Is there such a thing?
My perfect Tea Maker
6 Cups
Infuses tea, doesn't percolate or drip water through it but actually infuses with variable water temperatures and steep times.
Timer
The Trinitea is the closest I can find, great tea maker but I'd love for it to be a little larger. However, the biggee for me is a timer like a coffee pot. So I can walk down the stairs in the morning and pour some tea for work because it started steeping at 7am when I was still up in the shower.

Patented 1902.
Perhaps you can find a more modern one if you search for "teasmade".

...for example, this teasmade ("Swan DO1 Compact Teasmade"):

is avaliable at amazon.co.uk for £57.
edit: at a closer look, it is out of stock there, but it should be possible to find that or other teasmades in online shops from UK.

If you're willing to shell out the $$$ this fellow could probably make one for you.
