Will the lid fit and stay on this if you leave out the filter and top water reservoir so this can be used as a tea dispenser?

Yes it will stay on. But it's not friction style and is simply a loose cover similar to a cooking pan and lid

The past answers below recommend tucking in the long part of the filter, which is correct, but what type flavor is your concern? If the tea is very fine, then twist the filter above the tea line and do not submerge above the tea line.

The lid is not permanently secured to the teapot. As with most glass teapots, the lid rests on top. I'd recommend holding the lid or taking it off when you don't have much left to pour.

The lid will fit on ok without he second tier, but it is a little loose. The box comes with an elastic band to hold it closed, but it is not watertight on the outside box.

Yeah, but it's not made for that. You'll probably fit a handful of tea bags only. I also purchased the Stash tea rack and works better.

Yes! This is an excellent dispenser for Kombucha tea. That is why I purchased this one in particular.

The lid stays on just fine. In fact, if my husband is already asleep and i want to make a late night cup of tea, i fill the pot with water earlier in the evening and have it ready, becuase putting the lid on and clicking it in makes a noise. it fits tight and does not leak. i am very happy with mine. the handle is stationary, so you have to finagle the lid a bit to get it in and clicked tight. but i have arthritis and i can do it so it's no big deal. dee jaquet

I think you are asking if lid fits the teapot after strainer is removed? The answer is yes. You can still put the lid back after taking out the strainer. contact us if any questions INFO@TEABEYOND.COM

No. We bought it for that reason and ours doesn't fit. I just stored it without the lid on

No .... The lid sits loosely on the top of the strainer. The lid is a nice feature because while the tea is steeping it covers the top. But then, when the tea is ready, the lid is a place to set the strainer on.

It does not snap on and could fall off is dripped. It does fit snugly but can be lifted with just the weight of the container being sufficient to lift the lid off.

Yes it can. You can either put loose tea in a filter in the coffee holder or you can put the tea bags in the coffee holder that goes on the top and sits above the water line.

I don't know. I just fold over the top and place in teapot....have no trouble with the loose tea slipping out.

it has a nice heft to it, but more importantly, it fits under the Teavana PerfecTea tea maker perfectly. [ http://www.amazon.com/Teavana-PerfecTea-Tea-Maker-16oz/dp/B004X7DIHI ]

It is just a top for cup or mug. There is not reservoir. Top is slightly rounded but nothing on top like a reservoir. You could suspend the tea bag inside cup, but there would be no room for tea.

Yes. The lid rests on another fitting on the pot and is independent of the infuser. You can remove the infuser once the tea brews to your taste.

The lid can be removed entirely, but I don't know the size of your porcelain drip filter. Even though it fits, you won't be able to close the lid with the filter in the mouth.
