Hello Reneesarah! Welcome!

One way I like to do it is pour a little water in, swirl it around, then dump it and the leaves in the compost. You can also use a little tea towel and swirl it around to pull up all the leaves, or even your fingers. You can also try just shaking it out over the trash/compost. Finally, top-rack in the dishwasher works as well!

Swirl, dump, rinse, repeat. Super easy cleanup.

congrats on the new ingenuiTEA! It’s such a fun and convenient little brewer.
For cleaning out the leaves, here’s what I usually do:
Flip it over your compost or trash and give it a few taps to loosen most of the leaves.
Then rinse with warm water, and if anything’s stuck, I swirl a little water inside and pour it out again through the bottom valve.
For a deeper clean, I occasionally use a soft bottle brush and a little baking soda, no soap, since it can leave a residue.
Enjoy your brews — it’s a great way to experiment with all kinds of loose leaf!
