Beautiful. I used to find tea infusers a bit creepy. Something to do with a fear of metal objects tainting the purity of the ceramic mug. However this item would bring me joy to see bobbing in my tea. (via Wish List: Good-Looking Gifts for the Design Nerd.)
There’s a robot too:

I’ve never used such a device, are they popular?
I wonder if I could TIG weld something together.
