Processing, functions & Optics
Except for the side walls, I find the machine very high quality. The plastic walls are the right and left, however, very scratch-prone. The lever for the capsules is for very high-quality and difficult.
One thing I immediately missed on the machine, especially if you have several cup sizes in use, a practical height-adjustable screen. When TEEKANNE TEALOUNGE system is quasi stacked. If the cup size you need no attachment.
Besides the obvious of features, there is also the possibility the conditional quantity determined for all Brühgänge milliliters exactly define. The maximum what a cup of tea will have 210ml 300ml factory setting. So more water is also lighter tea consumption. This gives you the opportunity if you can, for example, like shorter or longer pull his tea to influence this with the TEEKANNE TEALOUNGE system over the amount of water. In principle, just like a tea bag: you altered in a teabag, the amount of water changes so does the intensity of the tea. However, I recommend to keep the amount of water to the factory setting! Then all the teas taste well as they should.
Teetemperatur:
With the temperature of the tea I am very satisfied. Really hot tea. Especially Black tea is with 92Grad super hot and fresh out of the machine not drinkable but it must be.
Teas:
What really impressed me was the amount of teas already serving TEEKANNE TEALOUNGE system to start. In other systems, you have three or four times as tea capsules, which is really ridiculous.
The tea in the capsules is broken quite fine, and often a cube. It's slightly different than in a tea bag, there are not very much but it Dust are also no full leaves contain.
Teekapseln:
Unfortunately, this is not very environmentally friendly with the capsules in my eyes. Teapot indicates that for the packaging of cardboard Teekapseln only from certified sustainable forestry uses (FSC) is. Similarly, the packaging of the capsule was reduced to a minimum. This sounds good at first but as a consumer I'm now not fallen on his head. The carton interests me even but the waste load in the capsules is not improved. I would be glad if you may find here in the future, a material the more environmentally friendly and still be able to protect the flavor is. For this, I draw from even a star of my review!
In this TEEKANNE TEALOUNGE system incidentally are also the Kfee coffee capsules which are indeed also gets at Aldi. To me, that would be to make a combination not an option out of the machine. because once it has been used for coffee, quasi contaminated.
My Recommendation:
For Can tea drinkers and very ambitious, traditional tea drinkers the teapot Tealounge's system certainly not suitable. However, for a perfect cup of tea between meals or in the evening already. It is quick and easy. Ideal this machine is then in an office, especially if there is also the customer's premises and the majority only drinks coffee while the tea bag in the closet to himself ausaromatisieren. The teas remain namely super fresh in the capsules have a good quality and therefore customer really can at all times offer a perfect cup in a jiffy a variety of teas. That depends very well and tastes very good. (For Amazon there are incidentally also super Einzelpäcken with candy - so is the enjoyment perfect!)
Likewise, the material is still something that needs to be changed in my eyes necessarily in the future. Plastic trash must simply be reduced and since then is my opinion, every producer the responsibility not only for the sustainability of the teas and the outer packaging of Teekapseln.
