I would like to discuss the after brew process. Can anyone explain why they put the teabag in the sink and not directly into the rubbish? There must be reasons behind this.

To reduce dripping before carrying it over to the wastebin. At least that's why I do it.

But you could hold the mug/pot over the bin.

I could if I weren't also prone to overfilling the mug so carrying it around needlessly was a bad idea :)

Unless the bin needs a spare hand to open it.

To prevent the rubbish containing a pool of water in it.
