The Breville BTM800XL Tea Maker is for anyone who loves loose leaf tea but struggles with proper temperature and steeping times. Different varietals—green, white, oolong, herbal, black—require distinct conditions to unlock their complex aromas. This 51 oz kettle, infuser, and water boiler in one takes the guesswork out: simply select your tea type, and the automated basket descends, steeps, and lifts at precisely the right moment. The 1500W heating element brings water to boil quickly, while five pre-sets ensure every cup is full-flavored without bitterness.
Feature deep-dive: The 51 oz (1.5 L) capacity brews up to 6 cups of tea. Pre-programmed temperatures: Green (175°F/80°C), White (185°F/85°C), Oolong (195°F/90°C), Herbal (212°F/100°C), and Black (212°F/100°C). The keep-warm function holds at 140°F for up to 60 minutes. The German-made glass vessel is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. The motorized basket motor gently stirs the leaves for optimum infusion, then lifts to stop steeping. The brushed stainless steel base matches any modern kitchen.
Unlike standard kettles with no control or single-setting infusers, the Breville Tea Maker offers precision steeping with one-touch convenience. The automated basket eliminates over-steeping, while the 5 temperature presets unlock delicate flavors that average tea makers miss. Its dual function as a standard water boiler makes it versatile for hot chocolate, matcha, or instant soup—a truly multi-purpose appliance.

For years, tea lovers faced a dilemma: use a simple kettle and guess at steep time, or settle for over-steeped bitterness. The Breville BTM800XL was born from a simple insight—each tea varietal has a unique personality that deserves respect. By combining precise temperature control with an automated basket, it lets you experience the full spectrum of flavors, from the grassy notes of green tea to the roasted depth of oolong.
Five one-touch programs deliver exact temperatures: Green at 175°F, White at 185°F, Oolong at 195°F, and Herbal and Black at 212°F. The motorized basket gently rotates to ensure even infusion without crushing delicate leaves. When the timer ends, the basket lifts automatically, stopping extraction at the peak of flavor. The keep-warm feature then holds tea at the ideal drinking temperature for an hour.
Beyond tea, the BTM800XL serves as a powerful 1500W kettle that boils water fast for cooking or other beverages. The German glass is dishwasher safe, and the base wipes clean effortlessly. Whether you’re a connoisseur or a casual enthusiast, this tea maker elevates daily rituals.
Breville engineers each component—from the responsive thermostat to the quiet motor—for years of reliable performance. Backed by a 1-year warranty, it’s a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
Yes, the motorized basket and gentle agitation are designed specifically for loose leaf teas. It handles full-leaf varieties well, but you can also use tea bags by placing the basket without leaves.
Definitely. It functions as a standard 1500W hot water kettle for boiling water for hot chocolate, matcha, instant oatmeal, or any hot beverage. Just press the boil button.
The keep-warm function holds the tea at approximately 140°F for 60 minutes. After that, the machine shuts off for safety.
The vessel holds a maximum of 51 oz (1.5 L), which brews about 6 standard cups of tea. For brewing, fill at least 3 cups (24 oz) for proper basket function.












I drink a lot of green and black tea. This thing nails the temp every time. No more bitter over-steeped cups.
The keep-warm function is brilliant for lazy afternoons. Only gripe is the glass carafe feels fragile. Otherwise it's a dream.
The basket drops and lifts automatically. So you get the exact steep time. I use it for oolong and white teas. Temperature presets are spot on.
Second one of these I've bought. The first lasted five years. This one seems identical. I love the 60-minute keep warm in winter.
Works great. Steeps exactly as I set it.
Does a fantastic job. But it's a bit tall for under my cabinets. I had to move it. Tea quality is worth the space though.
I primarily drink pu'erh and it does fine. But the basket only goes down so far. For some teas I wish the steeping time went longer than 5 minutes. Still better than a kettle.
Got this for my mom's birthday. She texted me a photo of her first cup. Said it's the best tea she's made at home.
I always over-steeped my tea before. This takes the guesswork out. My wife loves that I can set it for her herbal teas too.
I compared with a Zojirushi. This is cheaper and does the same job. The glass is nice but I'm careful cleaning it. No problems at all.
The keep warm feature is just what I need. I can have a hot cup of chai all morning.
My sister has one so I bought it. Makes my morning routine so much nicer.
