The silicone is genuinely tasteless, which I didn't expect — my old metal ball always left a weird tang in the tea. Perching it on the cup rim works great for single mugs, and cleanup takes about ten seconds.

I fill it with loose-leaf and it sits right on my mug without slipping in, which I didn't expect from something so light. The silicone doesn't leave any plastic taste in the tea either.

The silicone is so soft and flexible that it just molds right onto the rim of my mug without slipping. I fill it with my favorite loose-leaf blend, and the single-cup size is perfect for my morning steep.
