Breville Revive Organic Tea Maker Cleaner, 4 Pack BTM100

You know those products that look too good to be true? I assumed that from this product. I’ve been using the tea maker for about a year now without being able to get any stains out. I saw all the amazing reviews and thought “there’s nothing too loose” and gave it a go. It is amazing!!! 20/10! Actually works!

My Tea maker looks brand new again!!!

Don't know why, but these cleaner packets really, really work. My husband loves his new Breville tea maker but isn't terribly fastidious about keeping it clean. As the stains began to increase, he finally tried one of these packets, following directions, and was completely blown away by how easy and successful the cleaning process was. Said the tea tasted as good afterwards as it had when the machine was brand new. He now uses them weekly and routinely reminds me to buy more of them for him. He's been known to recycle the cleaning fluid after use in his Breville by pouring it into clean but stained tea mugs, even an electric egg boiler with scale accumulating on it. Presto! His tea mugs now look fresh and unstained, and his egg boiler is working smoothly again. Short of a magic wand, I don't ever expect to find anything else as inexplicably but simply effective as these little packets. Expensive, people say? Worth absolutely every penny, I say. P.S. If you're a tea fanatic and haven't tried the Breville yet, you've got a treat coming to you. My husband refused for 3 years to let me buy him one and only gave in with very poor grace a few months ago. It's now the favorite thing in his life (after me, of course!). Perfect tea, again and again, without having to wait or to keep track of time? Having it stay hot once it's ready, in case he got distracted and doesn't get back to it for a little while? He's totally thrilled, even after claiming furiously that he'd been making tea for decades and didn't need a multi-hundred-dollar machine to do it for him. Guess what? It's a luxury to be able to do something else while it's in the works and not to have to worry about it coming out right. He uses it three or four times a day. A huge win!

How exciting can I make a tea cleaner? How about: makes your tea taste twice as good! How about: after using this tea cleaner your odds of winning the lottery increase ten-fold! OK, a bit silly, but this isn't exactly an exciting subject. Or is it? I absolutely love my Breville Tea Maker, and have bought one for family and friends intent on sharing this wonderful device with everyone who loves tea. But, the very nature of tea...black tea especially...is that it leaches out of the leaves and into the water and on to anything else it contacts. Just a tiny bit each time, but over time there's a layer of tannins, lime (from the water), and other stuff slowly appears on the tea maker's glass carafe and tea basket. It's also incredibly hard to get rid of. I've tried quite a few things ranging from a mild caustic to CLR, and that stuff is like gum on your shoe: it won't all leave. Unless you use this Revive Organic Tea Cleaner. Personally, whether the tea cleaner is organic or not doesn't both me, as long as it does it's job. But, the fact it's organic is a bonus. What's in this packet is a mix of general detergents and an alkali (to neutralize and help the detergents dissolve the tannic acid) that work together. All that matter sis this stuff works: and it does. Run it through your tea maker, and you can easily see the difference. You don't need to do this too often, unless you have particularly bad water (in which case a simple water filter is a better investment), but I run cleaner through my Breville Tea Maker about every six months of almost daily use, and I notice a change in the clarity of the glass and basket. As long as you follow the instructions, you'll have sparking clean tea makers again. I recommend running a couple of full carafes through after cleaning, just to remove any residue, but this is a simple cleanup.

Amazing results! Prior to use I had tried the boiling water, sugar, and white vinegar method with little to no effect. Ordered and received the Breville cleaner and the first packet produced results exceeding my expectations. My Breville tea pot and the basket look brand new. I’m actually blown away by how well it worked the first time.
