Customer Review: It makes and keeps the tea HOT/BUT I had some troubles. Give it 3 stars instead.
Addendum to 5 star review:
I bought it in July and by August the coating was peeling from the bottom of the kettle. I contacted customer service via the email through their website. Customer service was excellent and I received a replacement quickly.
Apparently, this is the first they've heard of such a problem.
If there is a defect, be prepared to pay for shipping and handling for returns. It adds eleven or more dollars to the price. I don't feel the customer should pay anything additional for a manufacture defect.
I hope my new kettle has no problems.
Earlier review:
Tea strength is adjusted by how much tea is used. It percolates (boiling temperature) water through the filter tray (two different mesh baskets included-one is a finer mesh). The temperature of the water makes a big difference in taste. It does a good job with both bagged and loose teas as well as herbals. I used some of my higher quality (i.e. more expensive teas) and the results were good. Just know your tea and how much to put in. Remember to put it on "warm" mode once it's made the tea. It does a thirty second reheat without steeping the tea again. I wouldn't let tea sit for more than an hour or more. I did it and the tea was a bit stronger. Just like coffee sitting in a pot too long, tea is best when fresh.
Safety wise, it's a winner for me. I have kids, so no boiling kettle to worry about. If you don't have kids, no worry about a kettle boiling dry. This tea maker has a safety shut off.
I LOVE that it is cordless.
Getting the basket into the carafe can be tricky at first, but I've gotten the hang of it. You have to line up the baskets with the carafe near the handle and then the stem connects to the bottom.
Customer Review: works good
I was not sure when I started using it if that it was working well, but it was a matter of time, waiting for the water to go through the top takes a while (3 minutes...?)
Other than that, it works great as it supposes to do.
And price is reasonable.

Customer Review: I Love You Mr. Coffee
I have a new love in my life. It's "Mr. Coffee NLX5 4- Cup Coffeemaker". When I wake up in the morning,the aroma hits me immediately.He's already there,waiting with 4 cups(actually 2 mugs) of fresh brewed coffee for me. I can program him to any time I want that first pick-me-up, of the morning. And if I happen to wake up a little early and catch Mr. Coffee in the middle of brewing, and I have to have it right away, I am able to pour myself a cup and he'll stop brewing midstream, so none drips onto the warming plate. Ahhhhh! He then returns to the brewing process, so I can have seconds. No waiting!
Mr. Coffee has some other great features that attracted me immediately to him. The filter basket(use basket type for 4-cup) lifts out for neater emptying of used grounds. If I ignore him he'll shut himself off automatically.(it says an hour for auto shut-off here, but my guy goes for 2 hours before turning off). No worry about leaving the coffee to burn away and ruin my decanter.The timer used for presetting my pot of coffee, also makes a nice little kitchen clock. The power cord has a little storage compartment so it stays up and off the counter. I also notice one other nice little feature. If the decanter is not sitting exactly right, the coffee will not drip, again not allowing the warmer plate to get wet or ruined! I also always know whether Mr. Coffee is turned on(or off) as there is an indicator light too.
Mr. Coffee works great every time.My relationship with Mr. Coffee NLX5 has lasted nearly 3 years now. He never complains. He's easy. Easy to use, easy to love and has never let me down. Mr. Coffee is also attractive and comes with a great instruction booklet on the care and feeding. He's juuust right! Perfect for a single!
I love you Mr. Coffee!...Laurie
