I bought this a few days ago, and already I want to roll my eyes at all of the tea filters I have now. Really? Who makes tea that way? ;)
Obviously, I’ve spoiled myself with this machine. It’s beautiful, works perfectly, and is easy to clean. My only (small) beefs are that rooibos still goes everywhere when steeping (yet the pour spout does an excellent job of keeping the crud in the pot), and that I can only keep things heated for about 30 minutes or so. Maybe it’s an hour (I read that somewhere, blanking out where) however it seems more like 30 minutes to me.
Other than that, it’s sheer perfection. My 5-year-old and I enjoy watching it rise and fall on basket mode, our private meditative bonding moment.

Thinking I may need one of these in the future :-)
It’s completely changed how I drink tea. I still have yet to figure out how to increase the keeping tea hot/warm time from one hour, however I’m drinking in excess of several liters a day – much more than I ever did before. Amazon has them for the cheapest that I’ve seen, although I grabbed mine at Teavana on sale.
After Christmas some time, I will have to order one.
I drink enough tea for it to be a worthwhile purchase.
I have an electric teakettle, but it is no where as nice.
Miss B – unfortunately there is no way to keep it hot after an hour…
As for the sale price, if you don’t want to buy it online, you can go into any Futureshop or Bestbuy and they will do a price match. I would agree I drink WAY more tea and it’s a crowd pleaser when people come over. They think it’s the coolest thing since sliced bread. Love it :)
