Can a coffeemaker double as a teamaker?

Question

I want to start drinking tea instead of coffee, but I don't want to have to buy a teamaker if I can use the coffeemaker that I already have. I'm just wondering if I can use the coffeemaker to make tea. TIA

Answer 1

Yes. Just pop loose tea in instead of coffee granules.

Answer 2

it can, but it wont be as hot as tea usually is because coffee makers use water that doesnt reach boiling point.

Answer 3

Sure,, if you have the regular drip coffee-maker,  just put teabags or loose leaves into the bin that's supposed to hold the coffee grinds.  If you use teabags, there's no need to put a filter but if you use loose leaves, then keep using the filter.  Make sure you leave the tea bag tags out of the bin.

Answer 4

i do. just put a couple or 3 tea bags right into the pot and let hot water run into it. you can put loose leaf or herbal tea in a cofffee filter also. enjoy.

Answer 5

yes, i do all the time

Answer 6

Yes, but rinse the pot and basket very well or you will have a slight coffee flavor to your tea.

Answer 9
