Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

I appreciate that it is dishwasher safe, but have not opted to throw in the top rack due to the small size of the bottom and I worry it would get lost. My dishwasher doesn’t come with a basket for small items.
=============================
Update: The customer service team reached out to me after seeing my initial 3 star review and offered a full refund as I was unsatisfied with my purchase. I am very impressed with the responsiveness of the company, which obviously prioritizes customer satisfaction. I have changed my review to 5 stars based on the customer service interaction.
Wanted to love this so much, but I don't think I will ever use this. Glad I ended up not giving it as a gift.

It looks cute with the head sticking out of your tea mug, and it works well to steep loose-leaf teas.
You may find that some very small tea leaf pieces and fine tea particles will make their way out through the holes, but that is just a part of the loose-leaf tea experience and won't hurt anyone :).
