What size opening is at the top? I would like to be able to use my tea infuser (sits on lip) in this so that I can have this server do double duty!

It's 2.75". I've been using a clever dripper, a bee house dripper and the hario dripper and they all work well with the Hario Server.

No, the lip that holds in on the cup edge would prevent that. I do think it would be plenty to keep heat from escaping too much while the tea steeps.Edit: actually, I think I have to take this back. if you don't flip it upside down, but just rest in on top, it does fit snuggly in the infuser. but... there will still be room around the edges of the infuser and your mug. I wouldn't call this a downside of the infuser. This one is my favorite.

We wanted to clear up some dimensional information - so thanks Elizabeth for asking. With the top on and locked the strainer is 2 inches in diameter at its widest point and just over 2 inches tall. It holds 5 teaspoons of tea, but we recommend using 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of tea to get great flavor and allow the tea to fully expand. Hope that helps, Don (Schefs)

Yes, you can. There are 2 handles. The smaller one is approximately 1 inch, the other approximately 2 inches. It is simple to lift the infuser with only the longer handle after your tea is the right strength. The handles do not fold upward, only down. It's quite sturdy, actually. If you purchase this handy little item, I hope you enjoy!

The infuser is removable if you just want to use the cup without it. I don't know how well the actual infuser will fit with another cup because the infuser is smaller than the size of the whole lid. It has a smaller threaded screw edge in the middle.

The diameter of the opening is 4 inches. If you read my review you will note that I do not recommend buying this teakettle.

The infuser will definitely not rest evenly on top of the mug, it is designed for a 3 inch mug, but it will work perfectly fine. I just tested it on a 4 inch mug and the handle keeps the infuser level. If you lip one side with the infuser and the handle of the infuser lips the other side it fits level. If you bump it and it "falls into" the mug, it just falls about a half inch into the mug, then jimmies sideways and works fine. Either case it will work. You might want to not will the cup to the brim in case the infuser falls into it.

I just saw this question. I am sorry to say that I cannot help you with this. I had ordered this for a sun tea jar and it was too big.

it has a nice heft to it, but more importantly, it fits under the Teavana PerfecTea tea maker perfectly. [ http://www.amazon.com/Teavana-PerfecTea-Tea-Maker-16oz/dp/B004X7DIHI ]

The infuser does take some space but, once you fill with ice you'll get full 2 liters. I fill it close to the brim and I put two 1 liter tea bags and it works great.

Yeah, but it's not made for that. You'll probably fit a handful of tea bags only. I also purchased the Stash tea rack and works better.

There is a metal insert to support the lid and to hold the infuser basket. You can remove the infuser without removing the insert.

About 4 1/2" tall and just about as wide. I didn't realize it comes with its own infuser. I love it, perfect for tea for two.

Good question, I purchased the G&H Tea Services Paris Tea-Cup Fits 2-1/2-Inch to 4-Inch openings Use in teapots or teacups. this is the best tea infuser ever! However, the depth of two inches is perfect but the top of four inches protrudes out of the pot. I steep in a separate container then transfer. The teapot top opening is Two and one-quarter inches across. I hope this is helpful.

About 3 and 1/2 inches. It is a great infuser. It keeps small pieces of tea out of a cut or pot.

Absolutely, the opening on top is about two plus inches across. There is a tube that pumpsThe coffee or tea out with a half inch opening on the bottom but it does not rest on the bottom for what it might mean to you. Hope this helps. It is a really nice unit.
