Tea Magic Personal Brewer Description

Brew all your favorite teas at the touch of a button. Includes handy features like a programmable timer, cup and pot settings, lemon twist, and a spoonful of sugar option.

It can be purchased for $275. It also can only be placed on counters.

If you were to just read the description you would think this tea brewer is awesome. There are a bunch of options Sims can try. In simality, it works just like the coffee makers in the game but with tea instead. Unlike the coffee makers, the teas influence multiple emotions instead of just one.

Upgrading the Tea Magical Personal Brewer to Make it More Useful

Upgrade	Handiness Level	Upgrade Description	What it Does
Add Stick-Free Pot	5	Less stick means less clean up Uses 3 Common Upgrade Parts Upgrade Cost: $30	The brewer does not get dirty as quickly.
Add Infuser	7	For the coffee lovers who want better tasting coffee Uses 3 Common Upgrade Parts & 2 Kitchen Upgrade Parts Upgrade Cost: $200	Sims will get a chance of getting a +2 Inspired Moodlet for 4 hours Leaves of Greatness This tea has deep inspiring flavors that come from a teamaker with an infuser.
Self-Cleaning	7	This Upgrade keeps the brewer cleaner longer Uses 3 Common Upgrade Parts & 2 Kitchen Upgrade Parts Upgrade Cost: $200	Requires no cleaning

The Add Stick-Free Pot and the Self-Cleaning basically do the same thing for the tea brewer. The tea brewer will no longer need to be cleaned with these upgrades. It is better to go with the Add Stick-Free Pot .

The Add Infuser upgrade defeats the purpose of the brewer. The brewer is used for a specific emotion. Instead of providing a random inspired moodlet, a new tea option would have been better. This way, players could have chosen when to get the inspired moodlet.

An important upgrade the tea brewer could have included is one that makes the brewer unbreakable. This is needed because after a few uses the brewer tends to break. This would be useful if you needed to stack moodlets.

It is not really worth it to upgrade the Tea Magical Personal Brewer. If you do want to upgrade I would go with the Add Stick-Free Pot because it is the most useful upgrade because you will not need to clean the brewer in the future.
