Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Smart Tea Maker 18 Ounce. Our Best Selling Tea Accessory. Amazing. Great Gift!
Customer Review: Good tea maker
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice device for steeping and brewing tea. Even though it comes with a coaster it doesn't leak while brewing or when you are finished dispensing tea. It's made of a sturdy plastic that won't easily chip or break. It's well insulated keeping in the brewing heat so you can hold it even when it contains boiling water. It's transparent so you can watch your tea brew and if you have a good eye you can tell when it's done.
But the biggest advantage is it's easy and unique tea dispensing feature. Just put the device on top of your mug and a pressure value opens filling your cup. When your cup is full lift the device and the valve closes.
I have only two nits with the product. If you're not careful you can overfill your mug. I did that a couple of times until I got use to judging the volume. My other nit us that it won't fit my larger cups with openings larger than 3 ½" in diameter.
Overall, I am very happy with the Smart Tea Maker.
Customer Review: Ingenious invention
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a lot of different kinds of tea makers. But unless I need more than two cups of tea, this is the only one I still use.
The genius of this teapot is that all of the tea leaves are in contact with all of the water during the entire steeping process. The straining screen at the bottom is so fine that one can use very finely ground tea without ending up with a bitter cup. And none of the tea gets caught in the screen--making the system very easy to clean.
It makes two normal cups of tea (without dripping between cups) or one large mug.
Customer Review: Super Convenient and can Save you $$
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this product in and I like it enough to write a review.
We use loose leaf and the biggest advantage is being able to steep your tea multiple times. A lot of loose leaf tea can be steeped 2-4 times and usually (for me at least) the 2nd steeping is the best. So roughly 1 tea spoon of tea can make 3 cups.
I would strongly suggest only drinking loose leaf tea - its so much healthier and tastes way better then tea bags. Even the expensive tea bags like Old Republic taste like dirty ashes in comparison to nice loose leaf tea (not to mention 1 3oz of loose leaf costs about $7-$15 for 40 cups - double or triple steep and that translates to 3 cups of tea a day for a month costing only $15 max).
Now my only concern is I just read a website talking about how tea is good for you and it said that steeping in Metal or Plastic *may* affect the flavor. I have never seen an all glass tea maker for loose leaf so this seems good to me.
Don't fill it to the top and it wont overflow. Leave bout 1 CM from the top and you should be safe. Maybe use a marker to mark the outside of it for the perfect level. We use a water cooler/heater so this is really the perfect combo. Just add hot water to the tea, let it steep, set it on your cup and your good to go.

Customer Review: Toss That Infuser
Summary: 5 Stars
I love tea, but hate the whole cleanup of teapot and strainer, so I have been using a stick infuser for years. This product is a revelation. My regular, cheapo green jasmin tastes 100% better using this. Being able to watch the tea transfuse and take on its wonderful color is a wonderful experience. I used a bit more than a teaspoon and brewed two large cups, both were delicious and aromatic (I steeped the second wash a bit longer). This all makes sense - the tea leaves are free to float around and all surfaces get to do their thing, unlike the infuser which is like a tea subway at rush hour.
