Agreed with both of you. I actually searching for a good steeping mug myself, as I think they’d produce better tea than my current mug + tea ball set up.
I suppose the convenience is there, as it’s pre-measured. Not everyone wants to measure out tea, though I don’t think it takes much effort. I do need to get myself a small scale for the work desk, though. I keep putting that off.
I think this product is trying to bank on the appeal of being “clever” looking. Most modern people (that I know) are very neophillic. If an old way exists, they will invariably select the new because it is new.
