Buy recommendation - despite some weaknesses

I bought the tea maker (in black) about 2 years ago, after my previous tea maker is broken, and can look back on some experience with the device, thanks to daily use. Since this tea machine was the only one (cook up water, pour in the middle of the tea leaves with boiling water and leave for a certain period, and let then run down into the pot) after the Brühprinzip, the machine is of course automatically mean buy recommendation - lack of real alternatives.

Pro:
+ Tea maker after Brühprinzip: The tea is really infused with boiling water!
+ High mesh metal filter is very durable and relatively easy to clean (unlike previous Kunststoffiltern)

Cons:
- The noise is the very loud crack getting used to
- The pot dripping quite strong when serving
- The water level indicator is (would be a bit clearer plastic here much better) when filling difficult to read
- The brewing time setting (2-10 minutes) to work gradually and is quite inaccurate
- Required in the fully switched off, the engine power (although I have measured just under 2 watts - but that does not have to be in a critique below were reported as the standby current considerably more -. But that's probably with active hotplate measured - and that the current is needed yeah)
- Teeablagerungen at the end of Brühbehälters are difficult to clean (but is rarely necessary)
- No timer (The old "Teatime" tea making facilities were there with Timer - so that in the morning at the tea was finished 7h
- No temperature adjustment - thus for green tea usually unsuitable
- The automatic shutdown of the hotplate after 1h is not switched off - so who wants to keep warm his tea for a longer period, has a separate similar Stöfchen use
- Cooking container covered up (the disabled not only the rapid filling, but it does not look the Verkaulkungsgrad This was achieved better with the old machine from Princess.)

Conclusion:
* Since there is probably no other tea maker after Brühprinzip, the CASO TeeGourmet my strong buy recommendation
* None of the above problems is serious enough to discourage the purchase
* Due to the amount of weaknesses but I forgive only 3 stars - in the hope that the manufacturer (or a whole competition) brings an improved successor to the market - the then earned more stars.
