FAQs
Does this strainer come with the EM77 jug?
No, the Stelton Tea Strainer is a standalone accessory and the EM77 vacuum jug must be purchased separately.
Can I use this for coffee?
This accessory is designed specifically for tea; the mesh size may not be suitable for the fine grounds typically used in coffee brewing.
What are the dimensions of the strainer?
The strainer is 6 cm in width and 15.8 cm in height.
Is it rust-proof?
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and rust when maintained properly.
How do I clean tea stains from the mesh?
Soak the strainer in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of baking soda or white vinegar, then scrub gently with a soft brush.
Troubleshooting
Tea leaves escaping into the jug
Ensure you are using high-quality whole-leaf tea; extremely fine particles or dust may pass through any standard mesh strainer.
Strainer feels difficult to remove
Allow the steam to settle for a moment before lifting, and use a heat-resistant tool or cloth if the handle is too hot to touch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, ensure your EM77 jug is clean and dry. The strainer rests securely within the opening of the jug under the stopper. In terms of compatibility, this product is strictly intended for the Stelton EM77 vacuum jug; it may not provide a stable fit for other vessel shapes or sizes. For care and maintenance, the stainless steel material is designed for easy cleaning. It is recommended to rinse the strainer immediately after use to prevent tea tannins from staining the mesh. It is generally dishwasher safe, though hand washing with a soft brush can help preserve the finish of the fine mesh over time.
