I have had this mug for 3 months now and the infuser broke. I was making tea today and went to empty the tea in the garbage when the basket broke from the brim of the infuser. I’ve never put it in the dishwasher and always wash it by hand so I was surprised that is only lasted 3 months. I have other infusing mugs that I’ve had for the same amount of time that work just as well and are still intact!
