Great! I'm glad it worked out well for you! I actually just ordered a
new one myself a couple weeks back and I really can't speak highly
enough of it for the money. Dealextreme has always served me right,
and the combination of pricing and free shipping makes it a great stop
for things like iPod gear, flash memory, Nintendo DS rom carts,
Chinese kitschy toys, and outdoorsy stuff like flashlights and
compasses. Sorry if it sounds like a commercial, but I have really
got a lot of value and great stuff over the years and routinely order
from them.

I'm always surprised at how I overestimate on tea amounts too, It's
also amazing how different teas weigh and the volumes involved. I'm
normally not one for mixing my science and my tea, but every now and
then a thermometer or scale is handy for double checking your
assumptions and making corrections, and for a new user who wants to
start out right they are very nice.
