Review: Great pot; terrible documentation! - I just got this and I loved it right out of the box. It is nicely made and it works great. I do have one big negative and that's the documentation. Simply put, it's terrible. They left out two of the biggest and most important bits of information. They didn't mention the red light on the start button and what it means when it is flashing. And they didn't mention that if the light on the steep timer is flashing, then it is not yet steeping and you have to press it again. You learn these things by accident, only when you haven't done something correctly and you have to figure it out on your own. That part annoyed me a lot, but once I figured it all out, I fell in love. It makes perfectly brewed hot tea and it can keep it warm all day as long as you know which button to press and when. So read on for some helpful tips. Before you press Start, when the unit is on, the white lights are all solid. When the Start button is properly activated, that light changes to red and it blinks intermittently. When the unit finishes heating the water, the lights are all solid white again. You have to press the steep time start button and then the small LED in front of each steeping minute will blink as it counts down to show the progress. When it finishes steeping it automatically goes into a keep warm setting for 30 minutes. You only know this because the Start button light starts intermittently blinking red again, but this time it's to let you know it's in keep warm mode, the other button lights all turn off. If you lift the pot at any point after Keep Warm turns on, the warming function automatically turns off. You can see that the lights all goes dark when you lift the pot and then back to white again when you place the pot back down. In order to reactivate another 30 minutes of keep warm, you have to press and hold the Temp/Keep Warm button for two seconds until that light goes off and the Start light on the right starts to blink red again. You can keep a pot warm all day as long as you reactivate the warming function as I just described. It's ridiculous that the manual didn't explain this and it was beyond annoying that the quick start card never mentioned it either. But in the end, I still love my new tea brewer and it works like a charm! Review: Heats up quickly - Amazing. Oils water in about 20 seconds. This is a great buy. ## Features - TREAT TEA RIGHT: Unlock the flavor potential of a humble cup of tea with Breville's tea kettle, the Tea Maker Compact; Control temperature, set steep time and rediscover your favorite blend; Classic design with combined stainless steel and glass kettle - 5 PRESETS TO SUIT YOUR TEA: 5 different temperature settings bring out the flavors in Green, White, Oolong, Herbal, and Black teas; No more one-size-fits all approach to making a delicious cup of tea with this temperature control kettle - VARIABLE STEEP TIME: Find the intensity to suit your taste with the tea infuser; Set steep time from 1 to 5 minutes for mild, medium or strong tea; Kettle's timer beeps when steeping time lapses, so you know when to remove tea basket - COMPACT CAPACITY: Looking for a small electric kettle that fits easily into smaller kitchens and rvs?

This is a great buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tea *by D***7 on November 6, 2022* I love this tea pot so much! I didn’t love it at first though because the function isn’t intuitive and the directions don’t begin to explain how to use it properly. I had to use it and find out by trial and error how to get the perfect pot of tea. I bought this because I am making the switch from coffee to tea and it has made the transition easy after the first week or so. Some other reviews mention rust, and I did get those spots but they aren’t rust, they’re just tea stain. I bought a long handled brush and some vinegar to keep my pot pristine. If I ever need another, I might check out the cuisenart brand just to see if it’s more intuitive, but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this one again since I already know how to use it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Breville BTM500CLR Tea Maker Compact Infuser and Water Kettle, 34 oz, Brushed Stainless Steel and Glass - Breville BTM100 Revive Organic Tea Maker Cleaner, Kettle Cleaning Powder, 4 Pack - Teabloom Perfect Measure Loose Leaf Tea Spoon - Premium Quality Stainless Steel Tea Scoop – Tea Connoisseur's Choice --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/77942470-btm500clr-tea-maker-compact-infuser-and-water-kettle-4-cup](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/77942470-btm500clr-tea-maker-compact-infuser-and-water-kettle-4-cup) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
