Does it have a built in infuser on the spout?

There is a built-in infuser so you can put loose leaf tea directly in the teapot and pour to keep them in the pot after steeping.

There are seven small holes on the inside of the spout for the liquid to go through.

Yes, but it isn't a fine mesh screen. Small particles may get through. That said, it's a really cute tiny teapot!

No. I've brewed kombucha and would suggest you look for a sun tea jar instead of this item. The spigot is already installed.

Unfortunately, no. You need to keep the infuser in the kettle to put the lid on.

The pot does have a pour spout. I happen to use this product everyday for multiple purposes. Enjoy!

No, because the spout is connected to the filter and you can only sip from it.

No. I use an infuser in mine when I don't use bags. The spout is completely open so leaf will simply pour out.

Yes, you can use it without the infuser. The infuser can come off-- it screws into the top.

Yes. It has a plastic spigot that the distilled water comes through to the jar.

yes,but i have been delighted with this product. i have tea on a daily bases and it still looks and performs like new. but you will have to use a pot holder to open the spout to pour.

Nope. You just kind of drink through the mesh strainer. It's not uncomfortable. I really can't recommend purchasing this thing, mine is basically useless at this point due to gasket issues and leaks. A hydroflask/klean kanteen with a sippy top and a tea infuser is going to keep your tea hot and stand the test of use.

Not that I know of. The only "strainer," included with the teapot, is the infuser.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF

There is no spout, yes you would have to open for a sip, I pour mine in a clean water bottle while I make more so I can grab bottle and go. Product is worth it!!!!

No, Guinevere, it doesn't and it doesn't have an removable infuser included either. This is a nuisance if you don't already have an infuser that fits. I do (happy accident.) You might want to use it for white, green and oolong teas and thinking of multiple infusions. But it is usually best to pull the leaves out while you drink your tea so you don't leave the happy realm of perfectly steeped tea into the dank dungeon of stewed tea. In short, you need a infuser. I love this tea pot for its blue color and its size, but it does drip. Karon

There is no infuser. The opening in the porcelain pot is about 2" maybe 2.5" ( I didn't measure it.) My husband puts in loose leaf tea and strains it when he pours. We started using this in Aug 2013 and have had no problems over the last 8 mo. My husband uses it everyday, and on the weekend it's on all day.

This particular cup does not, it's a hard spout. I think they make a version with a straw though.

It screws into the top of the Takeya pitcher. It doesn't come with it's own top. It comes in its own container, which will keep the dust off of the infuser.
