How frustrating to not be able to use the TriniTEA just b/c you live at high elevation... if you manage to tinker with it and get it to work, we would love to have a write-up from you with recommendations and instructions, even some video. I'm sure there are others who have the same problem and would love the advice. :) Wow, that’s an issue I hadn’t even considered!

I would love to use it for black tea, but it does not work properly for boiling water out of the box at this altitude. Let me explain a little bit so you know why. The boiling temperature of water is lower the higher altitude you are at. At the height I live at, the boiling point is actually 209f. The TriniTEA never realizes the water is boiling since it never gets to 212f, so it would boil it forever (and explode, which happened once). I am trying to find a way to make it sense that the water is boiling at my altitude, even if it involves hardware modification. At the moment I have to set it to the II (boiling) setting then watch it closely. As soon as it gets near boiling, I turn the machine off, set it to I (180f), then turn it back on. This works, but is a bit dangerous (said explosion happened when I forgot about it) and inconvenient in an automatic tea maker. Any help is appreciated.

I am quite curious why they are different. I am going to have to send in video proof that mine holds four cups. I am quite curious why they are different.
