FORLIFE
The hinged lid stays attached through every pour, eliminating the usual lid-loss risk. Its 0.3mm basket strains rooibos as readily as whole-leaf oolong, in a stackable two-cup body.

Its value is the unusually complete small-pot engineering: hinged lid, 0.3 mm basket, high-fired ceramic, stackability, and dishwasher-safe construction. Long-term owner commentary specifically credits the curved lip for non-drip flow.
Compact thermal mass is more forgiving than glass for a second cup.
Attached lid cannot fall during pouring; a meaningful usability advantage.
Fine enough for small particles while remaining removable for cleanup.
A stout, highly legible silhouette that stacks neatly. The lid attachment removes one-handed pouring anxiety; the trade-off is that the small pot is only for one generous drinker or two cups.
The attached lid reduces a common breakage/loss point. Rinse the fine basket promptly to prevent leaf residue; ceramic remains chip-prone if dropped.
