The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is a revolutionary tea experience. The fully automated tea basket moves down, then up, gently agitating the leaves to precisely infuse your tea. Push the basket button and watch the basket cycle in and out of immersion. Seeing is believing. Different tea varietals such as Black, Green, White, and Oolong require exact water temperatures and controlled brew times to allow their unique flavors and aromas to develop during brewing. The One-Touch Tea Maker eliminates the guesswork so you can enjoy a perfect cup of tea, every time. Fully programmable for all types of tea, water temperatures, and steep times. The moving tea basket allows water to circulate freely around the individual tea leaves for maximum infusion. Set the timer and wake up to the aroma of your favorite brew. The German-made Schott glass kettle is durable and stain resistant. Relaxation - from start to finish. Works in 1500 Watts, 120V, 60Hz.
This review is from: The Breville One-Touch Tea MakerI have had 2 other machines. The Zarfina and the TriniTea, neither was truly impressive. This machine blew my socks off.First - the construction. Stainless steel, glass, black rubber, and plexiglass for the kettle handle.Second - totally customizable brew temperature (160 degrees - 212 degrees, 5 degree increments), customizable brew time (1:00 to 10:00 in 0:30 increments). Third - amazing magnetically suspended tea basket moves in and out of the tea during brewing.Fourth - keep warm feature, timed start feature, it also keeps track of the time since you brewed the tea so you can track its freshness.Fifth - can operate as an electric kettle, and just heat water if you leave out the basket.One thing to consider is that the kettle cannot be placed in the dishwasher. To clean you boil water or vinegar for 3:00.The one thing I feel is that I have gotten every bit of my money's worth from this item. Nothing about it feels cheaply made. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves tea....
This review is from: The Breville One-Touch Tea MakerAfter hearing about this tea maker during a recent visit to a tea shop, I logged in to Amazon to read the reviews, and scoured the web for videos of this tea maker in action. The reviews are correct - this is an incredible appliance.PROS:- effortless to make perfect tea- tea comes out exactly right- tea prepared at the proper temperature- water temperature is held while tea is steeped- can be set to brew tea at a programmed time- can also function to just make hot water- keeps tea hot for 1 hour after brewing- includes a tea scoopCONS:- pricy, but worth the money- carafe cannot be washed under running water- electric cord is a little shorter than I would like (would've preferred 4-6 inches longer)After unpacking the tea maker, all that's needed is a quick rinse of the basket, and running the tea maker on the hot water cycle with a full pitcher of water, and then you're good to go. I'm primarily an herbal tea fan, so I grabbed one of my favorite loose teas and gave it a shot. The recommended setting for a strong brew was 5 minutes at 212 degrees. After putting the tea in the basket and hitting the button, the water quickly reached its steeping temperature, and then like magic, the tea basket was gracefully lowered into the water. After the set amount of time, the basket was raised back up, and the tea was ready to drink. A few bits of the loose tea escaped the basket, but a well-designed pour spout features a mesh screen to prevent these bits from making it to your cup.The device comes preprogrammed for herbal, black, white, green, and oolong teas, but also has a custom mode where you can set your brewing temperature and steeping time. For each of the preprogrammed teas, you can select a brew strength of strong, medium, or mild. I prefer my tea strong, and with the strong setting, the tea came out perfect. If you wanted to make iced tea, you would probably need to set it to custom.The steel look of the base is sleek and modern, and the illuminated buttons (when pressed) make it easy to determine which cycle the tea maker is using for preparing the tea. The backlit LED display also indicates the selected temperature and steeping time. Once the tea cycle begins, it indicates the current water temperate, then counts down the steeping time once steeping has begun. After steeping completes. the LED displays the amount of time since the tea was brewed, up to 1 hour.Tea making really could not be any easier than using this product. I was a little unsure of spending this much money on a tea maker, but the tea comes out amazing - better than when I've brewed/steeped it manually. I'm seriously considering purchasing a second for my office....
