As someone who drinks tea and not coffee, I'm always looking for something to brew tea well. I live with a coffee liver and we haven't wanted 2 different appliances on our counter. Regular coffee makers don't brew tea well and if they're also used for coffee, the tea always has a coffee taste. 

This brewer is great because there are tea settings that make a great pot of tea. The thermal carafe keeps it hot for a long time. Also, the different coffee & tea inserts keep my tea from tasting like coffee. 

We purchased an extra coffee insert to make crio bru, as well as a second tea insert to brew herbal and mint tea. The extra inserts help keep the flavors from mingling.

We love this machine so much I bought a second one for work.
