Ball infusers are removed along with the tea leaves from the pot.

====Snap ball====

Snap ball tea strainers are automatically sealed with the force of the end of the handle that is circulated like a [[spring (device)|spring]]. The spring handle requires more metal to manufacture, so they are usually a bit more expensive than regular infuser balls.

The handle in snap ball tea strainers make them more practical:
* They can be used as a [[spoon]] to swirl solutions that will dissolve their content faster than tea infusers without a handle.
* Air inside a snap ball infuser can easily be eliminated by shaking the handle once it has been put into liquid, to make sure everything inside the ball becomes submerged.
