The new lineup includes the TE-TS56V, which has an increased brewing capacity of 140 ml, and the TE-GS10B, which is the same size as the previous model. In addition, the tea leaves are drawn in more smoothly and the grinding time has been reduced by 20%. Anti-static resin is used on the front panel of the machine to prevent tea leaves from scattering and powder from sticking to the machine.
