Learn how to brew loose leaf tea and coffee with the Magic Tea and Coffee Maker/Infuser, plus simple cleaning steps to keep every cup tasting fresh.
Quick answer
Place the Magic Tea and Coffee Maker/Infuser on your cup, add your loose tea or coffee, pour in hot water, and let the automatic shut-off release the brewed drink into your mug. Rinse the infuser immediately after each use to prevent residue buildup.
Why the automatic shut-off matters for tea and coffee
The Magic Tea and Coffee Maker/Infuser features an automatic shut-off facility that releases your beverage directly into your cup or mug once placed underneath it, and stops automatically. This means you do not need to manually time the release or hold the device steady while it drains. For loose leaf tea brewing, this helps you avoid over-steeping if you get distracted, and for coffee infuser use, it keeps the process tidy.
One infuser, two drinks: tea and coffee
You can use the same infuser for both tea and coffee, but flavours can carry over. If you brew strong coffee and then a delicate green tea, the tea may pick up coffee notes. The catalog notes you can achieve several tea brews from the same leaves, so you may want to keep tea and coffee sessions separate or rinse thoroughly between types. There is no supplied information on whether the infuser is dishwasher-safe, so hand washing is the safer default.
Step-by-step: brewing and cleaning your infuser
- Set up the infuser over your mug: Place the Magic Tea and Coffee Maker/Infuser on top of a sturdy mug so the release mechanism sits above the rim. Check that the mug is wide enough to catch the flow without tipping. A wobbly mug is the most common cause of spills—use a flat, stable base.
- Add tea leaves or coffee: Spoon loose leaf tea or ground coffee into the infuser chamber. For tea, use about one teaspoon per cup; for coffee, adjust to your preferred strength. Avoid filling past the chamber’s capacity mark if one is present. Overfilling can block the release—leave a little headroom.
- Pour hot water and let it brew: Pour hot water over the leaves or grounds, filling the chamber. Let it steep according to your tea or coffee type—typically 2–4 minutes for tea. The automatic shut-off will release the drink when the infuser is placed on the mug. Do not stir vigorously; let the infuser do the work.
- Place the infuser on the mug to release: If the infuser is not already on the mug, lift it and set it securely on top. The beverage will flow directly into the cup and stop automatically. Remove the infuser once the flow stops. Never force the mechanism—if it does not release, check for clogs.
- Clean the infuser immediately: Rinse the infuser under warm water as soon as you finish brewing. For a deeper clean, disassemble any removable parts and wash with mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface. Dried tea or coffee residue is harder to remove and can affect flavour next time.
