Hi Chris, The Café Smart 10-Cup Coffee Maker is available from Best Buy in brushed stainless steal with a glass carafe. I just googled it and found it on their site that way if you were having trouble finding it through their actual site. I often find google is better at finding things than I am if trying to navigate a sprawling website. About whether the device can make tea. In theory it should be able to but there might be a couple of issues. If you switch between using it for coffee and tea the tea might taste odd, even if you used paper liners for one (which you can use) instead of the gold mesh liner for both. Maybe if you also removed the inner plastic basket and washed that between switches. I clean it every time I make a pot of coffee so it doesn’t get a stale coffee smell anyhow. One thing I really like about this device is it is pretty cleanable despite warnings of not putting anything in the dishwasher (tosh). But the other thing about brewing tea in it is that the Café Smart, and many newer drip machines, brew fairly quickly and the (presumably loose) tea won’t steep. With my Café Smart, a 10-cup pot of coffee brews in about 5-6 minutes. But if you were just thinking of brewing directly in the glass carafe, of course you can use anything like a teapot. I have the thermal carafe myself and find that much better for keeping the coffee warm. We brew tea to a precise temp in a Cuisinart electric kettle—had it for ages. Green tea gets made 2-3 times per day and put in large thermoses for family distribution. That’s our routine. Hope that helps!
