Problem
The amount of tea
is smaller than the
amount of water filled
Glass jug and/or tea
strainer have taken on
the taste of the tea
that has been brewed
The tea is too strong
or too weak
Possible cause and solution
– Please note that different tea varieties absorb different
amounts of water, the amount of tea in the end is there-
fore smaller than the amount of water filled. Addition-
ally, a small amount of water evaporates during prepara-
tion.
– Glass jug and tea strainer can take on the taste of espe-
cially intensive varieties of tea like e.g. peppermint or
other herbal or fruit teas and even be discoloured. This is
normal and not an appliance defect. Clean the glass jug
and the tea strainer as described in the section "Clean-
ing".
– Tea taste is very individual.
– If the tea is too weak, increase the amount of tea leaves.
– If the tea is too strong, use less tea leaves resp. remove
the tea strainer from the jug immediately after the stee-
ping time has elapsed.
