One Touch Tea Maker

I don’t actually own this, so I’m not reviewing it, but I’d just like to say this is very cool, as you get perfect tea every time. However, this isn’t… Traditional. Where’s the tradition, the culture, the past time of hand brewing the perfect cup?

Got this when Teavana had 25% off sale so cost less than $200.00! Love Love Love it!! I have used it everyday, several times a day since getting it. My husband calls it the magic machine. It does everything a tea maker should-you can’t mess up a pot of tea. It’s small enough on the counter, looks great and does what it says and more!!!

OH MY GOD!! So I fear that I will no longer be satisfied with a mere push botton kettle!! You can set the temprature, and when using the basket function can choose how long you wish the tea to steep for. There is a keep warm function (perfect for winter days :D). and you can set it so that it will start brewing automitcally (for when you need a bit of a push to get out of bed in the mornings).
SO, SO glad that I have this in my possession and recommend it to all those tea fiends out there ;)

Works just fine for large pots of tea, but doesn’t work particularly well for smaller steepings. In my view, this is a pretty major disadvantage. On the other hand, if large pots of tea are your primary application, you may well be very satisfied with this tea maker.

Enter the temperature,enter the time,and you’re done!

It’s that simple. And the machine lifts the basket for you when the brew time is complete. This helps me as a mom. All you have to do is pour!

However, you have to be really careful NOT to wash the outer part of the jug, as there are electrical components at the bottom….so washing the inside is a delicate task.

Overall, this is awesome. I say get it.

LOVE this machine. It really is such a fun way to brew tea. Your able to see the leaves infuse into the water, don’t have to worry about temperature, and clean up is fairly easy (simple rinse for me after use). It’s also a stylish piece of kitchen equipment. The bottom plate inside the kettle can discolor, but that is likely from the tannins and can be cleaned easily from my understanding. I’m leaving it the way it is for now to help build up flavor. Also, I wish that it had increments beyond 5 degrees, but that just nit picking. :)

Do not buy this unit , as i did for very light white-green to -oolong there is a taste chemicals in my tea !! .. i suspect it the large silicone witch is in direct contact with boiling water. if you like the strong tea , the chemically taste mostly disappears . is i stickly use it as a variable water heater .

Oh I love this tea maker! The only draw back is that you have to make a minimum of two cups (but I drink more than 8 oz at a time anyways). You can customize your brew temp and brew time and push the “tea” button let it do all the work. The tea comes out hot and delicious! It is a bit pricey (I got it as a Christmas gift) but well worth getting if you can! If I had three thumbs (I’d be a bit freaky) I would give it three thumbs up!

The best thing about this tea pot/kettle is that it can make tea for me while I’m lying in bed on a Saturday morning, and I can pour myself a steaming cupful the minute I get up. It really makes getting out of bed to make breakfast much more tolerable.

The tea, so far, comes out perfect every time. No more bitter, over-brewed tea because I walked off and no more setting the timer so my green tea doesn’t come out too astringent. Don’t know how I can go back to waiting for the kettle to boil in the mornings when I all I wanna do is crawl back in bed. Ultimate pampering. The best.

There are many good things about the Breville One Touch. It brews in a clear glass pot so you can watch the tea brew if you are into that kind of thing. It brews your tea at the perfect temperature for the perfect amount of time. That the basket holding the tea will travel up and down the cylinder to brew your tea is pretty awesome. It will keep the tea hot for an hour. So if you want to achieve perfectly brewed tea in a mechanized way it is pretty much perfect. If you are “hands on” about brewing tea, and appreciate the ritual of brewing tea that asks for your attention and participation, then this is not going to be about that.
