In a word: Terrible. Not in an "I brew *my* tea from loose tea only"
way, but in a seriously terrible tea way.

I got one of these for free before Christmas at Target. If you bought a
box of pods you got the maker for free. So I bought Tea pods, English
Breakfast (it was one of the better options from the selection) and it
consistently is some of the worst tea I have ever drank. I will say
that I tore open a pod and put it in my infuser and brewed it properly
and it was better (although still not great) so I am thinking the maker
is to be blamed somewhat. The tea that came from the pod was poor to
barely passable IMO, and a pack of Twinnings would give it a strong run
for its money (and much cheaper).

I actually wouldn't say a restaurant would be any better with one of
these. They are purely a money making scheme and the pric per cup is
very high. The only possible thing I could see this good for is teas
that require lower temp. water. I have brewed a plain teabag of green
tea in it to see and it was pretty much the same as if I had done it in
the microwave.

Dunno, that's just my opinion. I've made about 4 cups of tea with it
and it is in my basement now, where it will most likely stay.
