Customer Review: A tea lover's dream!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is a tea lover's dream!
I am a tea lover who for the sake of convenience most usually uses tea bags. I very much prefer loose leaf tea prepared correctly but confess to resorting to the easiest and quickest method most often, that is the dismal tea bag.
But now I have theThe Breville One-Touch Tea Maker and proper tea brewing could not be easier or quicker! This is a beautiful electric tea kettle with a movable infusion basket which is fully programmable to brew perfect tea every time, for all types of loose tea~ black, green, white or herbal, and for every taste preference ~ strong, medium, mild or custom.
It is also possible to use the kettle for simply heating or boiling water and it is amazing how quickly it heats to boiling temperature. It is faster than my stove top, so if I still want to brew a cup of tea with a tea bag or make a coffee with my drip cone or French Press, the water is heated to the proper temperature that I desire, in a flash!
Furthermore, it is programmable for automatically starting the tea brewing cycle or simple water heating at any desirable time, as well as providing a keep-warm feature for up to 60 minutes. I have experimented with both having tea or hot water for coffee ready when I wake up in the morning and the results were fantastic!
Most importantly, I need to remark about the quality of taste. The different teas I have brewed with my Breville have a flavor that is out of this world! I have made black, green, mate and herbal, each with different strengths, and all perfect. There can be no comparison between the Breville brew and the tea bag, no matter how fancy or expensive the tea bag might be! With all of its remarkable qualities, there is no reason for me to ever go back to my old ways of making tea. I can now retire my old stove top tea kettle.
The Breville's design is smart and doesn't take up any more kitchen space than a regular tea kettle or coffee butler. It does have a short power cord (with a very clever finger hole in the plug) and I had to get an extension cord to reach the nearest outlet. The power base is easy to program and doesn't take long to perfect according to one's taste or needs. Both the power base and glass jug are well built and the materials are highest quality. (The tea maker is regrettably manufactured in China but I am not going to detract from its rating for that factor).
Special care needs to be taken when cleaning and the jug is most definitely NOT dishwasher safe but I have no problem with that. It's actually a pleasure to take special care of such a high quality appliance.
This tea maker is not cheap by any stretch but I say it is worth every penny for the high quality it provides. I love my Breville and would purchase it again if I had to.
My recommendation for some excellent loose leaf teas:

Description of The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker
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.Coffee, Tea & Espresso
