Frugal tea making: Automate it?

 I drink a lot of tea and am currently buying it
pre-made in gallon jug at the store

I know making it at home is cheaper/better..... but
would investing in a Mr Coffee tea maker make sense or
is it best to just use a pot and heat water on stove
and use tea bags?

Bottom line...any value to buying an automatic tea
maker such as link below?

Gads. And you LIKE that stuff?

Good grief.. how in the world do you think people survived before
specialty appliances?? Try using a pot or a kettle to boil water. Just
like your momma and grandmomma did. Then pour boiling water over tea.
Steep. Drink.
Why make it more complicated and costly than it need be?

 

I realize that... but the question was if any value in
"automating" it?

That's a decision YOU have to make. Value is in the eye of the beholder;
however, I have a hard time understanding how boiling a pot of water on
the stove is more difficult or more costly then an automatic tea maker.
