Beautiful set, but sifter is not very practical

First, I want to make sure that I state right away that I think the Fellow Matcha Set is beautiful, sleek, and elegant looking.
Despite reading concerns at least 2 other reviewers pointed out regarding the stainless steel sifter, I decided to go ahead and buy the Fellow Matcha Set in black as I wanted to get the set for my office where I keep my original Fellow Corvo EKG Pro Kettle I purchased a couple of years ago in the solid Classic Black color.
I unfortunately have to agree with other reviewers who feel that the sifter is problematic for its intended use. It's impossible to get all of the matcha powder to go through the tiny holes in the sifter and it is too shallow which makes it too easy to inadvertently knock matcha powder all over the place. Because of it, I end up with a mess on my hands and wasted matcha powder that remains stuck in many of the tiny holes in the sifter.
Also, one needs to practice extra patience using the Fellow Matcha Set sifter as it will take you longer to make matcha compared to seconds using a typical stainless fine mesh sifter. So, although I will keep the Fellow Matcha Set sifter, you will see in the included photo that I also have a stainless steel fine mesh sifter that I have been using instead.
I hope Fellow will consider making improvements to the Fellow Matcha Set sifter and I hope that Fellow will have a new and improved sifter available for purchase separately for those of us who bought the Matcha Set with this version of the stainless steel sifter.
This matcha set is very modern and pretty - we have other Fellow products and it looks great on the countertop. The spouted bowl is a great size - lovely and functional, whisk and its stand are high quality. The scoop handle is a bit short if you use matcha from a bag. The filter is the only part of this set that needs improvement. using the spoon to push the matcha through it is difficult and can get pretty messy.
Aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. I got this for my husband as a gift and he has not stopped using it since. He loves it. The filter could be a little finer, but overall love it!
I've recently gotten into having Matcha regularly and from the sets that I saw out there, Fellow's was the one that really caught my eye.
It is a beautiful addition to my coffee bar, and I have already made some tasty Matcha with it. The materials used are typical high quality Fellow.
I've seen some reviews where the sifter is mentioned as being bad, but I have had no issues with it. To be fair, I think Fellow opted more on the design side versus pure functionality when it comes to the sifter, as it sits beautifully on top of the Chawan. I think it does need getting used to, if you are coming from using a traditional sifter, but it definitely does the job nonetheless.
Overall, it is a beautiful set that makes the process of making Matcha as enjoyable as drinking it.
I love the look and quality of this matcha set. My one small critique is that the metal sifter could use some improvement, it takes a long time to sift the matcha powder. I think a finer mesh sifter might work better. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase.
