Like coffee makers, tea makers are (usually) machines that make brewing tea as simple as adding leaves and water to a machine and pushing a button. If you are very limited on time, tea-making savvy or dexterity, then buying a tea maker rather than making tea by hand may be a great option for you. Use the reviews below to find the best tea maker for your tea preferences, kitchen and budget.
Breville's One Touch Tea Maker
Marko Goodwin
The way I figure, if you're going to buy a tea maker instead of making tea by hand, you might as well pay up for a serious one. And Breville's One Touch Tea Maker is exactly that. From it sleek design to variable temperature settings, variable temperature times and a variety of other custom settings (such as a hold temperature function and an alarm-based start function), it has it all.
Zarafina Teamaker Suite Review
This ever-popular teamaker is more of an entry level option. It's easy to use and it has customizable settings, which is more than some tea makers can claim.

Marko Goodwin
Another less expensive option is Adagio Tea's TriniTEA Tea Maker. It's made of cheaper materials, but (like Breville's and Zarafina's tea makers) it's easy to use and it's customizable.
