Do the saucers fit nicely on top of the cup, if I wished to cover the cup to keep the tea hot for a while? Thank you.

Yes Diana, The saucer fits perfectly on the top of the cup. I also use it to cover the cup to brew my tea. I even use this as a saucer for other glass mugs and cups I own. I love tea and tea cups.Hope this helps.

Personally, I wouldn't. Only because there is an opening to hold the K-Cup, but only on the top. The bottom sides are all open. It's not like there is an individual whole for each tea bag. I'm most positive they would fall under the top spinner and get stuck inside the pod holder. Sorry!

I use these glasses are really tea mugs rather than the typical tea cup with saucer. They are much smaller than a typical 12 oz mug, but PERECT for multiple small infusions. I looked on the Adagio site for you and they don't make saucers for any of their tea mugs. They do have larger tea cups with glass saucers to match, though and they are available right here on amazon.

I don't know. I just fold over the top and place in teapot....have no trouble with the loose tea slipping out.

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I bought this for an out of state family member. It took a bit of time to make contact with him and have him give me the information that you requested. The base of the Turkish tea cups are 1 1/4" in diameter. So, it will fit inside of the 2" saucer, but not snuggly. I hope that my answer was helpful.

They should work well. We have All-Clad stainless lids and they do the trick...no tea pot however. The handle covers may be loose given they are universal and will fit many types of lid handles. They are secure however and avoid the need for a pot holder. Hope this helped.

I believe the base is too large for a saucer. Most people wouldn't use one with this cup. These cups are used in Paris cafés without saucers.

The mesh of the infuser is very fine. It prevented debris of the loose tea from getting into the cup. There were still some very very fine particles that escaped that were like the texture/size of cinnamon but I do not think any infuser can prevent that.

Tea light candle goes inside... grate goes on top (see illustration) .... put cast iron tea pot (or metal or ceramic) on top of grate.. light candle.. enjoy! Keeps tea pot warm for about an hour. Some people just place a ceramic mug directly on the grate to keep their cup of coffee warm... also can be used to keep melted butter "melted"... just be sure to use a heat tolerant vessel. Enjoy!

Absolutely. You could put loose tea or another hot beverage in there. It's a removable infuser, although having quickly tried it, the lid doesn't snap in tightly without the infuser there. It sits loosely on top, but that shouldn't be a problem.

The one I ordered did not have the saucers. Mine measures 11 and two quarter inches. Keep in mind, the seller made good on the broken cups which were not properly packaged. Good luck P.S. I found a nesting set of coffee cups at Pier One. They are lovely and affordable.

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.

I have not heated coffee in the cups but I have reheated using the plates and they do not get hot. I think the cups may as they are thinner than a coffee mug.

No more than two inches without the saucer. I am not home to measure but I use them almost daily. Good set.

They do rest in the saucers pretty well and on their own. My daughter rarely tips them over, and they do a great job of having water poured into them.

My husband bought me the teapot for Christmas from a fine china shop and I wanted the cups and saucers also. I bought these and, yes, they were identical to the teapot, made of fine bone china.

I wouldnt put hot items in the cups especially if they are for little kids. The cups are great but I do not think they would be thick enough for hot items.
