Cons: Careful when placing tea above the filter and inverting to steep. When you set it aright you may still have hot, pressurized steam/water trying to escape.

Comment: consider this as a starter yixing for the office or everyday use. Works well with several Chinese greens and many darker roasted wulongs. Consider dedicating it to one category of tea (e.g. dark roasted wulongs) as aromas accumulate in the pot..
well, actually teapot!
Price (as of post):$34

Making your own tea at the office or at school can be a very healthy, affordable and rewarding experience, if preparation and clean-up are simple and convenient. Take a look at how easy the steeping cup can be, and try for yourself.
I used Dragon Pearl‘s steeping cup which is FREE with an order of 2 items or more. You may also want to try Adagio Teastasting set ($9) for ease of use and cleaning. This is what the pros use to evaluate teas.
