NESCO TM-1, Teamaker, White, 1 liter
The Nesco Real Tea Maker is a must have for any tea lover. It's perfect for making tea without the risk of over-steeping. The Real-Tea Tea Maker does it all - heats water, steeps leaves, and keeps tea warm so you can enjoy your tea and not worry about it cooling off. Its ability to brew loose or bagged tea, in addition to its variable steeping times, opens a whole world of possibilities. Water filters through the one liter heating chamber at perfect tea temperature (not too hot for white or green teas), steeps for the time selected and automatically flows into the glass pot below.
Accurately control the strength of the tea.
High quality allows perfect steeping. Holds loose leaf tea without seepage of leaves.
Loose leaf, tea bags or custom tea blends will all work with this tea maker.
Alerts user that unit is operating.
Keeps coffee/tea warm for 1 hr after brewing for a fresh cup every time.
Hand wash in warm, soapy water.
This tea maker has settings on the side for steeping times that will work starting from 2 minutes up to as long as 16 minutes.
Most teas are brewed for 4-6 minutes. The longer you brew the more bitter the taste can become (depending on which tea variety/blend you're using).
The really nice thing about this tea maker is that it's all automatic, so you can just leave it to do its work brewing, and come back to it when you're ready.
NOTE: This is the only tea maker currently on the market that works at high altitudes.
