You should read the manual first. Max water for tea making is 1200ml not the full 1500. This way your tea leaves are not soaking in the warming up water. Just saying:)
Yes it was my bad on that one. I was so excited to crack this bad boy open (and do an impromptu video) that I totally missed the mark on that one. I totally looked like a noob AFTER I realized what I did but was a too tired and lazy to redo the vid..
But still so helpful and thorough...bought one but haven’t tried it yet thought too complicated but after watching your video, thought to myself after all it is not that complicated. Thank you again for your video.
Lol you busted me! Yes I am aware of my mistake after the fact so alas I made a newbie mistake with this brewer. Yes if you’re making tea then no more than 1200 mls of water.
Thanks for a great review! Bought one based on your review. A great purchase! Your assessment was right on! Made purchasing much easier! Thanks so much again!
You’re absolutely correct and I did notice this AFTER the fact when I published the video. I knew after seeing it that I messed up. I didn’t bother refilming the footage but I can assure you that I never made that rookie mistake ever again. The tea brewer is used daily and my wife jokes jabs me every so often about me overfilling the brewer in my video demo.
@@piercedasian ... those of us who have the ability to learn from others mistakes appreciate your candor. I'm a little late to the party but my wifey will be getting one of these "The Tea Makers" for her birthday. LOL
The settings were defaulted based onsteeping time for specific teas its what makes the system simpler compared to on the stove guessing its basically the whole point. The best way to try the system is to use the default steep settings first to see if you like and then adjust from there. Just to be clear on that so there is no confusion about why they are defaulted to a certain temp on the type of tea button. I have been using this for a couple years and I have no need to make adjustment. Just add water stick in the bag, select the tea type press button. The big benefit is the timer. I set this up for my wife the night before and its been on time all the time. Yes there is a difference from what you make on the stove not a huge difference but my wife tastes is, better than mine, a difference and she has not used the stove tea kettle since. Is it worth it?? Well the price tag speaks volumes so this product is aimed at a tea lover who loves gadgets and can afford to swing the cost or a tea lover who loves to save time and wants a better tasting tea. Makes a great gift for a tea lover.
yeah simplicity and "bling" are the selling features of this product. I'm not sure if I agree with the price tag BUT for the tea aficionados I guess it is worth it. It is certainly convenient but wow it is expensive. So far my wife loves it and she can taste the difference too! Thanks for your input on my vid!
Thank you for your replying.I have been using it on a daily basis..i like it but i feel that somehow the tea sits there for a long time and it does kinda change its own flavor. Wonder what you think? Thank you again for your video. It did motivate me to start using the tea kettle.
it does make a difference in the "consistency" of the tea such that every cup you pour AFTER brewing that the temp is always the same. The tea does indeed taste better as the dullness/bitterness of the tea is mitigated through proper and consistent brewing. I'm sure I could accomplish the same using a manual brewing method BUT.... I'm lazy and don't put enough effort to make a cup tea properly so now I have a glorified tea kettle to do it for me :)
Before this I used a french press with a timer... This is an enormous advantage since it doesn't overbrew and keeps it hot for up to 60 minutes. But if you can't justify this, by all means, use a smaller french press, it'll do the same job.
yep for sure. I still use a french press because at times it is just simpler b/c I have hot water in my hot water pot vs. having the wait to boil and brew my tea. BUT my spouse wanted one so here we have it :)
yes that is true but I still don't dare do that right away until it has cooled off a bit. The owners manual even states to let things cool off before filling with cold water which further adds to my fears of it shattering in my hands.
did you like how it brews your tea? Certain teas all taste the same brewed with this machine or not but other teas I've found the aromatics and flavours seems to be better when brewed optimally.
Glad you liked the vid. Yes you’re right it is the touch2o faucet - the pillar model if I remember correctly. Generally works good with the exception that sometimes it acts up. I like it that it keeps things sanitary when handling things like meat and you don’t have to use your filthy hands to turn it on.
Thanks for this very in-depth and insightful video! I'm just stumbling upon the fact that this Tea Maker by Breville exists, although I think the newer units look a bit different in the buttons/layout. How easy to clean once the contents have been finished off? The karaffe, the plate etc? Since the karaffe cannot be washed under running water, I'm guessing it has to be wiped with a clean towel. Is the tea-basket dishwasher-friendly or is that also a handwash-only thing?
I normally just give it a rinse or a light rubbing with some soap on a sponge to clean out the insides. I don't bother trying to scrub the tea stains out every time (it isn't necessary and is actually not desirable to do that). Give it a few good rinses and call it a day. You're correct in that it cannot be submerged so be careful when cleaning it out and only allow water to be on the insides of the carafe.
It can get slightly wet so long as it isn’t submerged in water. We clean ours all the time and never had issues with it because we prevent the outsides and the electronics from getting wet.
While I love loose leaf teas, I have a humongous amount of tea bags. Could I put tea bags into the basket? I know it’s a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway.
I would add the milk into your cup and not into the carafe. You CAN put it in but it just means more washing for you. I rarely have to wash mine out with a lot of scrubbing or soap. Normally a good rinse and the occasional boil of plain water is what I mostly do to keep mine clean. Yes there are plenty of tea stains but I've read that it is a good thing to keep in the carafe. Since I drink mostly the same teas that it does not seem to have affected the taste at all.
Hey there thanks for your review. I know this can be used as a tea maker and a normal kettle. From your experience is this practical as an all in one solution or should it stick only to tea? After I’ve made a tea, say there’s a little left in there and someone else wants to boil some water for cooking pasta. Would I need to get rid of the remaining tea, clean the kettle, then boil the water? How easy is the cleaning process ? Thanks In advance
We use ours exclusively for tea but you could use it to boil plain water. The clincher with using a tea brewer to boil water is that it CAN transfer the remnant flavours of what was previous brewed into the newly boiled water. Some people like myself can taste it but could care less while others would kick and scream if their boiled water had any taste to it. I clean our brewer by simply dumping out the tea leaves rinsing the basket and then using a soapy sponge to clean the insides and the parts. There is a buildup of tea stains inside the tea basket and the kettle portion of it but we leave it like that because it doesn't impart any weird tastes to our next batches of tea. In some cases I don't need to wash the basket or kettle out with soap at all and a plain rinse with water is all that is sometimes needed to keep things clean.
Thanks for getting back to me. I got the kettle in the end and I love it. As you said I found the changing between tea to boiling water has the residue issue if the tea has a strong taste. Eg Chai with its spices or Earl Grey with is bergamot. What I’ve started doing if I know it’s going to be needed for plain water for cooking etc I rinse out any remaining tea, then run the kettle on boiling mode with a teaspoon or two of citric acid. And leave it to cool down then rinse again. Taste goes and the kettle is clean as an added bonus 👍🏼
What is minimal temperature that can be set? I need for cold extracts 30 Celsius. I noticed 70 F (which is about 21 C) and seems ok. The temp step is 5 degree or?
hello piercedasian, can you tell me, what is the maximum brewing time, wich you can adjust in custom brewing time mode ? also, i wannt to ask, about another situation, for example, you made 1,5 liters of tea, and you drank only 500ml, so you have left 1000ml of tea. so, is it possible, to warm up this tea for optimal drinking temperature ? (i mean, not just to boil it, but just warm it up for drinking, for example 50-60-70-80 degrees of celcius ?
To reheat tea you will need to boil the water and then enable the keep warm function and wait out the temperature the tea to drop down to the optimal temperature. Custom brew time maxes out at 10 minutes. Sorry for taking so long to reply.
yep absolutely! There is even a hot water function on it. You can dial in a custom temperature for tea which you can just use to heat your water to. Very customizable.
Yes I do, it's a healthier alternative to drinking gallons of coffee a day. I was getting heart palpitations from drinking so much coffee that I had to make the switch.
Nice review! Is this Electric Tea Kettle still functioning properly and would you recommend it? I need to know how products hold up over time, thank you.
Hello, is it still operational in 6 years? :) I wanted to ask you what's the minimum amount of tea can be brewed using this tea maker. Is it capable to brew/infuse a single cup of tea (200 ml)
Yes it is! This brewer really isn't mean to brew just a single cup of tea bu approximately 1.2 litres of it (in my video I actually overfilled the water for tea making. Basically fill the carafe just below where the tea leaf basket is and then let it do its thing. Minimum amount of brewing I would think is about 3/4 of a liter.
I agree! The 1 hour keep warm cycle is a bit shot and should honestly be user selectable. I would agree that it does a fine job of brewing tea very good.
Great review answered all my questions concerning its functions. The way to talk it seems you must be involved in technology like engineering, or physics. Cool. Thanks.
Lol great guess, you are absolutely correct! I worked for a technology company for 16 years and my job is focused on quality assurance so you can imagine where my OCD tendencies came from. :)
@@piercedasian Good to hear, I worked in R & D, Engineering, QA management, upper management, the media and now own my own business. Nice meeting you and hope to hear from you again. Ron
You can but it doesn't cool it only heats so you COULD put ice in this after you've brewed the hot tea and let it chill but DO NOT brew hot tea and then dump in a ton of ice as you could break the glass. Best to just brew ice tea in pitcher or something.
yep, the holes in the basket are quite fine and so far the tea leave I've used haven't really passed through the fine mesh. If you had something like "matcha powder" then that would probably pass through it but you don't "brew" matcha powder.
That tea is from a company called Teavana. My understanding is that Starbucks bought them out and closed all the Teavana stores. You can likely find a similar tea at your big brand name tea/ coffee shops. Another suggestion is to try out David's Tea.
more videos about my braces? Were they that obvious in this video :( I am actually due for a video VLOG update. I have a wire change appointment next month so I definitely have to share what other "goodies" they've put in since my last video. Give me a few days and make sure you're subscribed to my channel to get the latest updates on my progress!
I certainly am not disagreeing with you. It is fanciness that I'm sure one could easily make do without BUT I'll admit that it does make brewing almost fool proof (not that I personally cared much before getting this thing). In my case it was on sale, it is neat to use and most importantly happy wife = happy life
Sheesh, Americans are not at all well-versed with tea enough to be making appliances like this - it's a British practice (along with former-colonized/commonwealth countries). So much for trying to pin this on American corporatism, lol.
Different teas require different quantities. That batch show in my video surprisingly faded out fairly fast. Chinese tea however, seems to go forever on a single scoop. YMMV.
Water is too high, your boiled the tea while it’s steeping, hence you have boiled the actual tea and ruined the flavour completely. As a man I tend not to read the instructions because most men are ignorant but sometimes we need to read the instructions.
@@piercedasian Okay fine, I'll just agree with you because we're all in a pandemic and us humans should not be arguing right now. Stay safe, friendly person. Be healthy.
@@krankenheim13 Let's have a cup of tea to that! It was an honest mistake on my part and certainly not worth arguing about. I now know better :). Stay safe as well!
You should be more careful with the Styrofoam. When I saw you pulling it then breaking it then throwing it around, I was appalled and had to stop watching.
Careful with styrofoam in what sense? It isn't like I can inhale it and the local municipality won't recycle it. I thoroughly wash everything before using it so I'm not sure what the issue is.
You should read the manual first. Max water for tea making is 1200ml not the full 1500. This way your tea leaves are not soaking in the warming up water. Just saying:)

9:59 You've defeated the whole purpose of the lifting mechanism by filling the water level so high it's in constant contact with the tea basket.

it is a pretty sweet (but expensive) tea brewer. We use ours all the time!
what's the point of having a drop system if the tea if the sitting in the water before you even start
he overfilled it, you're supposed to fill under the basket unless you just want lots of hot water without tea
@@sexypekk exactly
The glass will not shatter if you put in cold water after. It's termal shock restistant german glas.
yes that is true but I still don't dare do that right away until it has cooled off a bit. The owners manual even states to let things cool off before filling with cold water which further adds to my fears of it shattering in my hands.
And the instructions clearly state that it must not be rinsed on the outside, let alone submerge it. Only wash it on the inside!!
Great review 👏

Yeah I don’t get people. Haters will be haters and honestly I could care less. Glad you liked my video! Thanks for watching.
In fairness it is very annoying
Great video overview! That's also a nice Delta Touch2o faucet that you have there. Sad, I think they discontinued that particular model faucet.

Hope you're enjoying you tea brewer :)
Max water for tea is 1200 ml, not 1500.
lol you caught that huh? I saw that AFTER the fact and said "damn it!"
Oh well, the viewers get the gist of what i'm trying to do.
piercedasian its ok ;) its a great tea maker anyway, i love to use it
Oh by the way great video!
glad you liked my vid. Thanks for watching!
So if you can’t get outside glass wet how do you clean it
It can get slightly wet so long as it isn’t submerged in water. We clean ours all the time and never had issues with it because we prevent the outsides and the electronics from getting wet.
While I love loose leaf teas, I have a humongous amount of tea bags. Could I put tea bags into the basket? I know it’s a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway.
yep tea bags inside a tea basket is definitely not a problem.
Also, is this suitable to make milk tea? I'm guessing the milk would have to be added separately after pouring out the steeped tea from the karaffe?
I would add the milk into your cup and not into the carafe. You CAN put it in but it just means more washing for you. I rarely have to wash mine out with a lot of scrubbing or soap. Normally a good rinse and the occasional boil of plain water is what I mostly do to keep mine clean. Yes there are plenty of tea stains but I've read that it is a good thing to keep in the carafe. Since I drink mostly the same teas that it does not seem to have affected the taste at all.
wow this guy drinks a lot of tea O_o
not me, my spouse does :)
I am 59 and I think this looks good but I think at my age I have learned how I like my tea
I have looked and can't find one
you can't find the Breville tea brewer? They're very common and can be found on Amazon.

Can iced tea be made with this
You can but it doesn't cool it only heats so you COULD put ice in this after you've brewed the hot tea and let it chill but DO NOT brew hot tea and then dump in a ton of ice as you could break the glass. Best to just brew ice tea in pitcher or something.
Does this work with extra fine tea leaves?
yep, the holes in the basket are quite fine and so far the tea leave I've used haven't really passed through the fine mesh. If you had something like "matcha powder" then that would probably pass through it but you don't "brew" matcha powder.

It is definitely slower but that is the science behind making perfectly brewed tea. Did it honestly taste better? I can’t tell the difference...

You did NOT need to waste all of that tea. And you're not supposed to make that much tea in it.
Different teas require different quantities. That batch show in my video surprisingly faded out fairly fast. Chinese tea however, seems to go forever on a single scoop. YMMV.
I can only imagine the electric bill.
it wouldn't be any different than a normal kettle.
Water is too high, your boiled the tea while it’s steeping, hence you have boiled the actual tea and ruined the flavour completely. As a man I tend not to read the instructions because most men are ignorant but sometimes we need to read the instructions.
Yes I realized that after the fact. Good eye :). I have since lowered my initial water level when brewing the tea.
you can do all of this with a french press...
you can but the coolness factor isn't there like it is with this thing.
You over filled it for tea, making its whole purpose useless...
Yes I realized that after the fact. Fill only to the line that says tea.
@@piercedasian Yeah, so take down this video and shoot a valid one. This is not a helpful demonstration.
I can't believe I wasted 10 minutes of my time to find out that you didn't know how to use the unit.
I don't think one can use it "wrong" but rather that the only thing I messed up was the initial water level (too high) which is hardly a deal breaker.
@@piercedasian Okay fine, I'll just agree with you because we're all in a pandemic and us humans should not be arguing right now. Stay safe, friendly person. Be healthy.
@@krankenheim13 Let's have a cup of tea to that! It was an honest mistake on my part and certainly not worth arguing about. I now know better :). Stay safe as well!
How on earth do you pronounce that "bray-vil" ?
That's how I say it... "bray-vil"
But how my dude? You burnt your tongue on some hot tea or something?
I probably said it weird in my video because I had orthodontic braces at the time in my mouth and hence why it probably sounded "off".
Not good enough!
You got it all wrong bro
How so?
You should be more careful with the Styrofoam. When I saw you pulling it then breaking it then throwing it around, I was appalled and had to stop watching.
Careful with styrofoam in what sense? It isn't like I can inhale it and the local municipality won't recycle it. I thoroughly wash everything before using it so I'm not sure what the issue is.
i think they were referring to the sound it made. some ppl dont like that noise hahah
Lmao
it is breville not braville so say it as it is
tomatoe, tomato...
