The small one holds 16 oz if filled to the rim. I normally measure the
amount of water in my cup and then pour it into the IngenuiTea. I have the
small one since the 32 oz was only recently available. I don't always
measure the water now since I can gauge the amount of water by the letters
on the pot. It's great for rooibos but never heat with rooibos in the pot
since you'll have a mess in the microwave to clean up.

If someone were using the 32 oz model, I would suggest a thermal carafe or
serving pot in one liter capacity. Then you don't have to worry about
spilling. However, you can hold the pot above your mug and use your finger
to press the release disc.

It's easy to clean--I scoop out the leaves for composting and rinse. If
it's stained or I've brewed mint or flavored tea, I used an oxy-clean powder
to soak it and remove the stains.
