Science experiment looking, but cute!!
I honestly wasn’t expecting to fall in love with a tiny silicone pig, but here we are. I was desperately searching for something that would fit through the narrow 2-inch opening of my glass carafe — not a lot of options out there unless you want to go full “grandma teapot” aesthetic. When I found this little guy, I figured it was worth a shot. And let me tell you, it not only fits perfectly, but it’s also become my favorite unintentional conversation piece.When it’s empty and sitting in the carafe, it looks like some kind of quirky science experiment — like I’m growing a genetically engineered farm animal in my kitchen. Then once I fill it with tea or infused water, it just floats there peacefully, like it’s living its best spa life. 😂 Every time I open the fridge and see it lounging in there, I laugh. Totally worth it for the entertainment factor alone.Functionally, it’s great too. The holes are the perfect size for loose leaf tea, it’s easy to clean, and it doesn’t make a mess. The silicone is soft but sturdy, and it doesn’t hold onto weird flavors. I’ve used it for black tea, green tea, and even cinnamon stick infusions — all came out tasting perfect.Honestly, I bought it for practicality, but now I kind of feel like it has a little personality. Like this pig is the unsung hero of my fridge. Between its adorable design, its ability to fit perfectly in my carafe, and the fact that it makes me laugh every single time I see it, I’d give it 10 stars if I could.If you’re on the fence — just get it. You’ll end up with great tea and a tiny emotional support pig that doubles as a hilarious conversation starter. 🐷💛

Made of silicone and works well
It is made out of silicone and not plastic. It works well to make tea. It is cute and puts a black cat in your tea.

Cute! Only 1 real issue
This is really cute, got for my daughter who is big into tea now, but mentioned microplastics in the bags and so my mom brain turned to Amazon cute for a teen.Quality, seal, flow, all great. Flavor is still very good, you don't get the plastic taste (we did wash before her first use).My only gripe con, which earned it 4 out of 5, was I bought so she could use with any of her mugs. May be my fault, but looking at the size I'm like ok, we have normal and bigger mugs, this will work. The way it sits is awkward, so you have to dunk it to steep. I chose this one vs the grim reaper steeper which she would have loved more, but the shape was odd and I thought it would work best with only a clear mug.Overall, serves it's purpose, but it's a little tricky and you won't have the cute kitty paws hanging over the side!

Super cute
I love this little guy, he’s so cute! Definitely happy with my purchase, however there are a few things I wish were different.1) I wish the holes were a little lower or he was a little longer so that the water doesn’t have to be filled to the top of the mug to steep. I don’t usually fill my mugs up that high as it’s more likely to spill but the holes are so high since he’s short that you have to fill it to the top.2) it’s not very easy to put the loose tea leaves inside, the opening is so small that my loose tea spoon doesn’t fit so I can’t scoop and dump inside. I basically have to pinch the tea and shove it in with my finger while making a mess everywhere.3) not very easy to clean because again, the hole isn’t too big and the tea gets stuck inside and you have to pull it out with your fingers.Overall, it’s a good buy because of how cute it is!

Cute and Does the Job - Mostly
I love it aesthetics wise! I'm a huge fan of rabbits and I thought it would be a nice touch with all the tea I drink. And it does do the job, relatively. Some things to note before purchasing1. Material. Obviously, its silicone. Silicone is often a hit or miss with me when it comes to tea. I will say the light gray of the rabbit is prone to staining, and if you don't wash or rinse it well the silicone will hold onto some of the previous brew. If that's a deal breaker, stick to metal ones or simpler shapes.2. Shape. While its cute, the shape of it is a bit of a hassle. Mainly the legs. I didn't expect the legs to be hollow, and the loose tea often gets stuck into those crevices, making it hard to clean. They also block the way of some of the holes, messing with the infusion. Not great to say the least.3. The actual infusing. Overall, the placement for the holes is terrible. They're also *quite* large. I can't use any fine loose leaf tea with this one, as well as some of my blends, because half the tea will just leak out into the water while infusing. It's a bit frustrating.Overall, its not terrible and its not great. I've had it for a while now and gotten quite a bit of use of it so I would say its problems aren't world-ending. Stick to blends that aren't fine, clean it thoroughly and attentively, and don't use it with any tea that might be finicky on the timing. It's a cute novelty that is still useful.
