4 out of 5 stars   Live in a higher elevation?
By Robert on February 27, 2013

Review submitted for Cuisinart TEA-100 - PerfecTemp Programmable Tea Steeper & Kettle (CUITEA100)
Pros: Comfortable Grip, Clear Boiling Indicator, Boils Quickly, Tight Lid
Cons: Difficult to Clean
Other Comments: Tea steeper works great so far and I enjoy the different temps for more delicate teas. The main issue that I see is for those of us that live at a higher elevation. The pot can't get the hot water to 212 degrees for the black tea setting and therefor won't shut off even though the water is boiling very vigorously. I called Cuisinart about this and unfortunately there is no calibration for high elevation. After 5 minutes of boiling the pot will shut itself off but almost 2 cups of water have boiled off by then. In my case the herbal tea setting (200 degrees) is very close to the max temp the water can get to because of our elevation (6,500') so that is what I generally use for black teas.

5 out of 5 stars   Perfect tea, perfect price!

Review submitted for Cuisinart TEA-100 - PerfecTemp Programmable Tea Steeper & Kettle (CUITEA100)
Pros: Clear Boiling Indicator, Tight Lid, Boils Quickly, Comfortable Grip
Cons:
Other Comments: We compared this to another top selling tea maker from another manufacturer. For the price, which was about half the price of the other we looked at, we did not go wrong with the TEA-100. I have seen people comment that loose leaf tea is difficult to remove from the basket, but we don't have any problem. Simply invert the basket and run under water. When we don't feel like cleaning, we simply put the loose leaf tea in cotton tea bags and it eliminates that step. It is so easy to use, that our 11 year old son does it with no problem. Very safe to use, water boils fast, and the tea comes out perfect every time. We absolutely love this product!

4 out of 5 stars   Nice, but difficult to use.
By BP on March 18, 2012

Review submitted for Cuisinart TEA-100 - PerfecTemp Programmable Tea Steeper & Kettle (CUITEA100)
Pros: Boils Quickly, Glass kettle, Comfortable Grip
Cons: Difficult to Clean, Difficult to load tea
Other Comments: Infuser unit is difficult to work with. The infuser is a one piece unit with the lid on a shaft. The infuser lid remains too close to the infuser to load tea or to clean out the infuser afterwards. If you can get use to the awkwardness of loading tea and cleaning out the infuser, it is a nice unit.

4 out of 5 stars   A Smart Tea Steeper
By Sk8ter Steph on March 08, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Cuisinart TEA-100 - PerfecTemp Programmable Tea Steeper & Kettle (CUITEA100)
Pros: Tea tastes great, Clear Boiling Indicator, Boils Quickly, Comfortable Grip
Cons: Difficult to Clean
Other Comments: Bought this for my dad and used it while visiting him, it is very clever, boils quick, steeps the different teas perfectly. It is a bit of a pain to clean and I found at times it was hard to tell if the lid was secure when pouring the tea, so you just have to make sure before you pour. It is not too large so looks nice out on your counter and is great for just boiling water as well. A lot of fun to use.
