Can I just throw a few teabags directly into this to get brewed tea or will it mess up the interior?

I have not done that, but since it's glass my guess is you'd be fine. Though, tea ususally leaves some residue, over time, so for that reason, I would be inclined not to--just one more thing to clean out over time....

I think that you probably could but I'd send an email to the manufacturer to be sure.

Yes! The holes a fine, but it is definitely meant for tea. Coffee and some herbal infusions might have some issues. I haven't brewed rooibos or chamomile in it loose, and I would expect to see a little sediment from something very fine like that. It's very sturdy and awesome for tea though.

Not sure. But the regular tea bag, you can fold it and put it in with not problem. Hope it will help you

I would not put tea into it because tea needs several minutes to soak and brew. I did have some flavorings in k cups I opened up and mixed into my own coffee, and this was fine. I see no point in putting that stuff into the ekobrew when it belongs just in the cup.

You can add tea bags no problem. There is more than enough room for one bag, I usually add two bags because I like my tea strong and don't have too much of a problem getting them to fit.

I wouldn't put it in a teapot - just put it in your mug and pour the water over top and let it steep in the mug.

No, I've not found that to be a problem. I do remove the lid carefully using 5 fingers to pick up, turn it over so flat side down, set on the table then remove the tea bag putting in the well then pick the lid up again and put it on top of the cup, keeping tea hot. Hope this helps answer your question.

I don't think that would work. There would be no seal around the bag to force the water through the tea. There is a reusable metal filter that could be filled with loose tea.

I have made tea directly in it -- I pour very hot (not quite boiling) water in and add the teabag. I've never had a problem.... but perhaps I'm just lucky. I typically don't put the cover back on until it's cooled a bit.

Yes, the metal infuser has perforations to allow the tea to be poured without leaves going into the cup. I am uncertain as to what exactly you mean by the second question-it can be used with tea bags as well.

I don't see why not although you would have to use tea bags. Loose tea would get through the strainer insert since the holes are not that fine.

Kind of depends on the tea bags. You'd have to squish them down in the pod so you could close the drawer. The ones like Lipton with the paper probably wouldn't work well but regular ones should.

You can put loose tea in it and steep. It's a press so it will keep the tea leaves in when you press and pour your tea. Love mine!

Not fine enough for ground spices, or even thai tea mix.Using paper teabags to infuse spices separately would probably be less messy.

Yes, you can store tea bags in it - there are no holes in the bottom. Because of the weight of the tea bag they may not slide to the front of the drawer.

Absolutely. You could put loose tea or another hot beverage in there. It's a removable infuser, although having quickly tried it, the lid doesn't snap in tightly without the infuser there. It sits loosely on top, but that shouldn't be a problem.

I just use a tea bag w/ out the infuser but you probably could fit it in there
