Make Both Coffee and Tea With

When you're making tea or coffee the basic concept is the same. Boil some water the add the coffee ground or tea. That's it. No wonder that some people use their coffee maker as a tea maker too. Simply put tea into where you usually put the coffee ground and presto, you got a tea maker ready to brew your coffee.

The downside of using your coffee maker to brew tea is clear; your tea could taste like coffee and vice versa. Unless you got an unused coffee maker then use it solely to brew tea then that problem is unavoidable.

There are, however, hybrid coffee and tea maker where the same machine can brew coffee and tea but the brewing process is kept separate so your coffee always tastes like coffee and your tea always tastes like tea too.
