It’s Good, But…
It’s good, but we prefer the Finum large or medium size filters over this one. This unit is a 3 piece assembly–top cover, bottom basket and top extension ring. The bottom basket part is the same size as the LARGE size filter, minus the side “wings”. The top is quite large and bulky, taking up a great deal of storage space. The top extension ring is very wide in diameter. So far, we have been unable to find a pot, mug or thermos that this will fit in due to the large diameter ring. We wanted a filter that would go deeper into our tea pots, but this will not. Also, the ring is attached to the top with two small protrusions or pegs which snap in and slide out. They don’t hold very tightly and don’t seem like they will last long. If they don’t hold, the basket/tea leaves will fall into the pot. Again, this filter is okay, but the other versions are better. We have used this type of filter for many years and find Finum filters to be among the best. This filter has especially…
Finum Universal Filter Size and Details
I have not actually used this yet, but I wanted to write about the size, because that is what I had questions about. Going to give it 5 stars because I have no reason to doubt its functionality. Many other customers are satisfied, and I expect I will be too. Will update if problems arise.
Like was said before, this thing has 3 parts:
Large sized Finum Filter
An “extender,” which connects to the large filter and increases the diameter so the filter wont fall into the teapot
A cap, which keeps heat inside the teapot and is a nice tray for the filter when you are done
The max diameter of the brim of the top hat “extender” that keeps it from falling into tea pots is about 4.25in.
The diameter of the bottom of the large filter (note: this one has a bottom made of mesh which is nice) is about 2in.
The diameter of the top of the large filter is 2.75in.
The height of the large filter is 3in.
The “extender” adds about 1.25in to the…
good filter but slow to drain
this is a good product, it works fine as a camping french press alternative. the wide collar and lid are great additions, used it with a big oversized thermos brand thermal cup from wal mart, worked great. loses a star for draining slowly as the cup fills up but very usable
