Breville One-Touch Tea Maker

I can not express how happy I am with this! Brewing tea is so easy, even my boyfriend makes it for us. We use the Breville many times a day. The Breville takes the guess work out of brewing tea. Simply fill the basket with the amount of tea needed and select your temp and brew time and just sit back or forget about it and complete other tasks around the house and come back to it within the hour and enjoy perfect tea. There is a feature that will keep your tea at perfect temp for an hour after brewing which is very convenient. You literally can't mess up brewing tea. I am so happy we purchased this.
I can't think of anything bad about this product. Cleaning it is easy. Simply rinse it out and wipe dry. I have noticed that I will need to clean the water scale from the jug but that is not a big deal.
I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about purchasing it. You will not be disappointed. I absolutely love it.

After drinking tea for a year and proving that my interest in tea wasn't a passing fancy, my husband bought me this tea maker for Christmas this year. I made 2 pots of tea on Christmas and have used it at least once a day since then.

I love that I can set it up the night before and my tea is perfect and waiting for me when I wake up. No more rushing around in the morning and over steeping my tea because I'm distracted. This this is awesome!

I also got a tea sampler and it's so easy to program the water to be perfect for any tea, I would have never dared to try green tea again without it!

I bought this product mainly because I knew that my family would want to make tea as well. The problem with that is that they always need me to be present to make them the tea, so I figured that instead of a cast iron set, I'd get this. It is truly amazing and easy to use. I use the directions on tea quantity written on the Teavana labels rather than those written in the Breville manual. When I add sugar I simply give the tea a swirl inside the maker so that the first cup is not light leaving the second cup really heavy in sweetness. I am very pleased with this product.

I bought 2 of these. 1 from the Teavana store near me, then had an accident a few days later that shattered the glass pitcher on this. There is no way to get a replacement pitcher, but I already loved it so much that I ordered another one that very night. Making tea was a bit of a chore, getting it to the right temperature, steeping it just right. This makes it so simple that I drink 5 times as much tea as I did before now. I wish it had finer temperature adjustments, it only goes in increments of 5 degrees C, and I have teas marked for things like 98 degrees C. Using it to the nearest 5 C seems to work well enough. I also wished the basket shape would allow you to use standard coffee filters on it, it would make dumping it out a little bit easier.

I have been a Teavana fan for a few years now and have developed quite a loose leaf tea collection. However, I didn't brew it as often as I would have liked because by the time I boiled water, I wouldn't have the time to wait for the tea to brew. I have looked at the Breville many times with longing. I was lucky enough to receive it for Christmas, and it has been used every day, several times a day since! Just love it! Perfect tea, quickly and without a mess. And now I can wake up to a freshly brewed cup! Just what us non-coffee drinkers needed!

This product single-handedly changed me back to a tea drinker. I used to be a big enthusiast, but after I had my second baby, I would always end up over-steeping, getting the temperature too hot/too cold, etc. It simply became such a hassle that I actually switched over to coffee (which I never really enjoyed, mind you, just needed a hot soothing drink to get the day started).

I told my husband to get me this for my birthday because I couldn't fake liking any more jewelry (haha). This appliance is a MIRACLE for tea drinkers, and so easy to use, that even the technologically-illiterate (like myself) have no problem operating it. Perfect brew every time. I make at least two pots a day, and I've even turned my husband into a tea fan! No more expensive teas going to waste. If you're a fan of the high-end green and white teas particularly, this product is a must.

I really cannot recommend this product enough. This is the best appliance I've ever owned (it even surpasses my GHD flat-iron... and I'm a hairstylist so that's saying something!)

Stop reading these reviews and BUY THIS already!!

Makes the best tea! I got one for Christmas and absolutely love it. The tea is so smooth. I even tried tea bags and they came out amazing.

I have been drooling over this tea maker for quite some time now. Imagine my delight when I walk into my favorite Teavana store and find it at a discounted price...with a $25 gift certificate to boot! I've only had it for 4 days...and I've meade multiple brews of multiple size and tea types (green, black, etc) already. Every single time this machine is the epitome of convenience and quality.

First the bad thing. A lot of people say the jug is glass, mine is obviously a slightly different model as the jug is plastic. This causes it to hold the flavor of a tea prepared in it. And I do wash with mild soap and rinse and then boil TWO times between teas.

Now the good. I am very happy with my purchase.

Oh my, the tea is so completely awesome. About 1/2 the teas I would purchase were flavors I liked as the samples in the store. But the teas never tasted nearly as good as in the store because I brewed them wrong. I was almost about to give up on making my own teas except orange pekoe (you know, the stuff in every restaurant). I then saw this tea maker. I then saw the price, another oh my, how could they charge that much. I left the store and just could not get it out of my mind that maybe with this I could make a good cup/pot of tea. 4 days later I returned and bought it. It is a WORLD of difference. Every cup of tea is perfect. I have abandoned soda at the house completely. The teas are so good, I skip the sugar most of the time too. After tasting it working, I consider the money very well spent and actually think it is INEXPENSIVE.

I have also greatly expanded my choice of teas. They are not only not bitter but are great tasting. (I now have over 40 tins with different teas).

I just wish you could buy extra jugs so I could just brew one tea (or at least 1 family like Chai) in each jug.

As to recommending it, I am considering giving one to my best friend for a birthday present.

This is THE BEST! I don't like my tea strong. When I found out that I could control the strength of my tea with The Breville Tea Maker, I was thrilled. Brought it home and was NOT DISAPPOINTED! Makes the BEST tea. Is VERY easy to use and clean. I would HIGHLY recommend this to all tea lovers!
