Tea Bag Bin


What a nifty gadget! Thea Stainless Steel Tea Bag Bin is a brand new concept invented by two blokes from Big Brother 2, Dean and Stuart. Having had huge coverage both in the press and on T.V, and being featured on Radio 1’s Chris Moyles Show, This Morning, Steve Wright’s Radio 2 show to name but a few, this is sure to be a huge hit in kitchens worldwide.

The press reported it like this: Big Brother housemates Dean and Stuart are set to make their fortune, not through a TV project, but through an amazingly simple idea they’ve developed called the Tea Bag Bin. As simple as its name, the Tea Bag Bin is a mini bin you keep next to the kettle to avoid dripping tea all over your kitchen surfaces and floors.

Tea addict Dean, who came up with the idea, approached ex housemate Stuart Hosking whose proven business experience was essential in moving the project further. Dean explains: ‘I just asked Stuart to run through the process of making a cuppa, right through from finding a cup, boiling the water, giving it a stir and then, when he got to the bit where he removes the tea bag, he said ‘…and then I plonk it into the kitchen sink.’ Stop right there, I said, why don’t you use a tea bag bin instead?’

Typhoo likened it to the invention of the mobile phone, saying, “Once you’ve used one, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without one.” With a potential 30 million kitchens in the UK alone, the Tea Bag Bin is set to become the latest kitchen essential. We all have our favourite way of dumping our used tea bags, whether it’s into a cup by the kettle, piled up in the sink or splashed across the kitchen floor. Think about it next time you make a cup of tea: What do you do with yours?

Here’s a demo video to show you just how easy the Tea Bag Bin is to use:
