Messinkinen pumpputeehaudutin

The brass feels surprisingly weighty in the hand, and the pump mechanism pushes the leaves down without any of the fiddling I used to do with a spoon. It's become my morning ritual before I've even had caffeine.

The pump action is what sold me, no more fishing around with a soggy chain. I use it for loose leaf in the morning and it's surprisingly easy to rinse out under the tap. The brass has a nice weight to it too.

The brass finish catches the light beautifully on my kitchen counter, and the pump action is surprisingly smooth for such a compact little tool. I've used it every morning since it arrived and the tea comes out perfectly steeped without any mess.
