I hold my pot over a waste container, tap on my pot gently with my finger and the bulk of the leaves usually fall out. Then I rinse the pot under running water from the tap (at home), over my stainless steel sink (one of my favorite things in my kitchen, after losing too many pieces to cracking or shattering with a slip over ceramic sinks). I also run water backwards through the spout to flush out the leaves caught in the filter.
At work, it’s trickier. I do not have a kind sink for rinsing, so I do more with flushing the spout and rinsing with water from my tea kettle, and I keep a large plastic bucket for waste. I often have to resort to wiping out some leaf with fingers or tissue before a final rinse.
(All of that is loose leaf)
