I have the breville perfect tea maker which was my first ever expensive appliance purchase 10 years ago. it’s the first thing I ever did to spoil myself. Even with the perfect tea maker Paul seems to make tea better than I do. I don’t know what it is, he says it’s because he shakes the tea basket. He also measures the water very precisely. I think it’s love? Lol Mine never has the fragrant smell after the pour or the flavor profile. Honestly I don’t care to figure it out.
