Customers are mixed about the stability of the teapot. Some mention that it stays in place, while others say that it doesn't sit deep enough into the water.

Warning, while we found the frog tea infuser to be very cute and fun to use, not everyone might like a frog peering over the rim of their teacup. There are other choices from Fred.
Additional bonus: Amazon shipment arrived ahead of original estimated time of arrival.
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024
As an infuser, this is meh. I find the holes too small and widely set to get good water movement through. As a result it takes a long time to infuse to a decent strength tea and I am not confident I got good extraction from the tea not immediately on the outer edge of the infuser. Because of the duration it took to infuse, my tea was colder than it should have been and had some flavor notes indicating over steeping (probably from the tea closest to the surface). On the plus side, even my relatively fine tea did not escape, which was nice. It is cute, that is its real purpose in life.
Fits a wide variety of mugs from plain straight thin walled coffee cups to, thicker rimmed mugs, and even glass double walls. Looks best in a clear glass to watch the infusing and generally be cute.
As a note, please do not cram a tea bag in the infuser or worse rip a tea bag open and put the contents in the infuser, it just doesn't turn out well and makes a bad cup.
