The Tessco For You filter system is a utility-focused set designed to fit standard 2-quart (64oz) wide-mouth canning jars. These filters are made from SUS304 food-grade stainless steel and feature a mesh density that captures the vast majority of particulates. This makes them a reliable choice for brewing loose-leaf tea or coarse-ground coffee directly in jars you may already have in your pantry.
The vertical seam weld provides the structural strength needed to hold several cups of wet grounds. When using these filters, it is helpful to leave about 1.5 inches of headspace in the jar; this prevents the liquid from overflowing when you remove the filter at the end of the brew cycle. These filters are non-reactive, which means they won't transfer metallic flavors to your tea or coffee even during long immersion times.
To keep the mesh in top condition, avoid storing the filters loosely in drawers where they might get dented by other heavy utensils.
If you are looking for a more portable, all-in-one single-serve solution instead of large batches, the FinalPress V2 Portable Infuser is a great alternative. For more pantry and jar management, check out our large airtight containers for storing your bulk tea and coffee beans.
