The advantages I see in ...
++ Very easy installation, maintenance, cleaning, operation after the famous Nespresso logic
++ Very rapid deployment and very short brewing time
++ The secret of good tea is naturally in tea itself but to no small extent in the tea; not for nothing that followed the Far Eastern cultures around tea ceremonies; what counts is the optimal combination of water quality, temperature and brewing time, which is matched to the particular tea; some black teas unfold optimally at 92 ° C, while green teas bring their full flavor expressed already at 80 ° C; Special.T the machine helps the laity to enjoy better teas because the machine just recognizes the individual capsules by the puncture system and finely controls all parameters
++ Special.T the machine operates differently from the numerous alternatives for Nespresso without pressure build-up, which is why the actual brewing process takes place almost silently; you only heard a slight chuckle at the outlet of the tea from the machine
++ The machine heats only the necessary amount of water for the tea through a very fast operating high-speed heating system and then switches automatically to the power-saving sleep mode; who as I still familiar to Teewasserkochen on a stove, will save with this machine Special.T current and therefore protect the environment; Cooking in water that is naturally different
The drawbacks I see in ...
- The built-in and interchangeable water filters, which I consider to be the German tap water as nonsensical; I did not become completely clear also from the manual, what is there actually filtered out, I suspect it's a simple descaling agent; the regular replacement of the filter will cause in any case follow-up costs
- The fact that this is a closed system that is designed exclusively for making tea; It does not replace any other device; in my small kitchen is now another device, which is actually just 2 minutes per day used for a cup of tea; the to ponder
- The single portions, as each cup of tea must be individually omitted with one capsule; Tea I consume mostly in the form of two cups or a small jug
Conclusion: an interesting alternative for the preparation of first-class teas; average 0.37 EUR for a cup of tea / price per capsule is for me a reasonable price for a high-quality food
