Which one should you buy?

Our top pick is the OXO Good Grips Tea Infuser Basket: a 4.8-star, 7,700-plus review basket with very fine mesh, a roomy chamber and a lid that becomes a drip tray. The value pick is the LULLATTI two pack of fine mesh infusers, which gives you two strainers for less than the price of one premium basket. The budget pick is the Avanti Empress pour over strainer with drip tray, the cheapest of our three headliners and the prettiest on a tea tray.
