Abstract
A machine for making hot tea wherein a pressure-resistant container for the supply of water supports or embodies an insulating carrier for one or more thick film conductors. A riser, which can be caused to move up and down relative to the bottom wall of the container, serves to convey hot water into a steeping receptacle wherein the water comes in contact with tea leaves. The sealable outlet in the bottom of the steeping receptacle can discharge hot tea into a vessel resting on a warming plate. The warming plate is supported by a leg of the housing for the container and steeping receptacle and can be heated by a second heater having a carrier for one or more thick film conductors.
