Hi crymad

This thing really is easy to use. It is also a rather clever
contraption. I have been using these things for about 3 years now and
I still love them. It is my method of choice when not using a Yixing
pot and the Gongfu method.

There is a fine mesh screen covering the entire bottom of the
contraption . There is also a valve that keeps the tea in the
contraption until you place it on a cup. When you place it on a cup
the valve will open and the tea liquor will exit the bottom of the
contraption into the cup. This action basically ensures that all of
the water passes over all of the leaves. The contraption's valve will
not open on level surface, it only opens when placed over the rim of a
cup.

Look here to see a photo of the it in action, this site calls it an
"Abid" but it is the exact same device, same price too.
