I really enjoy brewing my loose leaf tea, but between heating the water, steeping the leaves, etc., etc., it sometimes takes quite a long time. Early in the morning, when I typically do not have much time to spend, I sometimes skip drinking tea all together because I don’t have time to brew my tea. So I found a nice solution to my problem at Adagio.com
Product: Trinitea
Maker: Adagio
Price: $99
Rating: 4.5/5
The Adagio Trintea has basically allowed me to easily brew loose leaf tea when I don’t have much time. The Trinitea basically does for tea, what a coffee maker does for coffee. This device has three chambers. The first heats the water, the second steeps the tea leaves, and then the completely brewed tea is poured into a glass tea pot (third chamber) that is kept hot by a heating plate.
What I like:
Probably my favorite thing about the Adagio Trinitea is how it does all the water heating for you. I drink a lot of green tea and it is very hard to heat the water to that exact 180 degrees. Before I bought the trinitea I had to use a thermometer, and this thermometer did not measure the exact temperature, so the same tea would often taste different because it was improperly brewed. The Adagio trinitea basically makes this easy and heats the water to the perfect temperature (either 180 degrees for green and white or boiling for oolong and black), for a consistently good cup of tea every time.
Another nice feature of the trinitea is that after it brews the tea it keeps your tea warm all day. A hot plate keeps the tea hot as long as it is turned on.
I also like that the price is not too high for the trinitea.
My Dislikes:
I sometimes feel like the trinitea is not built all too well. It is built with a lot of plastic and parts of the machine sometimes sag down (hard to explain, I have to push up on parts to push in the steeping chamber), because of all the plastic.
Sometimes I kinda wish I could make more than two cups…
Conclusion:
Despite its few flaws, I really enjoy the Adagio Trinitea. Although it is fun to actually brew tea with all the teapots, brewing vessels, etc.; the trinitea simplifies this process for when you don’t have too much time to make your tea. And considering how much tea pots, brewing vessels, etc. can cost, I think that $99 is a very fair price for this device. I definately reccomend the Adagio Trinitea.

I am thinking of buying the trini-tea. Seems pretty convenient, maybe for use at work…
I also like how it heats green tea to the perfect temp.
The only problem I have had with the trinitea is that it beeps very loud.
I have heard that these tend to leak after a while and start to cause issues. anyone had that experience?
I use a GROSHCE teapot now with a infuser basket, to heat the water on the stovetop, then let it cool for 5 minutes before I add my green tea. that way I dont burn the leave with boiling water.
I dont know if I get it to the exact 180F that they say is perfect for Oolong, but it seems to work great for me. no bitterness and all flavor!
I picked up up my Grosche infuser teapot at William Ashley China in Toronto on vacation. they have a few other items also from GROSCHE. At $30 it wasent cheap, but the quality is great and its well worth it - a lot cheaper than $100 for a big machine that is a headache to clean later.
has anyone tried the Fine-T machine, and the Zarafina? HOw does the TriniTea compare to the Zarafina?
Advance the websites is not easy. Contest is sheerest high. Nevertheless, the inception of virtue and interesting entanglement purlieus does not avowal its success.

That’s cool. I feel you with the whole time issue in the morning sometimes I have to skip tea all together too. Can you adjust the brew times according to different tea leafs.
