I'm a big tea drinker and would love to see more high quality loose teas available for grab & go. However, I would not be as likely to use TeaBOT if I couldn't use my own reusable cup. Do you have any plans to produce and/or market reusable cups to work with the machine, with the (seemingly) popular filter lid? (I'd also rather be able to control the steeping time, but I get that that's hard to manage in a to go situation.)

Amazing feedback! We hope to allow reusable travel mugs (not yet though). We've been debating this internally, but it's great to hear it from a customer. Would you (or do you) carry a travel mug?

  Yes, I do carry a travel mug - specifically one with a removable filter for loose tea. (I actually also have a model where the internal loose-tea-holding-pod can be retracted from the water with a little lever! I think that one's made by Aladdin.) The university campus where I work, and the city I live in, are both extremely pro-reusable cup, and most places give you a small discount when you use one too. (ETA Ugh it looks like this thread got killed, annoying.)

    Great feedback; thanks. May I ask what city you'd suggest this for?

      Canadian west coast! Vancouver & Victoria.

        Perfect. We love it there. We've already been scoping it out if you check our Twitter feed :)

Tea bags on strings make steeping time really controllable. There are pack-your-own tea bag systems too here in the UK but I think most people would rather just have something good/familiar rather than blend their own weird tea.
