are #6 which are not as common as the #2 or 4. But my little tea kettle will hold 8 cups so I just a #4 filter with this. It is a very nice coffee maker.

How much tea do you drink? I think it would hold about 15 Lipton tea bags still in their paper folder, maybe more. I have 3 large heads of garlic in it now and there is a little room left over. It is an attractive piece. Good luck.

My strainer fits beautifully. I put my loose leaf tea in the bottom and get up to 4 brews out of some of my pu-ehr teas, less with other teas.
