The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Load the leaves, pour hot water, watch the color build through the borosilicate walls. When the steep is done, set it on your mug — the valve at the base opens on contact and drains clean through the strainer, leaving the leaves behind. No squeeze, no drip, no judgment about when to pull the basket.
Watch the color build. Set it on the mug. The valve opens and it drains itself. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
