Breville Tea Maker – BTM800XL

Ironically I was drinking tea when I saw this video from Kevin Rose showing off a programmable electric water kettle on steroids, the BTM800XL is for the true tea enthusiast. A 1500 watt quick boil element brings your water up to your chosen temperature.  The coolest part, however, is the automatic basket that lowers your tea for a specified amount of time making your perfect cup time after time after time.  At $299.99 you have to be a serious tea lover to justify spending that much on it.

Other features include:

• 60 minute keep warm function
• Time since brew function to monitor freshness
• Stainless steel tea basket with glass jug
• 51 oz max when used to heat water
• 41 oz tea max when used to make tea
