" ... It works well for me, and I can have tea ready brewed for my thermos in the morning. ... Green tea tastes less bitter when brewed at the correct temperature, so I drink more of that healthy beverage. ... "
" ... Bought my daughter the Mr. Coffee tea maker and it works great! ... "
" ... With the timer set, there is tea ready for me in the morning if I want a change from coffee. ... Drinking more tea now too. ... "
" ... It's great for loose-leaf tea. ... I drink a combination of green and pu-erh tea in the morning, decaffeinated green tea after that, and a combination of green, chamomile, and valerian at night to unwind. ... So after my tea is brewed I dump ice into the pot and let it melt and get cool, then pour it into a pretty antique glass pitcher, and carry it off. ... But the Teavana tea is really good for only one brewing in this machine, and you have to use a LOT to get any flavor. ... "
" ... Can select for a list of pre programed tea types and even change the strength of the brew. ... "
" ... i tell her since I've bought my breville tea maker tea is perfect every time. ... "
" ... It's as easy as brewing Mr. Coffee, but you aren't supposed to put chilled water in the carafe, so a little planning or microwaving is in order. ... So if you want to make great tea the easy way – I brew the full 1200 ml pot every morning – go for it! ... "
" ... Finally a way to have hot tea waiting on you when you wake up like the coffee drinkers. ... "

" ... It cleans very easily and quickly. ... "
" ... And the really, really fabulous thing is that I can put in my tea leaves or bags, and walk away . ... "
" ... Much easier to clean than other electric kettles I've owned. ... "
" ... Done and don’t let it sit then you won’t have stains! ... "
" ... This takes up much less space and the water heats in the glass carafe, with the stainless steel tea basket dropping into the water to steep and it seems to get the leaves much better exposed. ... "
