Have had our Sunbeam Tea Drop for about 3 weeks now and love it. The people who say it does not brew a strong enough cup of tea are full of beans!! Before I got it, I was steeping my tea in boiling water for 15 minutes. There is NO difference what so ever between the taste of the tea. (I was using green tea) It is WONDERFUL not to have to go thru all of the extra steps and to have a perfectly brewed cup of tea in minutes. I'd buy another one when this one dies.

I bought and destroyed (boiled dry) two $90 William Sonoma kettles before I found this. My husband destroyed the first and I couldn't believe how careless and absentminded he was and told him so. Then karma got me and another beautiful kettle was garbage. Clearly, I can't be trusted to boil water either.

This makes decent tea and is very convenient. You can choose how strong you want it. Most important, for my family, you can leave it unattended for a long time without dire consequences even if it goes dry. I do wish they'd add an auto shut off feature, but even leaving it on for a long period of time has had no dire consequences (yet.)

I'm replacing my current one after several years of daily use because it seems to be perma set on "light" tea recently, but for the $30 it cost when I bought it, it was well worth buying.

3.0 out of 5 stars tea brewer vs coffee brewer, January 4, 2007

works easily enough, much like a mrs tea (mrs tea makes 30oz, this one only 28oz) although there isn't much difference between it and a coffee brewer. i would prefer a larger quantity of tea as well as actual steeping time of 4 to 5 minutes (like a chef's choice teamate allows). this just runs through the filter at different rates.
