What owners say about the Tea Maker
Verified buyers only, straight from the store's review app.
The basket lowers itself, and lifts out before the tea turns
Press a button and the tea basket descends into water heated for that varietal, steeps for the right time, then rises out so nothing over-brews. Five presets cover green, white, oolong, black and herbal, each at its own temperature.
A 1.5 L variable-temperature kettle when you only want hot water
Take the basket out and the Tea Maker is a German-made glass kettle with the same temperature presets, a stainless scale filter and a cordless base. Everything is on the base panel.
- 1.5 L for hot water, 1.2 L when brewing tea
- Five tea presets plus a hot-water-only mode
- Strength: mild, medium or strong
- Basket cycle, which keeps lifting and lowering the basket for brews under 10 minutes
- Auto start timer
- Keep warm, up to 60 minutes
- Removable stainless scale filter, rinse under the tap

Complete the setup
A short list, chosen for the Tea Maker: the coffee brewer it sits beside, a press for the hot-water mode, and the descaler that keeps it going in UAE water.
The coffee half of the counter: one-touch SCA Golden Cup brewing in the same brushed steel.
600 ml dual-mesh press for the coffee drinkers in the house; the Tea Maker's hot-water mode is the right pour.
Regular descaling keeps the glass clear and the element honest in UAE water.
