GridfiniTEA

Now available: GridfiniTEA - a Gridfinity-compatible teabag dispenser!

I have a tea storage problem. I never know how much I have of which varieties.

I looked for an existing solution that meets the following requirements:

• Displays the tea variety
• Dispenses one bag at a time and loads from top or bottom
• Fits at least 20 bags
• Stacks vertically and horizontally
• Supports ergonomic bag extraction (some designs don't leave enough space for your fingers, so you have to sort of stab one finger in to slide a bag out)
• Looks nice and ideally doesn't require supports

The closest thing I found was Tea Bag Dispenser - Faster Stackable Interlocking by pwnate. In fact, it's basically perfect, but I couldn't shake the idea that Gridfinity compatibility would be a useful twist.

GridfiniTEA is my take on a Gridfinity-compatible tea bag dispenser. Being a Gridfinity bin means it's automatically stackable and compatible with any Gridfinity baseplate. Imagine a collection of tea and coffee related Gridfinity bins all neatly arranged.

This design will go live tomorrow as my entry to the Functional league. I appreciate your likes and downloads if you think it's useful!

I'm gauging interest in a few more tea and coffee ideas and would love your feedback:

• Horizontal version for drawers
• Loose leaf version that dispenses a teaspoon at a time
• Coffee bean version with different volume options for pour over, Chemex, and drip
• Coffee filter dispenser
