tea maker

also called automatic tea maker · tea brewer

A kettle that also steeps tea: it heats and holds a jug of water like any kettle (inheriting water capacity, keep-warm and temperature control — set to preset or variable for per-tea temperatures) and adds an infusion mechanism (a fixed or automatic rising basket) and a steep time. Its advertised per-tea programs (green, white, oolong, black, herbal) are temperature-and-steep-time pairs, not a separate slot. Distinct from a plain kettle (no infuser, no steep time) and from a coffee maker (which brews coffee, not steeped tea).
