Unlike most hot water fountains and kettles, the tea machine offers the possibility to choose from several temperatures. The choices vary according to the models, up to 5 different temperatures.
-capsule or bulk tea machine
Depending on the models, the tea machine can be fed via capsules or bulk tea. The capsules will introduce you to pre-selected flavors, while the bulk is more for connoisseurs, because they choose the aromatic palette of their tea.
