Hi --
I have a Chef's Choice "Tea Mate" that has made terrific tea for a number of years, but is now showing signs of age, wear, and pending breakdown. The device has been discontinued by Chef's Choice and is apparently unavailable, even on eBay.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a similar device for making tea? If need be, I'll happily revert to kettle and pot, but I do like the convenience.
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Here is an intermediate option - an electric hot water dispenser. This is a device that you keep plugged in, and it keeps water at a set temperature. I have one and love it. Whenever I want to brew some tea, I have only to decide what kind, measure it into my teapot or filter mug, add water, and brew. There's no waiting for water to boil. If the water is too hot for the particular type of tea, I use a trick learned from a Japanese tea website - dispense the water into a measuring cup or pitcher, and then pour it into the brewing vessel. Depending on exactly what intermediate vessel I use, this drops the water temperature by 20 degrees F or more.

I too have a Teamate from Chef’s Choice and it’s breaking down. I love it and can’t find anything to match it. Very disappointing!
