Yes, tea doesn't require tech, but espresso-machines are not only tech, but a convenience to press a button and get a cup. I drink coffee because of that, not because I enjoy it more than tea.
Unfortunately, tea market seems to be too small to pay for such a convenience. There are some capsule-machines like Nespresso that can brew tea, but they make too small portions.
- arkades 9y agoMore popular in households in Asia than western europe/US is a machine that holds your water at tea temp (it looks almost like a water tank.) You can look up Zojirushi on amazon to get some examples. So you hit a button, water drops into your cup at the correct temperature, and all you have to do is drop in your tea bag / infuser of choice. Considering tea needs to steep, it's about as close as tea is going to come to espresso.
- monort 9y agoYes, I know, they call it for some reason "cooler" :) The first problem is you should stay near them while they are pouring the water, and it takes time, especially if I'm making a tea for two. The second is that making hot water is not the most time-expensive for me, it's mixing teas and additives and putting them into a tea bag. Unfortunately, pre-bagged teas are usually low quality.
