I have not had a problem with leaking. Granted, I've only had my
machine for 2 months, but so far, so good! My Sunbeam tea maker did
leak. The TriniTEA, while not the ideal way to make tea, is probably
one of the better automatic tea makers out there. I probably would
have paid the $99 to get it if I had not recieved it as a gift,
because at work, there's no other way to brew loose tea.
