ingenuiTEA filter is loose
I just received one of the new ingenuiTEAs with the removable mesh filter. The problem I seem to be having is that since it's removable, it likes to remove itself when I pour water in if I don't pour very carefully. Sometimes it just floats up on it's own no matter how careful I pour. Is anyone else having this problem? Other than that, I love it!
I've got the same problem with mine, and was jsut looking for a solution. I just recieved mine the other week, it had been ok till i had the filter out. Usually i can get it to stay down long enough so that it will heat up and expand in the microwave but before that putting water and such into it is a pain.

oooooh, bummer about the loose screen and the broken one.
Loose screen guy, I know you've probobly tried this, but I'm going to suggest it anyway. That's just the kind of person I am:)
Did you try pushing the screen down (by the post, not the mesh a la broken screen guy's wife) till you hear a small pop? There's a small ridge that the screen is supposed to fit under.
Broken screen guy, did you e-mail adagio or use the chat with an customer service person option on the main page? I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to get you a new one.

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, dosn't try it on.

Yeah, it's pushed down all the way but there is no pop. The problem is because I'm using water from a Brita pitcher that sits in the fridge, the cold water hits it and it must contract just enough. It's fairly tight once the water is heated up. Maybe I'll just leave the Brita pitcher out of the fridge, I think that would be enough.Marlene wrote:oooooh, bummer about the loose screen and the broken one.

The replacement seemed tight like this that they sent me as well... I thought hey they fixed it! But unfortunately after a few uses it is just as prone to floating out even with room temp water. Big bummer. I think I am going to do a wrap of teflon tape to really lock it in there...Angi wrote:I received mine today. It wasn't loose at all. In fact, I sent an email asking how to get it off before I figured it out. I was affraid I would break it. But it didn't, and I figured that out about 10 minutes after I emailed them. I love it.

Re: ingenuiTEA filter is loose
I am sorry for resuming such an OLD topic, but I was thinking about wrapping teflon tape around my Ingenuitea filter too, and searching the forum let me know that somebody else tried it before.
I have some concerns about it; so I would love to learn from you ratpfink if and how it worked for you.
Did it kept the filter tight in place?
Most important, did you noticed any change in tea taste? Did the tape meld or wore off after some time?
Thanks so so so much!
