Other machines pour over the tea with boiling water only, without Brühzeitregelung without separate warm function, or are based on the principle of a samovar, which holds Sud and hot water ready, but by no means likely to meet the tastes of European tea lovers. In both cases, the flavors can not fully unfold, while the "hand variant" without each machine has the great disadvantage that the brewing time is regularly exceeded by inattention while you're busy with other handles in the kitchen. A "tea Penguin", the tea bag from the cup draws, is indeed funny, but not nearly as practical and functional as this sensible machine here, which brews both tea bags and loose tea in amounts of up to 1 liter.
In itself, the concept is simple, you'd think, but unfortunately there are devices of this kind as well as not to buy. This is absolutely puzzling, there are thousands of coffee machines in all variants, but virtually nothing for the true tea Gourmet! Defend yourselves, people! :)
For this reason, the machine is a real buy recommendation.
Be minor drawbacks for completeness pointed: The white color Personally I like not (at Tchibo she was black).
In addition: The handles of the two pitchers are more unstable in the upper Brühkanne is also a plastic construct would have liked much better in a glass version.
But positively highlight the permanent filter made of stainless steel, which in turn acts stable. All in all a not very nice, but highly functional piece.
Many tea drinkers comparable devices desire on the market, because competition is good for the lucrative business. At Tchibo, the thing was certainly Ratz Fatz sold; sold in America, the "IQ Innovations 51552 T4 Cup Gourmet" tea machine for a mere $ 300th More like this please!
