Ideal in the office - why I prefer the Special T teapot Tealounge.

As the Vorrezensent writes quite right, a tea capsule system is a practical alternative to the office coffee.
Here I use my "Special T" and am very satisfied.
Such such a system in my opinion is less suitable for families or multi-tea drinkers - since the good old tea pot is not only cheaper.
But for quickly prepared cup in the office it's different - I do not need more in the kitchen, do not have to handle with tea bags or loose tea and the far too long drawing (if one is deflected in between) there is no longer even.

When I decided to purchase a tea capsule machine, I have the two available systems compared (by teapot and Nestle) and ruled in favor of the "Special T".

Compared it is in my view a draw at the following points:
- Both machines look good - the narrow shape of the teapot had me originally even liked it better.
- The price was currently identical: both starter kits were for 79, - available.
- Noise is both quite low and available in the office without disturbing their colleagues.
- Both devices produce easily in a short time (1.5 to 2 minutes) a cup of hot tea - taste su
- The features of the starter sets is comparable: Tealounge sets 20 sample capsules at - Special-T only 16, but also a truly beautiful porcelain cup and saucer (have the same 2 more ordered - see below).
- The price of each capsule is slightly higher at Nestle; There are at Special-T free water filters in capsule orders from 15 parcels.
- There are two systems in a similarly wide range of tea varieties (currently about 25) and mW no Alterntaiv capsules from other manufacturers.

Led to my decision in favor of the "Special T":
- As a disadvantage of Tealounge I found the manual selection of Brühprogramms - the Special-T realizes what is in the capsule and automatically selects the correct mode.
- The Special-T is ready for operation immediately after switching on - the Tealounge takes 20 sec.
- In addition, a seal must be considered before use of each capsule - that there is not at Special T.
- KO criterion but had the obligatory pre-rinse the Tealounge after switching. In itself not bad, because the cup is preheated, but where in the office with the hot rinse water?
- The only "disadvantage" of "Special T" is the exclusive ordering of machine and capsules in Nestle itself - but it worked perfectly so far and fast and even procurement costs currently exempt. In Starter Kit vouchers are included for reduced first reordering capsules and cups.
- A small technical advantage of the Special-T should be mentioned - in addition to the standard amount of water an individual amount can also be adjusted to match the volume produced in certain cup sizes. You can at any preparation either the one or the other amount retrieve. The tea lounge can also be hiring, but in a lower bandwidth and then apply immediately this amount - a selection is not possible. For me personally, but that is hardly important because I use the original cups for which the quantity of tea is perfect and any increase in the volume even thinner taste the tea leaves (see below).

The taste I am satisfied, although some varieties taste a bit thin - but this is probably so fast and the way of preparation due to both systems.
So if you like to drink strong tea, which is a capsule system generally poorly served - but I'm glad to be able to quickly and easily enjoy a fresh cup of tea in the office.

Positive experience after 8 weeks: a star to.
I am totally satisfied and drink in the office almost out of coffee.
Now that I've tried all the available varieties, there are only two that do not taste it so much: Rose amour and blueberry muffin.
The machine looks great in the office, makes no noise, and can be kept clean easily. Capsule collecting basket and drip tray and the beautiful cups come every night in the dishwasher and look like new.
