@brunoisbeast1 From what I understand, any kind of loose tea leaves will work. The blooming teas are the prettiest. All tea leaves will expand when they soak, so I don't think there will be any problems with the mesh strainer filter at the bottom of the cup. I wouldn't recommend matcha powder. I don't see why you couldn't brew coffee this way but there might be some cross-flavor each other.
The coffee may stain the filter faster. The grounds may get caught in the filter. The acid in the coffee might be more apt to corrode the rubbery seals in the cup. I haven't had any problems like this with the cup so far but I haven't used it for coffee. Coffee typically brews at a higher temperature than tea does though so maybe some testing is in order.
@TeaINfuse Short answer: I don't think so. Long answer: From what I understand, teas brew at a temperature best suited to them, and as long as the water can move freely around the tea and is at the correct temperature, the vessel doesn't affect the brewing time unless it affects the pressure (like a pressure cooker). However, some people say that different materials impart different flavors to the tea. I don't notice it.
@klingstuh If you have cold-brew iced tea, I don't see why not. It stands up to the hot temperatures, so the cold should be a breeze. Most iced tea is brewed hot and then poured over ice, so the process would be the same.
I got one for Christmas and it works perfectly, but my main consern now is the seeping of flavors and aroma into the actual device. I made some black tea and now i can smell it in the pot. Is this thing dishwasher safe?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for showing this video. I have one of these pots and it's been a year since I've used it. I forgot how it works. I would've done it all wrong and been picking tea leaves out of my teeth!
This is a great video to show how you can control how much tea goes into your cup. I thought that you had to let the whole thing empty out but this makes the ingenuiTEA that much better.
Yes! I have to admit plastic isnt' the best but it doesn't leave any icky aftertaste and I can control how much goes in the cup. Also, it works really well for watching Adagio's "flower blooms" bloom--it's all clear.
That item ingenuiTEA is made from plastic and plastic should never been used in steeping your loose green tea. Its better to use stainless steal or glass
I think it's because the plastic loses heat faster and may leech interesting flavors into the tea. Plus I suppose theoretically there could be some reaction between the tea and the plastic. I've been a smoker for so long though that I can't taste the difference aside from it's much better than teabags.
Could you use any type of leaves(tea leaves) for this or does it only keed specific leaves used? And can you make coffee using this equipment?

I use a Kamjove and a Ming Xiang Cup brewer.. Do you think this brews tea faster then the old ball type of infusers?

I've been putting mine in the top rack of the dishwasher and haven't had any issues with it.

Was she running her dishwasher while filming, or is IngenuiTEA that loud? :)

@flashlightbug Probably the dishwasher and the kettle and likely two or three computers. Hello, white noise.

@mrpower328 Yes. I am too lazy for that but not lazy enough for bags.
