I can see how this could be useful even though I mostly use the Breville. This little gadget saves you having to find a saucer or plate to park your strainer on. If you like using such infusers, thumbs up from me:

@thedevotea That’s great. I was wondering about that myself. Perhaps I might. Now that I have your blessing : P

@xavier Have you ever seen an infuser that you can put down without needing a separate saucer for the drips?

It looks cool and definitely more handy than regular metal tea strainer. But am I right it’s $20 each? That’s not a price that I’m willing to pay.
The whole kati system (basically a beautiful mug and a metal strainer, if you wonder what it is) costs only $15, and I got mine with some super good deal discount (I think I bought a tea and got the kati system for free). 😀

@@thedevotea: Thanks again for backing my project! The response has been amazing!
I see there have been a question or two on the benefits of this, so I’d love to add some key stuff for easy reference for the Teatrade community.
Form as well as function:Patent pending design allows for a snug fit onto practically any size mug
Great for both loose-leaf tea or bagged tea
Convenient. The saucer is designed right into the flexible silicone clip assembly, so there is no need for a separate saucer. After the tea brews, just removed the KLiP from the mug, give it a quick shake, and flip it.
No need to count the minutes. The KLiP allows you to sip the tea while the tea is brewing (you can’t easily do this with traditional tea baskets or spring loaded balls). So, you’ll know the exact moment your tea is ready to taste.I’m here to answer any questions!!
Cheers!

It’s all good, @boco , but I’ll thank you never to mention teabags again in my presence!

@thedevotea just because you gave him money doesn’t mean you can silence the man 😛
I think this little device is going to be very popular. Happy for @boco and team. @xavier hope that answered your main question. -
@thedevotea That’s a nice find too Robert. I’ve never seen or heard anything about this. How did you stumble on that product? The only thing is, space looks a little small/cramped for the tealeaves?
-
@@jackie haha, @thedevotea (Robert) can pretty much tell me to stand on my head and I’d have to comply….law of the kickstarter land.
Also, to reply to the space/volume question, I can stuff about 5 tablespoons of tea inside the Boco KLiP tea brewer, and that’s to the brim. I normally put about 1-2 tablespoons of tea in the basket, depending on the brand/quality/strength and makes a great single cup of tea. Also, it’s length/volume will serve well with whole leaf tea that some of the folks in China like to drink….this is vastly superior to say, the tea balls where space is definitely limited. But people use the tea balls regardless.

You see, @jackie ? . @boco gets the way things should work. Now the rest of you should fall into line.
I had one comment on one of the places I posted this and it was “No thanks, I prefer loose leaf”. I was astonished. The person in question went on to say that they preferred gaiwans, which is fine, but to deride an infuser as “not loose” annoyed me greatly.
I’m hoping to get a KLiP in my hands by the time I travel to the USA. And then we can put it and a gaiwan to a “baggage handlers test”.

@@ jackie are you in the U.S.? Email me at [email protected] and I’ll work out a Teatrade deal with you. I really want you to try it, I think you’ll love it’s functionality. You can sip to taste before removing the KLiP which is pretty handy IMO.
