A few quick notes, yesterday I went to Williams and Sonoma in Columbus Circle shopping center after finding out from Breville Jason they had some of the one-touch tea makers in stock. These are not yet available on the Breville or Williams and Sonoma websites.
I went immediately after the Steepster meetup at Radiance Tea House & Books.
We’ll ignore how I got lost three times on the way there, even using google maps on my blackberry.
I purchased my new teakettle and took it to my mother in laws, then left again to continue my NYC adventures; we ended up going back and buying a second one for my mom later that day.
This morning I got to use the kettle for the first time at my mother in laws house, it’s well lit which leads to bad pictures, sorry. I rinsed the kettle and made three cups of tea. First confusing point is the side of the kettle measures in milliliters not ounces. I had to use the conversion chart. My next issue is that the power cord is too short; really I’m going to need an extension cord.
I was easily able to make the tea without needing to read the directions, the buttons and display are intuitive and there is a nice loud beep when your tea is ready. I have not yet played with the timer feature or custom overrides but will let you know how well they work later. I will also do a comparative review between Zarafina and the Breville once I have gotten used to the Breville.
So far I highly recommend this as an easy to use tea maker.
Below are pictures of the unpacking.

I just got mine and it is awesome. I don't think the cord is short but it does deceivingly coil under the base for storage though :)
I finally figured that out, I was tugging to no avail when MilitiaJim pointed out I just needed to unwind it!
I so look forward to reading your side by side comparison with the Zarafina. I am excited to learn more about both of these devices... I'm going to get one of them at the end of the month! Yay!
