Using this with a tall, narrow thermos/travel mug. Is there any way to attach it to the rim while steeping, then remove once steeped before leaving?

You could bend the handle but there are other tea infusers out there that already have that: Oggi Stainless Steel Tea Stick InfuserOriginal Teastick by Gamila Products

I suppose you could tie a long string around the handle and drop it in. Or drill a hole in the handle and use a chain. But personally would call the company, they are very responsive and may have some better ideas. They seem to be very consumer oriented and are always looking to improve their products.

It has a hook at one end that may hang on a tall narrow cup. I don't see why it wouldn't.

I use mine in a tall 16oz tiger, the tab of the infuser can be bent to a hook shape to hang it.

It would bot be the most efficient way. It's made for a cup. Doesnt hold enough tea for a thermos.

Yes, that will fit. The black piece you see under the cup is removable allowing the space you need for taller travel mug.

I don't have the mug with me right now, but I have a Keurig B60 brewer and this mug just barely fits in the brewing area when the bottom piece is removed. That's with the lid of the mug removed, and the lid adds about another half inch or so. So that will give you an idea.

I put the dimples side down. Although, I'm not really sure if it makes any difference! If I remove them from my old Illy caf machine immediately after use they don't stick. If yours stick, try just pushing the brew button without the handle attached, and that should blow them out. That's what I do if one gets left in there over night. Good luck!

Yes, after the leaves steep, remove the strainer and put the lid back on to drink from it. We've had ours for a year now and we still love them! Tea stays hot for hours!!!

There is a tea strainer that comes with the tea pot. The strainer doesn't have a handle so it is not convenient to remove the tea strainer after steeping since it fits into a groove along the top where the tea pot lid fits snugly.

Nope. You just kind of drink through the mesh strainer. It's not uncomfortable. I really can't recommend purchasing this thing, mine is basically useless at this point due to gasket issues and leaks. A hydroflask/klean kanteen with a sippy top and a tea infuser is going to keep your tea hot and stand the test of use.

The lids are interchangeable. Using the steeping basket in the tall basket might make too weak a tea

I dont think you are doing something wrong , mine locks in tight and i havent had this problem. As long as thermos is in its place it should not be able to come out. You might need a replacment

My husband put a travel mug in it and didn't close the lid and it made a mess. He did the same with a can of soda. It works best with bottles, IMO.

Works great with my thermos brand stainless vacuum bottles and travel mug. I would think as long as the container you use has no handle and is less than 3 inches in diameter you should be ok.

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

The lid is NOT secured, it just sits on top till steeping is to your likeing , then you can remove lid and the loose leaf tea basket ,and you have a perfect temperature cup of tea

If you slide the dual opening spout off, you can put the travel mug under the single opening remaining. Push the button on the top of the silver dual spout and pull off. I do this all the time...then replace it again for my regular mugs. As a single person...I've saved lots of money by NOT wasting coffee by making too much...PLUS I can have a really good cup (any size) at any time with no fuss!

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

I own one of these. I also had this problem and read a review describing this problem= the hole in the bottom is too large, allowing the water to drain through before it can "steep" The other reviewer used one of those coffee stir straws inserted along the side into the hole to take up some room and make it drain slower. Possibly a skinny tip bamboo chopstick inserted would work, if you don't want to run all your coffee over a soft plastic straw.

I have the same problem because I don't screw on the lid. The lid is hard to clean with all the plastic parts attached to it so I just pour the coffee in cup without it. Since it spills out, I pour it over the sink when I want coffee then set it down on a paper towel. POOR DESIGN!!
