Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Smart Tea Maker 18 Ounce. Our Best Selling Tea Accessory. Amazing. Great Gift!
Customer Review: Very happy
Summary: 5 Stars
Smart Tea Maker vs Adagio
Adagio: Filter often comes loose while brewing for no reason
STM: Filter is secure and never ever comes loose unless you want it to for cleaning
Adagio: Slimmer design helps save some space on small desks.
STM: wider design looks much more attractive and makes it much less prone to being knocked over.
(both make the same amount of tea)
Adagio: Less expensive
STM: More expensive.
Adagio: Lid does not easily come off.
STM: Lid can easily be removed for cleaning if you want.
Adagio: BPA free??? I don't know. At the time of this writing can't find info on that.
STM: Company clearly states it is made of BPA-free materials.
Adagio: Has markings on it (company logo)
STM: Has no markings on it which makes it look a bit more sophisticated.
Adagio: does not come with extra coaster.
STM: comes with extra coaster. (The coaster is not necessary for this product, but I find it handy and use it not only as a coaster for the device, but also as a cup cover to keep drinks warm)
Conclusion: I like the STM better. Mostly because of the filter and because it just looks nicer.
Customer Review: a tad disappointing, but very usable
Summary: 3 Stars
The pictured cup is not included, it is not a set. It works well, but loose tea is harder to clean out than in a Boodum pot. Also, even in closed position, the drip tray doesn't suffice unless you have patiently, completely drained the bowl of every last drop. Tea tastes good, top rack dishwasher safe.Customer Review: indeed the perfect cup of tea
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great cup it is larger and makes enought tea for two people at any given time. It does not leak but does come with a coaster. It is a little different from other tea makers in that you push the handle to the side inorder to strain the tea while others you put the tea maker on top of the cup and the pressure on the bottom of the tea maker strains the tea. However this feature allows you to see how full the cup is without over filling it.
Customer Review: wonderful design
Summary: 5 Stars
I drink tea regularly (a good four cups each day at work...) and this is the best steeping vessel i've ever used. the cavity is broad giving a large surface area, and it's great watching the tea rise and fall during the process. the strainer is very fine so I rarely have leaf fragments make it through, and it is simple to clean. finally, it's microwave safe and has no taste of plastic. nuke a cup to a boil, or add already-boiling water and enjoy your loose tea as though you've dropped it in an open teapot, with none of the extra work. rinsing is a breeze, after a couple of attempts i was able to get all of the leaves out in one go.
as a side note, i'm going to recommend against dishwashing this or any other tea cup/pot. you really can taste the soap, and plastic is renown for its tendency to hold detergents. just rinse it out with hot water and a clean washrag. see if you can taste the difference!
