We really need to get a picture of this one in action! If you turn it sideways, the drip tray turns too, but the strainer stays pointing straight down, which means you can pour the tea through it (and into a cup, hopefully). Then you pop it on the work surface and the drips go into the tray. Simple! The two sections come apart and reassemble very easily for when you want to rinse it out or put it in the dishwasher.
