The water filter is not a must, but I personally taste a difference between the tea water from the tap without filter or with. But that certainly depends on the hardness of the water.
Now for tea. I could not imagine how it would work with capsules and infusion me.
So tea is really within 2-3 minutes ready incl. Preparations such as water fill and rinse. Once you press the button, it is also going on already.
In some varieties of starter package teapot capsules contained to try.
For me, the mint of the best I have ever tasted from the Minzintensität ago. Earl Grey and Darjeeling also taste very good. The infusions are very fragrant. With the green tea I do not know about me, so I do not know if they taste the way it should be. From chai latte I have no idea, was not definitely my taste.
The capsules can be in no way compare with teabags and I already know that my tea bags will no longer taste! The capsules are equivalent in my opinion really the quality of loose tea, only that it is so much faster.
I love the machine. Anyone can drink his favorite tea, without much time and effort!
I can say that the machine is probably not for the avid tea drinkers who need their ceremony when making tea. Because that is missing here completely and is also the meaning of Tealounge. It comes quickly perfectly prepare a high-quality tea, for people who do not want to deal with long hours drawing up. It's a certain luxury device, especially a capsule around the 35 ct costs.
For me, the Tealounge for tea, as the Nespresso coffee, the ideal capsule machine.
