    Coffee machines do not boil water. Just heat it to below boiling.

    This has a significant effect on the brewing of tea. And means the flavour will be very unpleasant to many Brits.

    It is also the issue Brits find with the vaste majority of tea sold in American restaurants etc.

      You don’t want actual actively boiling water to make your tea. Also, water heated to just below boiling and cooled off from boiling to just below boiling is the same temperature.
