You better be a fan of Earl Grey, or I'm telling Miles.

Personally, I actually went and bought a coffee maker that I actually use for tea, and due to the settings on it, it's the perfect brew every time.

Whenever I want, just toss some loose tea into the top, hit the right size button for my cup and enjoy my favorite plants.

That sounds awesome. So it steeps the tea enough?

I unironically love earl grey. It's one of my favorites that I always have on hand.

It came with a few nesting pieces going from a k cup style, fine mesh for instant coffee, and a larger cup for other things I'm not certain of.

The instant coffee mesh on it makes the water stay around the tea long enough for a pretty nice brew. If you add slightly more tea than needed, you can fill a cup with ice for perfect ice tea.

Same. I usually keep a couple sealed bags for an individual cup in my pack, so If I get the chance away from home, I can have some of the good stuff.

It's gotten kind of expensive near me though, I need to find somewhere I can buy bulk loose tea.

I've been working at reducing my caffeine intake off and on for a bit. And thought I'd share a similar thing that I recently discovered. My wife got me a tea advent calendar from Adagio for the holiday and one of them was called "chicoriccino". It's a chicory-based coffee alternative with caffeine only from cocoa nibs.

Good flavor, though I'd never claim it's a "coffee replacement", just a beverage with a similar flavor category (like apples and nectarines). The big game changer for me was discovering that it brews very nicely in my overly-fancy drip machine and at the same ratios as coffee. So, I can just use my regular coffee scoop and get a nice, no-effort brew. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes coffee-like things.
