How many teaspoons of loose tea will this comfortably hold (allowing room for expansion)?

I have put up to four level teaspoons in it, filling it only about one fourth full and allowing room for expansion. It could take much more.

This will hold at least 4 teaspoons of loose tea, with room for expansion. Including loose teas with decent size pieces of dried fruit. I hope this helps.

This tea infuser will easily hold 3 and maybe even 4 TABLEspoons - it can handle large amounts, if that's your preference. Works well with small amounts, too. We generally prefer a light, green Japanese-type tea and use just 2 teaspoons - infuser does great with this.

Do to expansion, you will only be able to get about three to four teaspoons in it.

A lot! I only use this for individual cups of tea so it is near empty still when I use it. I would guess it would hold about 3/4 cup when full, so about half of that leaving room for expansion? You could really use it to brew a pot.

150 probably. it is huge! not practical with tea. It works great for herbs and spices when you make a big pot of broth or soup.

I just use a tea bag w/ out the infuser but you probably could fit it in there

The rule of thumb is 1 tsp. (level) for each 8 oz. cup and 1 tsp. for the pot. So you should use 7 tsp. for your 48 oz. pot. This should work just fine. The grind of the tea used is a consideration also. If finely ground 1 level tsp. is fine. If roughly ground you may want to use a little more but this teaball should be more than adequate for whatever grind you use.

This pot, in use, easily holds 1 liter, with at least another 0.5 liter of headroom. One can easily brew 1300 ml tea. This is a WONDERFUL teapot.

Depends on tea cup size. Safely I can say 2. It is wonderful for personal use

It holds 24 ounces, and I use a tea cozy to cover the pot while it steeps, a tea cozy is like an oven mitt for your tea pot, and it keeps your tea as hot as it was when you first steeped it. I hope this helps, I am very impressed with this infuser.

It holds 64oz of tea. The infuser is hollow to the top not taking up much space.

Three tablespoons of tea is all that this will hold in the bottom half. I doubt that would be enough for two gallons of decent strength tea.

Hello. As a matter of fact it is bigger than i thought. It can hold at least 2-3 Tablespoons, and its more intended to prepare a large quantity of tea rather than a single mug.

Yes it is, but I suppose it would also depend on the type of tea- green tea leaves tend to expand so probably not. Also it depend on if you like your tea strong- I like mine mild so I normally use about less than a 1/4th of the space for a single cup:)

I don't know. I just fold over the top and place in teapot....have no trouble with the loose tea slipping out.

I can use 2 lg bags stuffed in, or about an ounce or two of loose tea. I prefer the bags, bc some loose tea can get through the holes... Pretty gnarly to drink, lol.

The pot by itself, without the insert will hold 24 oz., but you don't get that much to drink once you put in the tea leaves. We usually get around 20 oz.

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

it is wide enough to fit in a single cup, but depends on how wide the tea pot is

It depends on the size of the tea cups you use. I can serve up to 4-6 people using mine (small saucers) but actual measurement holds 2.5-3 cups using the enclosed strainer. The tea stays warm close to a hour. Hope you get it and enjoy!
