Best Tea Ever!

The Zarafina Tea Maker is amazing. As an English couple who have drunk tea their entire life we were really sceptical about a tea maker. However, after just a few days we are converted- no more kettles and teapots for us! The Zarafina gets it right everytime- no more stewed or weak tea. The unit is very elegant and takes up liitle space- it is easy to clean and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Bravo to the ingenious inventors.

Zarafina Tea Maker

Was skeptical but now I'm a believer. Makes a fine cup of tea.
Had to make a very few adjustments to suit my taste, but was easy to do.
For instance, for Japanese sencha tea, I prefer to use the 'mild' setting for 'white' tea, instead of the 'green' tea setting.

Great little tea maker, with reservations

I do really like this tea maker - it makes perfect tea, every time, as others have mentioned. I would not go so nuts as to say that it's a manna from Heaven like others are also suggesting; for one, it's too pricey for what it actually does, and for two, you have to be REALLY careful with how you use it. While I haven't had a problem yet (I've had it for a few weeks with daily use), my fiance got a drop of water on the underside of the removeable container after rinsing it out and the appliance tripped the GFI on the outlet several times, preventing the appliance from shorting out. Now, I can understand not immersing the base in water, but a miniscule drop of water causing this much potential damage on a part that is supposed to be rinsed out? Not the greatest design there...just take care to make sure water doesn't remain on the prongs at the bottom of the removeable container.

I would recommend the product overall and am happy with it, although I'm a bit worried that it may have a major meltdown at any moment from something I may do accidentally. Really great tea, though!

*UPDATE* I have now had this tea maker for a couple of months, and have not had a single problem since the GFI-trip issue (I use the appliance 2 to 3 times a day). Carefully checking the removeable container for water on the prongs has prevented any further problems, and I believe there's a good chance that those experiencing the water-heating failure may have unknowingly had a bit of water on the electrical elements when plugging it in and caused a short - my machine probably would have had the same damage if I hadn't plugged it into a GFI-protected outlet (which was honestly just plain luck). I'm *very* happy with the quality of the tea and the convenience of using this machine.
