Breville Smart Tea Infuser Tea Maker

Yes, you can remove the tea basket and use the appliance as a standard variable-temperature kettle. It is perfect for heating water for French press coffee, hot cocoa, or instant oatmeal.

Yes, the basket is motorized and will automatically lower into the water once the selected temperature is reached. It then lifts the tea out of the water once the steeping time is complete to prevent over-steeping.

The carafe is made from high-quality, heat-resistant glass designed to withstand daily use. While it is durable, it should be handled with the same care as any other glass kitchenware to avoid accidental chips or cracks.

The tea basket is removable and dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. The glass carafe should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water to maintain its clarity and prevent damage to the heating element in the base.

Absolutely. The machine allows you to customize both the water temperature and the steep time, so you can dial in the perfect brew for delicate green teas, robust black teas, or herbal infusions.

The keep warm function maintains your selected temperature for up to 60 minutes. This is ideal if you want to enjoy a second cup without needing to reheat the water or re-steep your tea.
