2. Press the SELECT / TEMP button until the desired tea/temperature is illuminated. The desired brew strength determines the brew times. The correct brew time depends on the tea type and your personal preference of strength. The Tea Maker™ Compact allows you to choose from mild, medium and strong tea brews.
3. Press the STRENGTH button to select the desired strength / steeping time. Refer to the TEA TYPE table above for steeping times. Selecting the kettle setting will boil water to the desired temperature but will not operate the tea basket.

6. At the end of the tea brewing cycle, the tea basket will automatically rise to the top of the glass jug to prevent over-brewing. The tea alert will sound 3 times, to indicate your tea is ready.

**** WARNING

The tea basket is hot to touch after the tea is brewed. Ensure that the tea basket handle has cooled before handling.

KEEP WARM

BOILING WATER
To boil water, remove the tea basket and fill the glass jug with water. Replace the jug lid and place the glass jug on the power base. Select the desired temperature by pressing the SELECT / TEMP button then press the STRENGTH button to select KETTLE.

Tips

TEA TYPES
There are four main types of tea from the tea plant camellia sinensis. The picking and processing methods determine the type of tea finally produced.

Black Tea
Black tea is the most common type of tea worldwide. It is made by fermenting the harvested leaves for a couple of hours before heating or drying. This oxidation darkens the leaves and increases the amount of caffeine. Of all the teas, black tea has the strongest colour and flavour.

White Tea
White tea is the rarest and the most exclusive tea. White tea consists of the whitish buds of the tea plant which are steamed then left to dry naturally. This tea is low in caffeine and has a slightly sweet flavour.

Green Tea
Green tea makes up approximately ten percent of the world’s tea. The leaves are picked, rolled and dried before they can go brown. Green tea has a distinctive aroma and has a slight astringent taste.

Oolong Tea
Oolong Tea is semi fermented, which means leaves are processed immediately after picking. They only have a short periodof oxidation which turns the leaves from green to red/brown. Its leaves have a floral, fruity quality and hence have a delicate fruity taste. It is recommended not to drink Oolong tea with milk, sugar or lemon.

Herbal Infusions or Tisanes
Herbal infused teas are not produced from the tea plant, but from flowers, leaves, root sor seeds. Common herbal beverages are chamomile, peppermint, fennel, rose hip, and lemon verbena. Herbal infusions that do not contain tea will generally not become bitter with extended brews. These can often be brewed with boiling water 3 times without jeopardising the taste.

Blends
Tea producers make blends by combining different types of teas, often in order to achieve flavour consistency from one season to the next. Common black tea blends include English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast, and Russian Caravan.

TEA STORAGE

• Teas stored inside a vacuum sealed bag can be stored for up to two years, depending on the quality and grade of tea. Once opened, tea should be stored in an airtight container and kept in a dry and dark place.
• Once opened, black teas will last longer thangreen and oolong teas but all tea needs to be stored in ideal conditions.
•  You can tell when tea is past its best if it has lost its aroma and will create either a bitter or dull tasting cup

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL TEA BREWING

• Water quality affects taste. For best results,use filtered water.
• Finer tea particles and leaves will infuse more quickly than whole leaves. As a result, finer tea particles often release too much tannin too quickly, creating a harsher taste. Adjust the steeping time until desired strength is achieved.
• Use roughly one teaspoon of tea per cup/250ml of water.

Care & Cleaning

CLEANING THE GLASS JUG

• After each use, empty the glass jug. Do not allow brewed tea to stand overnight. Allow the glass jug tofully cool before cleaning.
•  Wipe the interior of the glass jug with a soft damp sponge or rinse with warm water.
• Wipe the exterior of the glass jug with a soft damp cloth to clean.
  

WARNING

Never immerse or wash exterior of glass jug under running water.

NOTE

Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the glass jug as these may scratch the surface.

• To remove the build-up of tannin; the astringent chemical constituent of tea, remove the tea basket, fill the glass jug with water up to the MAX mark, bring water to the boil and allow to cool for one minute. Add the contents of the Breville® Tea Maker Cleaner (available at Breville® web page) and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Empty tea maker, refill with fresh water and bring water to the boil. Repeat this step again then rinse the inside of the glass jug thoroughly. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth before using.

NOTE

Through regular use over time, scale build-up can affect the performance and the life of the Tea Maker™ Compact. Lime and phosphate are common forms of scale that can damage your Breville®Tea Maker™ Compact. Lime scale, a harmless mineral, comes in the appearance of white-coloured or rusty looking build up on the inner walls and inner base of the glass jug. Phosphate scale can’t be seen; however it can cause the water to appear cloudy when heated. To prevent scale from damaging your Tea Maker™ Compact, ensure to descale the glass jug regularly. Use the Breville® Descaler (available at Breville® web page) and follow the instructions.

NOTE

Allow all parts of the Tea Maker™ Compact to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning

WARNING
Never immerse the base of the glass jug, jug lid, power base, power cord or power plug in water or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.

CLEANING THE BASKET

• Wash the basket lid and tea basket in warm, soapy water with a soft sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains on the basket. Apply the cleaner to the sponge, not directly onto the basket surface, before cleaning.
• Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before using

CLEANING THE POWER BA

• Wipe the power base with a soft-damp sponge.
• Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into the wall outlet.

STORAGE

• Ensure that the tea basket is correctly assembled.
• Ensure that the jug lid is securely in place on the glass jug.
• Wrap the power cord around the power cord storage under the power base.
• Store the Tea Maker™ Compact upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.

Troubleshooting

• Check the power plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
• Insert the power plug into an independent outlet.
• Insert the power plug into a different outlet.
• Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
• For additional safety the Tea Maker™ Compact is fitted with a thermal cut out. In the event of severe overheating, the Tea Maker™ Compact will automatically shut down to prevent further damage
