Shpx me, a stainless steel re-useable tea bag. What will the think of next.

I've had various different versions of this over the last 20 years.

Yep, I agree.
The problem with those gadgets is, I think, thermal capacity.

Present teapot holds 8
mugfuls, wot is more than the kettle. I need a kettle bigger than 3

One can add extra boiling water to a pot of tea without detriment
provided that it is done quickly (ie soon after the first lot) and
that one has not drained the pot first.
Also it must be done quietly behind curtains.
