Selecting the Tea Strength
The desired tea strength determines the brew time. The correct brew time depends on the
tea type and your personal tea strength preference.
The Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic has 3 preset tea strengths recommended to achieve
Strong, Medium or Mild tea brews. It also features a customisable brew time setting to suit
your personal taste.
7. To select a preset tea strength:
a) Press the TEA STRENGTH button (R) and toggle
through until the desired tea strength – ‚Strong‘,
‚Medium‘ or ‚Mild‘ illuminates.
b) The LCD screen will display the preset brew time
recommended to achieve the selected brew
strength for the tea type selected. This is
displayed as the right figure on the LCD screen.
8. Press the TEA/Cancel (T) button to start the tea brew-
ing cycle. The button surround will illuminate and the LCD
screen will display ‚ON‘ and the real-time heating progress
in increments of 5°C. Once the water temperature reaches
50°C, ‚ON‘ will be replaced by the selected brew time.
NOTE:
The ‚BREW TIME‘ can be adjusted during the heating process but ‚BREW TEMP‘
cannot be changed once the heating cycle commences. To change the brew time press the
right ARROW UP button to increase the time, or the right ARROW DOWN button to decre-
ase the time. The brewing time can be adjusted in 30 second increments up to a maximum
of 10 minutes. To change the brew temperature, press the TEA/Cancel button to cancel
the heating cycle. Re-select the brew temperature.
9. Once the selected brew temperature is reached the assembled basket will automatically
lower into the heated water.
10. Once the basket reaches the bottom of the glass jug, the LCD screen will indicate the
brewing progress, automatically counting down in one second increments. This is displa-
yed as the right figure on the LCD screen.
11. At the end of the tea brewing cycle, the basket will automatically rise to the top of the
glass jug to prevent over-brewing. The tea alert will sound three times.
The tea basket is hot to touch after tea is brewed. Ensure the tea basket
handle has cooled before handling.
Selecting the ‚Keep Warm‘ Feature
This feature allows the brewed tea or heated water to remain warm for up to 60 minutes.
The ‚Keep Warm‘ temperature ranges between 70-80°C depending on the original brew
temperature selected. The lower the brew temperature, the lower the ‚Keep Warm‘ tempe-
rature.
