This is great. I would love to start my day off with tea, but I need it to work while I'm in the shower. Fantastic. I want to try it with my favorite rooibos tea.

Unfortunately my absolute favorite tea is the ridiculously overpriced Aveda Comforting Tea*. Then there's Yogi Tea's Mexican Sweet Chili and two from a friend's tea shop in NM called Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos and Sencha Kyoto Cherry Rose.
*I'm in search of a cheaper replacement, any suggestions?

This machine looks pretty cool. I like the way it brews the tea for a specified time and then releases it. I tend to leave the tea leaves in my mesh infuser for far too long.
BTW, when I completed the form I was brought to "See My Artwork! Contest Smackdown: Friday, 11:23am" which at least is a change from being directed to "The Perfect Scoop." =D
