Suitable for both tea and coffee, this German-made brewing basket is constructed of high quality BPA-free plastic and ultra-fine stainless steel mesh. The lid performs double duty: leave it on while the beverage is brewing to help keep the liquid hot and concentrate the aroma, when the brewing is complete the lid can be flipped over to be used as a drip tray. The size is adaptable from small teapots to a single cup. Dishwasher safe.
