I still have a Chef's Choice "TeaMate" stored in the basement. Interesting machine - it makes a samovar-style brew where it steeps a concentrate for 5 minutes and then dumps that into the pot and dilutes it with the remaining water in the tank. Given that it takes about 5 minutes to make tea with an electric kettle it's not really worth the trouble, though.
