For those wanting to buy one, it's sold by IKEA as the Idealisk tea infuser, $1.99. Also available in lots of other stores, I guess.

The ingenuiTEA is the best tea brewer I've used, it works great for all loose teas.

When I drink tea I usually drink something spicy like Chai and use either my ingenuiTEA or a Cafetière.

Other price extreme: Vorwerk (of Thermomix fame) is selling a loose tea machine: https://temial.vorwerk.de/

Only 600 Euros!

Wow, that thing has GPL’ed code in it. Who says GPL code is anathema for business?

Personally, I prefer my tea makers without Apache in them; I recently got the Breville BTM800XL (a.k.a. Sage The Tea Maker™), and it is very nice, in that it is fully automated.

I've had one of these for what feels like centuries. Sturdy. Machine washable. Inexpensive as hell. Along with my single-serving french press also from Ikea[0] some of the most value per dollar I've ever got.
