Can I just use this like a tea bag?

I throw a pod in my oversized Raiders mug and stick it in the microwave for two minutes and it tastes great!

I don't see why not, it might even be strong enough for a second cup depending on you like it brewed. Pod just doesn't have a handy string on it. Pod is designed for just one cup of coffee, but I use 10 oz. of water.

Probably but it would have to be in the right size pot (not in a cup) to deal with the strength of four cups of coffee.

You can brew tea with loose tea, but you could not use the press with a tea bag

Yes, it will work with a teabag as well, and in fact probably better since the leaves are all contained in the bag. You wouldn't get any loose leaves in your mouth when drinking the tea. Welcome to the tea drinkers' world. I would suggest for you to try different kinds of tea - white, green & black. And don't worry about the caffeine in it, it's not as potent as coffee and there are always herbal alternatives. Enjoy!

The holes are small, you can get a straight pin through them.If your tea is fine like that in a tea bag it will not work.

hello, yes you could steep tea bags in this tea pot. I would recommend two tea bags, it makes 3 8oz cups of tea. I love my tea pot I use it daily with tea bags and loose leaf.

Hi! I use 2 large Lipton tea bags. It depends on how strong you like your tea.

Yes! This is one of their more pungent teas, so you can definitely make 2 cups with one tea bag. :-)

I would say, no. It is an awesome tea chest but I don't think that would work at all. There would be no way to keep the tea bags in.

I've never put a bag in it, but since it's a smaller bag, you can probably do that. (you may have to open the bag first so you can mold it to fit)

Put it like this, the tea bag is already an infuser, so if you put a tea bag in this, it's like filtering something through twice. You could lose some flavor. How about you just open the tea bag and pour the contents into this infuser?

I have not used it with tea bags, but I don't see any reason why you can't A tea bag would certainly fit inside the Manatea.

Sure you can, I've seen women use these as purses. It's really a shoulder shopping bag. I wouldn't depend on it to safely carry electronic devices, maybe a lunch or book for carry-on.

you can use it with small ones. I don't think a big tea bag would fit in it. But I have fit small ones in it before.

Well yes. You could steep it and let it cool off for awhile and then put it over a cup filled with ice. It is just a very convenient teapot basically that strains the leaves when you put it on a cup and drain the tea. So use it how you would normally make iced tea.

For what ever it's worth, this seems to be a comparable option which may be better suited for teabags: http://amzn.to/1QdfStz

Yes it is but it is small so i am not sure you would want to use it for "real" tea.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use just tea bags. However, I personally use a filter even though I use tea bags. The reason is that sometimes some of the tea escapes the bag. It wouldn't take much to clog the drain system for the tea in which case you would wind up with a messy overflow. The filter provides added protection and helps ensure uniform flow of the tea out of the reservoir.
