When you use good tea with large leaf pieces you cant fit enough in there to brew a mug of tea. If you do manage to stuff enough in the leaves dont have enough room to expand and you end up with a solid ball of wet leaves where only the ones on the outside of the ball infuse into the tea.
Just get a finum brew basket for $7 on ebay, problem solved. No need for teapots or any fancy kit. You can find all stainless ones too if pic related tickles your autism.
You can also find larger size tea balls like your pic that work fine if you really want to use one.
