Breville BTM800XL One-Touch Tea Maker

Congratulations

On the purchase of your new Breville Tea Maker

Today, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water. Whether your taste preference is for a rich full bodied Darjeeling tea, a delicate first picked Japanese Green tea or one of the hundreds of herbal teas now available, all tea drinkers know the special moment of escape that can be found while drinking that perfect cup.

Yet brewing tea is both an art and a science. Tea varieties are grown and produced in different environments and require specific water temperatures and controlled brew times to allow their unique flavor and aroma to develop during brewing. Boiled water is not considered good for making many tea types as the boiling process removes oxygen, making the water stale. To bring out the optimal quality and taste of more delicate tea leaves such as green, oolong and white tea, a lower temperature will produce a better flavored cup of tea while boiling water may scald the tea leaves and result in a bitter, astringent brew. Similarly, brewing the tea for too long may result in a bitter, unpleasant brew, while brewing for too short a period may leave the tea weak and tasteless.

The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker is fully programmable for all types of tea, water temperatures and brew times, eliminating the guesswork so you can enjoy a perfect cup of tea, every time.

Before First Use

Tea Types

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

1. Black Tea: The most common type worldwide. Made by fermenting harvested leaves for a couple of hours before heating or drying. Oxidation darkens leaves and increases caffeine. Strongest color and flavor.
2. White Tea: Rarest and most exclusive. Made from whitish buds steamed then dried naturally. Low in caffeine, slightly sweet flavor.
3. Green Tea: Approximately ten percent of the world's tea. Leaves are picked, rolled, and dried before turning brown. Distinctive aroma, slightly astringent taste.
4. Oolong Tea: Semi-fermented. Leaves processed immediately after picking. Short oxidation period turns leaves from green to red/brown. Floral, fruity quality. Not recommended with milk, sugar, or lemon.
5. Herbal Infusions or Tisanes: Not from the tea plant, but from flowers, leaves, roots, or seeds (e.g., chamomile, peppermint, fennel, rose hip, lemon verbena). Do not become bitter with extended brews. Can be brewed with boiling water up to 3 times without jeopardizing taste.
6. Blends: Combinations of different tea types for flavor consistency (e.g., English Breakfast, Earl Grey).

Tip: Brewed tea leaves make ideal garden fertilizer.

Tea Storage

• Vacuum-sealed bags: Up to two years, depending on quality.
• Once opened: Store in an airtight container in a dry, dark place.
• Black teas last longer than green/oolong, but all teas need ideal storage conditions.
• Signs of staleness: Lost aroma, bitter or dull taste.

Tips for Optimal Tea Brewing

• Water quality affects taste; use filtered water for best results.
• Finer tea particles infuse faster but can release more tannin, creating a harsher taste. Adjust brewing time for desired strength.
• Use approximately one scoop of tea per cup / 8oz of water, adjusting based on tea packaging and personal preference.

Water to Tea Scoop Ratio:

Troubleshooting

Possible Problem: Tea Maker will not switch 'ON'

Easy Solution: Check power plug is secure; use an independent outlet; reset circuit breaker if necessary. For severe overheating, a thermal cut-out will shut down the unit; call Breville Customer Service (1-866-BREVILLE).

Possible Problem: The Tea Maker will not work

Easy Solution: Check Glass Jug is securely positioned on the Power Base.

Possible Problem: The LCD light has gone out

Easy Solution: The Tea Maker enters standby mode after 3 minutes of inactivity (LCD screen turns off). To reactivate: Remove and replace the Glass Jug, or press any button on the Power Base (except HOT WATER|Cancel or TEA|Cancel). The LCD will re-illuminate.

Possible Problem: I cannot select certain functions

Easy Solution: Certain functions cannot be selected or changed during heating or brewing cycles. The LCD may change temporarily, or a sound alert may be heard, but no changes will be made to the cycle.

Possible Problem: The LCD screen displays 'RESET'

Easy Solution: This indicates a resettable electronic issue. Unplug the appliance, wait 5 seconds, then plug back in. If the message persists, contact Breville Customer Service (1-866-BREVILLE).

Possible Problem: The LCD screen displays 'ERROR'

Easy Solution: This indicates a non-resettable issue. Contact Breville Customer Service (1-866-BREVILLE).

Possible Problem: I would like to have the Tea Maker's default settings back

Easy Solution: Even when unplugged, settings are remembered. To restore default settings for each function, simultaneously press and hold AUTO START and KEEP WARM buttons for 2 seconds.

Possible Problem: There is a rattling noise inside the Glass Jug

Easy Solution: This is normal. The noise comes from the magnet in the jug post and may be heard when the Tea Basket is not attached.

Possible Problem: The 'BASKET CYCLE' feature / BASKET button does not work

Easy Solution: The BASKET button is only selectable when brewing tea, not when using it as a variable temperature kettle. When brewing tea, it has 3 uses:

1. To assist infusion: Continuously lifts and lowers the basket during brewing for maximum infusion. Press BASKET button once before or during the cycle (see Page 18).
2. For extra infusion: Lowers the basket after brewing is complete for stronger tea. Press and hold BASKET for 2 seconds after the cycle. Press and hold again for 2 seconds to raise the basket (see Page 23).
3. For brew times over 10 minutes: Basket lowers when temperature is reached and brewing begins. It does NOT automatically lift. You must manually lift it when the brew time has elapsed (see Page 21 for customizing brew time).

Possible Problem: After boiling water, bubbles appear around the temperature sensor

Easy Solution: This is normal for the functionality of the Tea Maker.

Possible Problem: My tea tastes too weak or too strong

Easy Solution: Tea taste is personal. Experiment with tea amount or brew time. For stronger tea, increase amount/time (see Pages 16 and 21). For weaker tea, decrease amount/time (see Pages 16 and 21).
