Lumi’s Kitchen Picks · The Tea Shop at Home · Hero pick
Breville BTM800XL One-Touch Tea Maker
A glass tea kettle with a basket that lowers the leaves in and lifts them out on time, so the pot never stews.
Why it fits Lumi’s kitchen
- The tea basket lowers into the water and lifts out when the steep is done, per Breville.
- Settings for different tea types, with adjustable temperature and strength.
- It also works as a plain kettle when you just want hot water.
“Most bitter tea is just tea that steeped too long while someone answered the door. A basket that lifts itself out is a small kindness to a busy kitchen.” — a note from Lumi’s world, not a product test.
