Not all teas are brewed the same way. Different types of tea (green, black, white, etc.) require different water temperatures and extraction times in order to brew just right. The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker takes all the guess work out of tea brewing. It is fully programmable for all types of tea, water temperatures, and steep times; it has a moving tea basket; and it has a timer so you can wake up to your tea already brewed for you. Moreover, the German-made Schott glass is not only durable, it's also stain resistant.
