Yay for a good tea trinket ... damn because it's 99 bucks. :P It sounds like it does everything I want from it, though, and would allow for an essentially hands-off tea-making process. Plus it would mean I could stop heading to the microwave every few minutes when my tea cooled ...

One question I have is, does the temperature control have actual numbers? One thing about the utiliTEA kettle that seems potentially annoying is that the temperature control only has color-coded ranges, rather than a numbered dial. I can't tell what the triniTEA has based on the picture.

The controls on the triniTEA are really simple, but are pretty much what you need.

There's temp 1, which is for green, white, etc. (180f I think?) and temp 2 (212f, I'm guessing) for blacks. That's all I've seen any of my teas need, so it seems to work out. There's a timer (up to 7 minutes) for steeping, and an on (start)/off button.

Plus it would mean I could stop heading to the microwave every few minutes when my tea cooled ...

I just top off my cup with more (hot) tea. LoL
