"This stylish little container made from high grade steel or plastic sits happily next to the kettle and swallows up used teabags keeping your kitchen mess free. Available in chrome, brushed steel and a selection of colours the Teabag Bin is a must have item for your home."

I've used one of those tea bin things. It was fiddly and to be honest pretty unhygienic, or at least messy, as you end up with a great pile of teabags and trickles of tea running down the side. Then you have to empty it anyway - which is considerably fiddlier than simply putting the teabag in the bin in the first place....
I'm not sure what problem this is supposed to be the solution for!
