Craft Brewer

The Craft Brewer by Bkon claims to make the perfect cup of tea, so much so that the creators have labelled the popular brew as "tea 2.0". The device employs the use of a process called reverse atmospheric infusion. Loose tea leaves and water are placed into the brewing chamber, where a vacuum is created. This causes the tea leaves to be brought to the surface of the water, drawing out more flavour than the traditional method. The process is repeated over a period of 60-90 seconds and a total of more than 60 cups of tea can be made in one hour. The downside of this gadget? The price - it comes in at a whopping $13,000. Now I love a cup of tea but not that much!
