The teapot dosent leak if you poor slowly and evenly there is not a drop spilled. The basket is very easy to clean and the lid is not hard to get off(just dont use the finger grips they are wasted). It makes it very easy to make tea and easier to work three cups into my mornnig routine due to the delayed brew timer.

On the down side I really wish there had been a setting that allowed you to change the brew temp and steep time manually. That single feature would have made this the best machine I have seen and would have led to absolutely no buyers remorse.

So, after countless trips to Teavana here in Wisconsin, and a horrendously large amount of tea, I finally decided to buy this. As I've told other people, it's probably not worth it if you don't see yourself amassing a large amount of tea, but if tea is what you love, you won't regret it for a second. It took me about 6 months to decide to purchase it (about a year or so after I started buying tea) and once I set it up (a breeze, by the way, no complicated set-up here!) I actually had to utter, "Where have you been all my life?" The only thing I have anywhere close to a "complaint" is that you can tell it wasn't made exclusively for Teavana since the tea settings aren't the same as Teavana's suggestions, but it's easy enough to figure out what setting goes with what tea. The timer feature is absolutely amazing - tea in the morning without having to brew it yourself. Who'd have thought?

This has totally transformed my tea consumption. I am a stay-at-home mom and never had the time to brew a good cup of tea. Now, I can! At night, I program for the morning pot, and my tea is perfectly brewed and patiently waiting for me. It makes the second infusion of leaves easier. I find with this feature, I truly get my moneys worth out of the more expensive teas.

It does have some design flaws as stated in a previous review. I have found just holding a towel under the pot spout and pouring while holding it higher prevents major drips. The top to the infusion basket is difficult to remove. I use my fingernail to lift up. But, these flaws are easily forgotten once the perfectly-brewed tea is sipped.

One tip: I place the rock sugar in the tea pot so that when the infused tea is released, it dissolves into a wonderfully sweetened pot of tea.

An amazing story: My coffee-addicted husband has given up coffee since he began drinking the tea made in this maker. I think that says it all about this machine...a modern miracle.

The Gourmet T Maker don't work correctly in program 1, 2, and 3 because the water don't reach the 205°F (I checked with my thermometer and it just reach 194°F), I tried in 3 different plugs and also in my office and my home, but still not work properly.

Wonderful Tea Maker!! Worth the money!! Teapot drips like most tea pots but, not even hardly worth mentioning!

Comments about Teavana Gourmet Tea Maker:

There are several design flaws.
1.) When pouring water from the teapot into the unit the teapot drips.
2.) The infusion basket has a sharp edge. I've nicked myself twice.
3.) It is nearly impossible to get a good enough finger grip on the infusion basket lid to lift it.
4.) And now, the sensor showing that the teapot is correctly placed on the base no longer works.
There is no way to reset the unit and override this error message. So, essentially the unit will not operate. All this and the unit has only been used for two months. I called customer service and they will get back to me in 48 hours. I'm not a satisfied customer today.

You don't know what you are missing, until you have the peerfect cup of tea brewed. Amazing product, I was worried about the price but once I had my first cup from it I thought it was the best money spent.

Comments about Teavana Gourmet Tea Maker:

All the reviews I read about this tea pot were great. The only problem is this tea pot was made to work at sea level where water boils at a higher temperature. When I fill the pot it just boils until it runs out of water. I thought I might just be defective so I returned it and received another one which does the same thing. I would not recommend this if you live two thousand feet or more above see level.

I just got my tea maker for Christmas. I love it! I used to have tea infuser and timer, spent too much time on making one cup of tea. My family was making fun on me when I was setting the timer to cool down water to proper temperature. Now I don't have to do that anymore. I just add tea to the tea maker and some water, choose a right program and go. Wonderful. One thing I would add is the ability to set your own temperature and timer, other than that - just great!

Fun, easy and makes the perfect cup of tea

Comments about Teavana Gourmet Tea Maker:

In my past experience, if the temperature for the tea was too high or too low, if I brewed my teas too long or too short, the teas tended to get bitter or not enough flavor. With this machine, even the most delicate Green Tea and White Tea, all turn out great. The machine presets the time and temperature based on each type of tea. It is carefree, easy to use, with a sophisticated computerized mind of its own. Fantastic! A tea master at my finger tip!
I am setting up another pot for 6 O'clock with my friends. You are invited!
