The House Again Extra Fine Mesh infusers are a high-density filtration tool designed for loose tea and spices. They use 304-grade stainless steel with a chemically etched hole pattern, which is finer than traditional wire mesh. This design is specifically intended to trap very small tea particles, such as those found in Rooibos or finely cut herbal blends, resulting in a cleaner cup of tea without much sediment.
The infuser features a dual-wing design that allows it to sit securely on apertures ranging from 2.5 to 4 inches wide, making it compatible with most mugs and pitchers. Since the entire unit is made of metal, it is helpful to let the wings cool for a few seconds after brewing before lifting it out of your mug. The single-piece chassis is very stable and doesn't have the frayed wires that can sometimes happen with lower-quality woven baskets.
If you live in an area with hard water, a quick soak in vinegar every few months can help clear any mineral buildup from the extra-fine pores.
If you prefer a large, dedicated pitcher with an integrated filter for bigger batches, the Hario Mizudashi 1200ml is an excellent choice. You can see more of our precision steeping tools in the cold brew tea infusers category.
